Pencils, but not as you know it.

These pencils are machined in solid brass with a graphite tip, exactly the same as a traditional pencil but with a twist, literally.

The VPCo Brass Pencil writes, draws, shades and erases like any other pencil but it'll likely never need sharpening.

This graphite is at least 4x harder than that found in a traditional pencil and much longer lasting, but if a change is needed, these nibs easily screw in and out in seconds.

In our experience, a change will only be required because the graphite is quite brittle and may break if dropped which is why we supply it with plenty of replacement nibs.   

IN THE HAND

Crafted from solid brass, these pencils command a pleasing heft when in the hand.

Supplied in a polished finish, which can easily be maintained with a little bit of Brasso, if left unpolished, they develop a pleasing, vintage-tool patina. It's your choice. 

AVAILABILITY

We made 20, and lost 3 in the garden (don't ask). We have made 6 of these available to purchase today, the rest will be bundled with our Huntsman Bags. It is unlikely that we will make more in the future. 

Handmade in Orkney, Scotland.
