Our traditional octagonal carpenter's pencils are made of wood from sustainable sources.
A bundle of five pencils in black and gold, with HB lead, make a great gift. They are the perfect partner to our sharpener and for a creative pioneer to make field notes of an adventurer.


I carry mine with me wherever I go, complete with my &SONS notebook.
The Traditional carpenters pencil
Origins
The very first graphite pencils were created in 1565, shortly after carpenters discovered that these simple markers could prove very useful in their craft.
Some believe the very first carpenter pencils ever created were made in the 17th Century. Back then, they still had that familiar flat square shape that gives them a distinctly different look from your typical rounded writing pencil.
