Can anybody tell me where I can acquire Bruynzeel graphite pencils I have the sakura 8815 – they are the best ever pencils for drawing. Mine are getting smaller by the day and I want to stock up if I can….many thanks Ewok

i seem to be a lucky person. i discovered bruynzeel 20 years ago when we bought two sets of 50 . these are with out a doubt the best pencils i have ever used and i have never been impressed with anything else since. my older brother even managed to exactly replicate the the beautiful tin they came in which required the use of all 50 pencils. only soft lead i’ve ever managed to blend colours with out the use of another medium.

I have been in love with Bruynzeel products ever since I was a kid. Recently I’ve tried a lot of brands, Derwent being the dominant one around here, and just decided to go back to Bruynzeel, probably selling all my Derwent sets (and there’s a lot of them!). It’s a shame Bruynzeel products are so rare for I haven’t even seen the other lines mentioned in this blog. Thus I consider myself really lucky for having the large set of coloured pencils, another smaller set of the same and Aquarel pencils as well as the Design 8615 set.
I think the 8615 just might be my favourite graphite pencils, I like the, way better than the Cretacolor, Faber-Castell or Derwent ones I have. On top of that, they are seriously the prettiest pencils I have ever seen — I think it’s important, especially in creative work, to have materials that are of good quality, pleasant to use and nice to look at.

Nice informative post on these rare pencils. I’ve seen mentions about colored pencils by this manufacturer before, yet I do not believe I have ever seen them in any online or physical stores.
