$2 pencil vs $260 pencil. Graf von Faber Castell Perfect Pencil review and comparison

In this video I review and compare the Graf von Faber-Castell Perfect Pencil. Faber Castell makes many versions of the Perfect Pencil ranging from $8 for an all plastic model to over $15,000 for a gold and diamond limited edition version. This version was purchased by me using my amazon referral credits for $166 plus shipping, retail price however is $260. The Graf von Faber Castell Perfect Pencil in this version is platinum plated and handmade in Germany.

So much money for a pencil? Why how? Because it’s wonderfully made by hand in Germany, plated in platinum.

The pencil comes in a solid wood box pre sharpened with a fitted point protective cover. The end cap like most of the metal parts is plated in real platinum. You can unscrew the end cap to reveal a replaceable eraser. The cap looks works much like a fountain pen end cap, it can be posted, and has a hinged clip. Lift the end of the cap and it snaps to reveal the sharpener. Twist the very top of that sharpener to replace it.

As you can see all parts are replaceable making this a product that will last a lifetime. All items are well made and will last for ages. Overall I love the idea and execution of this version of the perfect pencil. This would be a great gift to a sketcher, artist or graduate in your life!

Having said that, are these pencils better at writing or drawing than your free or $1 pencils? No. Nevertheless if you have the means and have the want for this pencil you won’t be disappointed.
