The most common pencil casing is thin wood, usually hexagonal in section but sometimes cylindrical or triangular, permanently bonded to the core.

Some people will still refer to the core of a pencil as the ‘pencil lead’ even though the pencil uses graphite.Each pencil has a shoulder cut on one end of the pencil to allow for a metal ferrule to be secured onto the wood.

There’s only one type of F pencil so no number gradations are necessary to indicate degrees of ‘fineness’. Liquid pencils are traditionally not a pencil at all, but rather liquid graphite which is used in a similar way to watercolour paints. For example, the Faber Castell 9000 pencils are known for their effectiveness, and here you can get the whole set of 12. While some may compare them to crayons, these pencils are stronger and their markings last longer than many crayons and are popular for decorating crafts.
