Foray Auto Feed Mechanical Pencil 0.5mm Black Barrel

This beautifully designed pencil is the archetype of the golden standard.

It excels among many other choices for the elegance and maneuverability in its design.
The pencil's beautifully black metallic luster commands respect. Anybody writing with an instrument so bold in design will appear astute and divine.

 

The push-top functionality is stylish and precise. No need for tolerating cacophonous clicking, this pencil is silent.The lead-drive technology provides celerity and accuracy because it pushes out 1.3mm per pencil click and only needs nine clicks in between lead strips.

The pocket clip is robust yet perfectly removable. 

The Chrome tip delivers a sharp touch, and the internal black barrel provides extra support to execute a pleasantly tenacious drive.

The pop-off top is weightless yet held over the pencil in a robust fashion. In addition, the eraser resists smudging and almost lifts the pencil marks off the paper.

The pencil is manufactured at a comfortable length that is neither insufficient nor un-manageable. The weight distribution is magically symmetrical. So pen-spinning during World History ennui is absolutely acceptable. "Over and Under" can be easily achieved, as well as the "Thumb Kick" due to its manageable weight, and its proportionate design.

Overall, this flawless design is efficient and easy. A frindle universally approachable from cursive in third grade to taking voluminous notes on endless lectures.

The Genesis

This goes out to the people with a penchant for pens and pencils.


The legacy of the pencil is a celebration of cultural diffusion and environmental resources.

From the day cavemen decided to dip their fingers into gels of grounded berries to this day where people rehash the vestigial predilections back to those digits for the new era of touch screen technology.


The development of the pencil had already started its course from the early times.
Europeans already had started using sharp points and lead to compose their works of literature, but it was by the eighteenth century when these sharp points started getting encased in wooden sheaths.


It was the perfect combination of Borrowdale graphite and European Juniper, but unfortunately the Crown shut the productions down to maintain the mineral value. Other ingredients, including sulfur and glue, were added into the mix to husband the precious quality of the Borrowdale graphite.

In 1793, when the beef between England and France arose, the French responded to this shortage.
Nicolas-Jacques Conté programmed a formula which became how we make pencils today. The scientist produced a paste of typical graphite and potter's clay and water and dried this result into a long mold. The mold was then encased in a ceramic box and cooked in an oven.


These beautiful graphite ammunitions were then placed in wooden cases and provided a very serviceable pencil that could be an undifferentiated quality and produced in global quantities, celebrating a cultural devotion to experimental engineering and an revitalized appreciation for science around the Atlantic World during the European revolutions.
