The Brand: Since 1899, e+m Holzprodukte has been creating high-quality wood desk accessories in Germany for customers both near and far. In addition to writing instruments, they have expanded to include many other office supplies all made of wood. A passion for wood, craftsmanship and fine writing pieces has always been what makes e+m stand out. With 120 years under their belts, they continue to be a leader in their field.

Description: A wonderful weighty piece that will go everywhere with you. The thick 5.5 mm lead will become a little addicting—it will be hard to go back to a basic #2. Paired up with a sharpener that will keep the thick lead sharpened to the perfect writing point.

Details: 5 1/2 x 1/2 inch around on clutch, 1 1/2 inch egg-shaped sharpener, beech wood (natural or painted black), 5.5 mm lead, sharpener works on 5.5 mm lead only

A Note From Erika: These are great for writing or sketching. The thick lead is nice because you can use the point or the side (fine line or lay down a larger line).
