It’s with great excitement that I am able to announce New Zealand/Australia pencil month here at paper and pencil. Thanks to Dave at Dave’s Mechanical Pencils, I have a nice assortment of woodcase pencils from Auckland, New Zealand. None of them are generally available in North America, so this will definitely be of interest to many readers of this blog.

This is the review schedule:

August 1	Stabilo Othello 282
August 6	Stabilo Schwan 305 & 306
August 8	Generic Pencil
August 13	Staedtler Pacific
August 16	Staedtler 132
August 20	Staedtler Tradition 110
August 23	Faber-Castell Goldfaber 1222
August 29	Faber-Castell 1111
