Troubleshooting
Lead breaks frequently during sharpening
Ensure your pencil sharpener blade is sharp. Dull blades apply too much pressure to the wood casing, causing the internal lead to snap.
Eraser leaves marks on the paper
Clean the eraser tip by rubbing it on a scrap sheet of paper to remove accumulated graphite dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pencils arrive ready to use. To maintain the integrity of the lead and the exterior finish:
- Sharpening: Use a high-quality manual or electric sharpener designed for wood-cased graphite pencils to avoid damaging the silver casing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. While the finish is durable, storing them in a protective pencil case will prevent the silver coating from marring against other metal items.
- Eraser Maintenance: If the eraser becomes dirty, gently rub it against a clean piece of scrap paper to remove graphite residue before using it on your final work.
