56 t o t e l l t h e t r u t h Do you know why ... are globetrotters? The self-effacing and really quite humble pencil is a simple tool. Yet as a direct, straightforward and reliable way to develop new ideas it has what it takes. The pencil is not just a technological milestone and a household article owned by pretty much everyone, it is also a world citizen. Its various components are sourced from a whole host of different countries: graphite from Sri Lanka, Siberia, Bavaria or Mexico; clay from Mississippi and Austria; rubber from Malaysia and the Orient. The wood for its body is either Californian incense cedar or Brazilian pine, while South American rubber and Italian pumice stone are used to make its eraser. On this point opinions differ, however. The eraser stuck to the end of a pencil with a ferrule or metal cap are an entirely American invention. Whereas pencils with this accessory have dominated the American market since the nineteenth century, they failed to take off in Europe, as did their typical yellow colour. But despite these differing preferences, some pencils have managed to become legendary nonetheless: take the Blackwing 902, for example, or the Faber Castell 9000, the Dixon’s Ticonderoga, the Koh-i-noor, the collectors' editions by Caran d’Ache or the "Backyards and Gardens of Portugal Scented Pencils" by Viacro. Although digital woman or man now swipes, clicks and types, it is still the pencil that connects our hands directly with our brains. Indeed, studies have shown that people who write by hand have a greater capacity to concentrate, perform better academically, can express themselves more creatively and are more self-confident.
issue #4 © l i n k e d 57 “Backyards and Gardens of Portugal” – the cedar barrels of these HB pencils are perfumed with nostalgic scents of the Portuguese landscape, and convincingly so. Blackwing 602 – originally manufactured by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company and initially sold for 50 cents each. After production stopped in 1998, single original pencils were found on eBay for over $100. Originals are becoming increasingly rare. Since 2012, a pencil under the same name is again being manufactured by Palomino, available in packages of 12 for about $20. CASTELL 9000 – in elegant green a real classic among pencils. Alexander Graf of Faber-Castell brought it onto the market in 1905. Quality and the finely graded 16 degrees of hardness make it the preferred tool for artists and draftsmen. Caran d'Ache Les Crayons de la Maison Edition No.8 – includes four HB pencils made from whitewood and lime tree, scented by the perfume-maker Mizensir with 'Memories of Schooldays', containing essences of cedar, liquorice, sandalwood and birch heart. “Same same – but different“ – It's all " just" carbon. That's what the Austrian Joseph Hardtmuth thought when he founded his pencil factory in Vienna back in 1790 and called his products after one of the most famous diamonds: KOH-I-NOOR.
