This Czech company has been the worldwide leader of high-quality products such as crayons, oil paint, charcoal, chalk, etc. for 225 years. They specialize in many levels of hardnesses. The hardness codes were devised by the Friedrich von Hardtmuth of this same Koh-I-Noor factory.

The H stands for hard (Hart in German), the B soft (Blei in German) and F (this is the current HB) for fine writing (Fein in German). We offer these pencils in the range of 4B (very soft) to 4H (very hard), so you can draw lines, sketches, shading, whatever you like.

The 4H pencil is hard enough to sign/draw on stone and metal material. The soft pencils give you the possibility to create the volatility of charcoal and you can create shadows and depths. The colouring of large surfaces is done with a soft pencil. With the hard pencils you can make very detailed work with sharp turns and glossy lines. A hard pencil is more difficult to erase then a soft pencil. The pencils HB and H are most suitable for writing.
