Pencil Staedtler Noris 120 2HB 12 pc(s)

The Staedtler Noris 120 2HB pencils are classic writing and drawing tools offered in a pack of 12. Each pencil features a hexagonal body with the familiar black-and-yellow design and a medium-hard 2HB graphite core suitable for general-purpose use. Manufactured in Germany and PEFC certified, these pencils combine traditional construction with responsibly sourced wood.

Advantages

These pencils deliver consistent line quality and reliable break resistance for everyday writing, note-taking, sketching and drafting. The hexagonal shape improves grip and reduces rolling on flat surfaces. The 2HB graphite provides a balanced darkness and hardness that is suitable for both clear text and simple sketches. PEFC certification indicates that the wood comes from sustainably managed forests.

How to use

Sharpen the pencil with a standard sharpener to the desired point for writing or drawing. Hold the hexagonal body between thumb and fingers to maintain a stable grip during extended use. Use 2HB for general-purpose writing and initial sketching; apply light pressure for finer lines and firmer pressure for darker marks. When not in use, store the pack in a dry place to preserve wood and graphite quality.

Recommendations

For longer writing sessions, choose a well-sharpened point and rest the hand periodically to maintain consistent strokes. For drawing, use 2HB for outlines and initial shading, then switch to softer or harder grades if more contrast or detail is needed.
