For many pencil users, the Mono 100 by Tombow is one of the best wooden pencils ever made. The model is a favorite among draftsmen, designers, other professionals, and students. The pencils require only a soft touch when writing, feature break-resistant high-density graphite lead, and have beautiful glossy black paint finishes. Inside, each pencil contains a high-density lead core with 10 billion particles (or a hundred hundred million) per cubic millimeter—hence the name 100.
This set includes 12 pencils in assorted degrees of hardness. Use HB-H for everyday writing and simple sketching; the soft grades B-9B for expressive drawings and shading; whist the harder grades, 2H-9H can be used for more technical and precise mark making.
