What a name eh! I have no idea where this pencil originates, I found it in Loughborough, and was instantly drawn to it not only because of its name but its design. It feels like it has been sitting in someones cupboard since the 1980's.
As a drawing pencils it's alright, it's crisp and sharpens well and has a relatively good tonal range but I quite like black pencils and this is definitely a grey pencil. I would though like to try out the complete range. My pencil of choice tends to be a 3B so I was a little disappointed that I didn't like it as much as I should of.
But nevertheless this pencil is going to stay in my collection based on looks alone. Never judge a book by its cover, pah.
