Faber-Castell 1111 pencil
This is the final pencil in this August series on the pencils of Australia and New Zealand. Thanks again to Dave for sending me these pencils.
The Faber-Castell 1111 is an uncapped hexagonal pencil in matte black, simply marked:
SV 1111 21/2=HB Faber-Castell
It definitely looks nice in all black with minimal markings.
As a pencil, it’s like others in this series - not bad, but not exceptional. The lead is slightly scratchy, but on the plus side seems to hold a point unusually well. After a page of writing, it seems just as sharp.

Probably it is of interest: the SV imprint stands for “Spezialverleimt” and means special glueing to avoid lead breaking.

Thank you, that is very helpful information!

The matte black finish is kind of like the Ticonderoga Black
