Advantages: Do notroll off the table

Disadvantages: None

Perusing the household miscellaneous category here I come across Staedtler Noris pencils .I shall talk about the Staedtler pencil in the picture although I do know Staedtler make a large variety of pencils

Now I know I have used many of these pencils, in fact I believed there was one in my stationary drawer next to me here at the computer. I rummaged in my drawer and low and behold I found not one not 2 but 3 of these pencils. I hold one in my hand right now.
Steadtler also make coloured pencils in the Noris style.

_Looks _
Staedtler have made these pencils for several; years now and many of you will recognise the yellow and black coloured lacquered striped coat of this pencil. Yellow and black stripes go up and down the pencil at the top there is first a white circle around the circumference then a black end to finish off, This pencil looks quite slim and elegant..
This pencil is not a round one there are 5 degrees, flattened straight sides.
There is some gold writing on 2 of the black lacquered sides is says Staedtler and gives a little info. The softness type is at the end of the pencil, sensible as this should be the last bit to be sharpened. This pencil is made of wood which encloses a graphite lead.

_Lead_
The graphite pencil has super-bonded lead which is designed to be break resistant. This Steadler Noris pencil comes in various hardness 2B , B, HB, H , 2H .
The pencil can be sharpened using any standard pencil sharpener.
Opts I made a mistake, never mind its easy to erase the pencil mark, rub out with this pencil eraser I have.

_Size_.
I measured the longest of my pencils.measures 16 cm, it has not been sharpened much so this is an only a little short of a new pencil The width is just under 1cm..

_ Use_
This pencil is easy to grip I think the flattened edges help. The 5 flattened sides certainly help with that roll away pencil problem, these pencils do not roll.

These staedtler noris pencil are a good pencil they give a good Mark on paper. You will find many schools and offices use these pencils.
