Graphite-Only Pencils

The Karst Woodless Pencils Have Five-Times More Graphite Than #2 Pencils

Pencils are notorious for being encased in wood, so the Karst Woodless Pencils have been designed to take things in a decidedly different direction for artists and designers alike to appreciate. The writing utensils feature a 100% pure graphite design that has a 2B level of hardness and thus have five-times more graphite than conventional #2 pencils. This will make the pencils far more versatile by allowing users to sharpen the tip to be ultra-fine or even allowing it to go flat for a more blunt shading surface.

The Karst Woodless Pencils come in packs of five and feature a more weighted design when compared to wooden alternatives to make them a more substantial utensil in the hand.
