Faber castell and Staedtler have become one of my favorite pencil brands! Best pencils made in Germany 🇩🇪 👍
What a nice gentleman ! I love Faber-Castell !
I love Faber Castell pencils, it is the best pencils brands I've tried in my whole life!
The wood in their Classic 9000 Pencils range...smells musky and like heaven, it writes like a dream and the HB graphite tip has insane staying power and lasts very very long. So you really get what you pay for and more when you pay for those lovely emerald green 9000 pencils. Keep it up. I LOVE IT.
To be fair, that is not why their pencils are very good. There are Japanese and American pencils that have even stronger and better aromatic cedar element to them. Not saying I disagree with your idea. I just think it’s a combination of the construction, the quality lead, the easiness of sharpening, and the name are what make their pencils amazing.
I love Fabercastell 😍😍
My favorite brand in the world. I love all of their products. Even their kids supplies are amazing.
Love their products
I love faber castell..😍
i am from Saudi Arabia when i was a kid i used these pencils in my elementary school I was attracted to American made pencils cuz they look more decorative but in low quality, so i went back to faber castle again they were such adorable pencils
In the United States there are numerous pencil manufacturers. Some aren’t even manufactured in the US but are good, some made in the US are not as good. Main point is that they vary greatly in quality. Even under the same brand name such as Dixon, or Musgrave they can make a very good pencil and they can make just “ok” pencil.
Faber Castell makes great pencils and so does Staedetler. Both are excellent, but the best pencil of Faber Castell would be better than the best of Staedetler. Also Faber Castell have a special passion for Pencils, and that is cool on its own.
Beautiful pencils I love them
Wow! I never thought about the invention of the mechanical pencil and how it must of had an impact on the pencil makers. And now email, smart phones and tablets.... They better get creative and look for new opportunities if they want to survive in the digital world.
A pencil is eternal and classic, one who cannot use a pencil will never be able to write on anything.
Pencil and colour pencil..nothing will replace them...children early learning all using pencil..
Peasants had to pay a dozen eggs for a single pencil for their school children.
What a remarkable business, I had no idea that the first modern day pencil was made in the 17th century, having a pencil was indispensable in grade school ... for math!

I just buy the Castell 9000 and jeez it feels like i just bought a rolls-royce. 😂😂😂
Great report! From Amarillo, Texas!! Thank you... :)
Love them
He sits there and counts the pencils.
my favourite brand ..
What’s with the ellipses?
Excellent....
We wish to see WFPPL. WHY IS IT EXCELLENT
Great facts to know
They should make a pencil and call it Das Uber Bleistift. It will be the most popular pencil outside of Germany because of the word “uber” alone
The more knowledge we gain the more we gain the more purpose we gain in need of learning new information.🥂
very good business how is cost this machine and where is manufacturing this machine
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.!
I still have a Eberhard Faber pencil
Despite the name, Eberhard Faber was unrelated to Faber-Castell. (Though Faber-Castell actually bought Eberhard Faber for a while! Eventually Eberhard Faber was sold to Newell (parent of Rubbermaid) and the brand rolled into Paper Mate.) If you like the old Eberhard Faber pencils, though, the Palomino pencil company has started making a reproduction of Eberhard Faber's most famous pencil, the Blackwing, and the reproduction is awesome.
My grandpa has a big set of eberhard faber markers
yes i have one
My brain is around sentence let's International Papers ... Ok, let's International Papers, China and Eng. Guttenberg ...
I prefer ticonderoga pencils. But faber castell are pretty nice. Pretty pretty nice.
GrailHunter i think Faber's are better
You mean prettay prettay good?
I was looking for STABILO pens' videos; how the fuc#$ do I end up here?!?!?
Because Faber Castell is just better. 😂
It's a good pencil but it's very brittle.

I wonder involvement his family one generation ago had in ww 2 and the atrocities committed against the Jews.
They are great, indeed! What was their hole in nazy Germany on 2nd Great war?
Their hole?!
These pencils break easily with cheap blade sharpners and grinders
boring
+Bridget Callan Boring, just like your personality.
Indeed, the most boring comment I read this year.
At 1:48 “I don’t like to give the know how to China, for example” . That is a good sentiment, but I am afraid it is not his choice. Chinese manufacturers will steal or figure out regardless of whether he would like to give them the know-how.
