The best pencil I have ever used for everyday writing. I'd heard it from others and they were so right. It is very understated and so well engineered. I have mostly been a Staedtler user, but this Faber Castell exceeds even that great mark. All hail the 9000! Review: Great for watercolour sketching - Brilliant pencil for sketching, especially prior to painting in watercolour as lines are faint enough to easily colour. Bought one before but I lost it so just had to get another. ## Features - GRADES - Available in a wide range of graphite grades, from 8B (softest) to 6H (hardest), allowing for precise shading and detailing. - SMOOTH - These pencils offer a smooth and consistent laydown of graphite, making them ideal for both fine lines and shading. - BREAK RESISTENT - Known for their break-resistant leads, reducing the frustration of frequent sharpening and ensuring long-lasting use. - ECO-FRIENDLY - Faber-Castell is committed to sustainability, and these pencils are often made from sustainably sourced wood and eco-friendly water-based varnish. - Castell 9000 - a genuinely classic pencil - was launched by Count Alexander von Faber-Castell in 1905. Its quality and finely graduated degrees of hardness have made it a firm favourite with artists and illustrators. Its lead is fully bonded with the wood surround and is therefore particularly break-resistant. The Castell 9000 is available in 16 different degrees of hardness, making it the ideal pencil for all technical and artistic applications. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000KJOL56 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Age range (description) | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 8,745 in Stationery & Office Supplies ( See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies ) 81 in Wooden Lead Pencils | | Body Shape | Cylindrical | | Brand | Faber-Castell | | Brand Name | Faber-Castell | | Colour | Green | | Country Of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 3,399 Reviews | | Drill Point | Fine | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04005401190103 | | Grip Type | Smooth | | Hardness | F | | Included Components | Lead | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Colour | Gray | | Ink colour | Gray | | Is the Product Left or Right Handed? | Ambidextrous | | Item Dimensions | 17.5 x 0.7 x 0.7 centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.01 Kilograms | | Line Size | 0.5mm | | Manufacturer | Faber-Castell | | Material | Lead , Leather | | Material Type | Lead, Leather | | Model Name | Faber-Castell 119010 - | | Model Number | 119010 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Artistic and Educational Activities | | Special Features | Break-resistant | | Style | F | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Writing Instrument Form | Graphite Pencil | | Writing Technique | Pencil lead | | Writing instrument form | Graphite Pencil | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Faber-Castell - **Colour:** Green - **Ink colour:** Gray - **Material:** Lead, Leather - **Model name:** Faber-Castell 119010 - - **Point type:** Fine - **Special feature:** Break-resistant - **Unit count:** 1.0 count - **Writing instrument form:** Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Faber Castell Castell-9000 Series Graphite Pencil (Grade F) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6183idesy1L.jpg) ![Faber Castell Castell-9000 Series Graphite Pencil (Grade F) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ahaq2tbnL.jpg) ![Faber Castell Castell-9000 Series Graphite Pencil (Grade F) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61j11YMIpNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ok.

All hail the 9000! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for watercolour sketching *by K***R on 14 February 2026* Brilliant pencil for sketching, especially prior to painting in watercolour as lines are faint enough to easily colour. Bought one before but I lost it so just had to get another. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply the best *by A***R on 18 July 2026* Let's face it, you're unlikely to find a better pencil anywhere. They don't even break when you drop them (indoors). They're a pleasure to draw with and while they're priced at more than a student might want to pay, they are well worth the price when you're ready to upgrade. With a good range of hardness available, they are versatile tools for both artists and architects. The softer grades blend well. I also love the fact that I can buy individual pencils in my most used grades, though a set works out better value if you're upgrading from another brand. ## Frequently Bought Together - Castell 9000 Graphite Pencil - F - Rapidesign Interior Design Template for Living/Dining Rooms, 1 Each (R718) - Mr. Pen- Professional Drafting Dots, 500 Pieces, Art Tape, Artist Masking Tape, Architectural Supplies, Stationary for Art and Drawing Paper --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/66111299-faber-castell-castell-9000-series-graphite-pencil-grade-f](https://www.desertcart.us/products/66111299-faber-castell-castell-9000-series-graphite-pencil-grade-f) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-24*
