Koh-I-Noor Toison D’or Drawing Pencils represent the gold standard in fine graphite instruments. Crafted with premium Hardtmuth® graphite, these artist-quality pencils deliver exceptionally smooth laydown and consistent performance across a full 20-degree range from 10H to 8B.
Encased in California cedar, a renewable wood prized for its resistance to warping and superior sharpening, each pencil is perfectly balanced for clean, precise results. The graphite cores are centered and glued along the entire shaft to prevent breakage and ensure durability, even with frequent use.
Toison D’or pencils are distinguished by their elegant black lacquer finish and signature cream, gold, and black bands, offering not only superior performance but also a refined aesthetic.
The Hardtmuth name has been trusted since 1802—Franz Hardtmuth invented the graphite grading system (H for Hardtmuth, B for Budějovice, and F for Franz), and this legacy continues in every pencil. Koh-I-Noor’s commitment to quality has been honored at world exhibitions and even recognized by Queen Victoria, who likened them to the Koh-I-Noor diamond.
