Wooden pencil Staedtler Noris 120 2H — hardness 2H, lead Ø 2 mm, single piece, black/yellow

Staedtler Noris 120 2H is a wooden writing and drawing pencil designed for precise, hard-line marking. The pencil has a 2H hardness core with a 2 mm lead diameter and a classic hexagonal body in black and yellow. Made in Germany with wood from PEFC-certified, sustainably managed forests and produced using upcycled wood chips, this single-piece pencil is suitable for technical drawing, drafting, schoolwork and fine sketching where a firm, well-defined line is required.

Advantages

The Noris 120 2H offers high break resistance and a soft non-slip surface for secure handling during extended use. Its 2 mm lead diameter provides consistent, narrow strokes and durability for repeated sharpening. Production from upcycled wood and PEFC-certified timber reduces environmental impact, and the pencil meets criteria for the Green Product environmental seal awarded by TÜV Rheinland.

Suitable for

• Technical drawing and drafting that require firm, precise lines
• Architectural sketches and engineering notes
• School assignments and exam use where a harder grade is preferred
• Fine detail sketching and line work

Key specifications

• Lead hardness: 2H
• Lead diameter: 2 mm
• Body shape: hexagonal
• Finish: black and yellow coating with non-slip surface
• Material: wooden barrel produced using upcycled wood chips, sourced from sustainably managed forests
• Suitable sharpening method: compatible with standard single-hole sharpeners; recommended models include Staedtler Noris tub or compact sharpeners for best results

How to use

Hold the Staedtler Noris 120 2H by the hexagonal barrel to maintain a stable grip while drawing or writing. Sharpen the pencil with a suitable sharpener to expose the 2 mm core; regular, light sharpening preserves the lead and reduces breakage. Use the harder 2H grade for controlled, fine lines on paper, drawing film or tracing paper. When erasing, apply moderate pressure with a quality eraser to avoid damaging the paper surface.

Recommendations

For optimal sharpening and a fine point, use Noris tub sharpeners (models recommended by the manufacturer) or a compact precision sharpener. Store the pencil in a dry place and avoid extreme temperatures to maintain wood and lead integrity during long-term storage.
