    The wood in their Classic 9000 Pencils range...smells musky and like heaven, it writes like a dream and the HB graphite tip has insane staying power and lasts very very long. So you really get what you pay for and more when you pay for those lovely emerald green 9000 pencils. Keep it up. I LOVE IT.

      To be fair, that is not why their pencils are very good. There are Japanese and American pencils that have even stronger and better aromatic cedar element to them. Not saying I disagree with your idea. I just think it’s a combination of the construction, the quality lead, the easiness of sharpening, and the name are what make their pencils amazing.

    i am from Saudi Arabia when i was a kid i used these pencils in my elementary school I was attracted to American made pencils cuz they look more decorative but in low quality, so i went back to faber castle again they were such adorable pencils

      In the United States there are numerous pencil manufacturers. Some aren’t even manufactured in the US but are good, some made in the US are not as good. Main point is that they vary greatly in quality. Even under the same brand name such as Dixon, or Musgrave they can make a very good pencil and they can make just “ok” pencil.

    Faber Castell makes great pencils and so does Staedetler. Both are excellent, but the best pencil of Faber Castell would be better than the best of Staedetler. Also Faber Castell have a special passion for Pencils, and that is cool on its own.

    Wow! I never thought about the invention of the mechanical pencil and how it must of had an impact on the pencil makers. And now email, smart phones and tablets.... They better get creative and look for new opportunities if they want to survive in the digital world.

      A pencil is eternal and classic, one who cannot use a pencil will never be able to write on anything.

    What a remarkable business, I had no idea that the first modern day pencil was made in the 17th century, having a pencil was indispensable in grade school ... for math!

    They should make a pencil and call it Das Uber Bleistift. It will be the most popular pencil outside of Germany because of the word “uber” alone

      Despite the name, Eberhard Faber was unrelated to Faber-Castell. (Though Faber-Castell actually bought Eberhard Faber for a while! Eventually Eberhard Faber was sold to Newell (parent of Rubbermaid) and the brand rolled into Paper Mate.) If you like the old Eberhard Faber pencils, though, the Palomino pencil company has started making a reproduction of Eberhard Faber's most famous pencil, the Blackwing, and the reproduction is awesome.

    At 1:48 “I don’t like to give the know how to China, for example” . That is a good sentiment, but I am afraid it is not his choice. Chinese manufacturers will steal or figure out regardless of whether he would like to give them the know-how.
