The slim metal barrel of the Graf von Faber-Castell Tamitio Black Pencil promises stylish writing pleasure whose fine fluting is a real eye-catcher. The surface of the Graf von Faber-Castell Tamitio Black Pencil also attests to its meticulous craftsmanship: the technically-innovative varnish created specially for the "Graf von Faber-Castell Tamitio" is applied several times and imparts it with a durable, noble, matt look. Highly polished front and end pieces accent the barrel to great affect just like the subtlety engraved "Handmade in Germany" seal of quality. The Graf von Faber-Castell Tamitio is available in six beautiful colors as fountain pen, rollerball, ballpoint and mechanical pencil.

Graf von Faber-Castell have long been producing pens of exceptional quality from materials such as exotic woods, resins, and precious metals. The subtle yet elegant design of the Tamitio range applies the same attention to detail and manufacturing quality to simpler materials.

The matt powder-coated brass barrels complement the highly-polished steel trim. The design is reminiscent of the ever-popular Faber-Castell Ambition range, but with the addition of all-metal barrels with an increased diameter and the characteristic Graf von Faber-Castell internally-sprung pocket clip and trumpet-shaped cap.

The top of the cap is inset with a black resin inlay bearing the Graf von Faber-Castell logo, whilst the rear of the cap has the words 'Handmade in Germany' discreetly engraved.

This twist-action propelling pencil uses 0.7mm lead, supplied as grade B, and contains a reservoir for spare leads. Under the end cap is a replaceable white eraser.

In 1761, Kaspar Faber started to produce pencils in Stein, near Nuremberg. When the fourth generation,Baron Lothar von Faber, took over the company in 1839 he turned the pencil into a true quality product and the world's first branded writing instrument. Over the centuries, he and his descendants created remarkable products. The result is the Graf von Faber-Castell Collection, a range of extraordinary writing instruments and accessories. They embody "Luxury in Simplicity" by combining selected materials, functionality and superb aesthetics.
