An unusual pencil from Caran d'Ache, made from Swiss Beech rather than the traditional cedar wood, the Caran d'Ache 348 is both thicker and heavier than normal pencils.
Beech wood isn't normally this dark, so it has been stained which accentuates the white embossing on the shaft. Another neat design touch is that the end of the pencil has been dipped in a rich red paint and finished with a Swiss flag.
HB lead only.

Caran d'Ache is familiar to many for their excellent range of coloured pencils. However, Switzerland's premier manufacturer of writing instruments and art products has a wide range of items from simple office items through the classic Fixpencil clutch pencils and 849 Metal Ballpoints to the highly desirable Ecridor premium range and beyond. All are made with uncompromising attention to detail and to the highest quality.
Caran d'Ache was the pen name by which French illustrator, Emmanuel Poiré, achieved worldwide renown in the 19th century. “Karandash” is the Russian term for “pencil” and in turn comes from the Turkish root “kara tash” which refers to black stone – the origins of graphite.
This natural material found in the mountains of Switzerland gave rise to the first Swiss pencil factory, in Geneva in 1915. Nine years later, in the hands of its founder, Arnold Schweitzer, it took the name of the famous illustrator and became known as Caran d'Ache.
