For everyone wondering. When it comes to luxury stationery Fountain pens, or pencils. this is what you are paying for
1. The materials. A Lot of the time expensive stationary is made out of expensive materials. The pencil encasing is $425, the pencil is around $10 (it is an amazing pencil and worth it to try once)
2. The labor involved, when it comes to expensive stationary a lot of the time things are hand made. These people take a lot of time developing their craft so you can't expect them to be payed minimum wage for their hours upon hours taken to make these.
3. The brand, these brands have been around for hundreds of years creating the best of the best. Their years of expertise comes at a cost
there is a $8 dollar version that is not platinum plated
is there?
link pls id love to buy one
This Perfect Pencil is highly desirable though the television presenter didn't seem to appreciate the quality. I have this same pencil, it is manificent though did not pay nearly so much. People should shop around, for they can a lot less than $425 bucks and mine is the silver version, my sister owning the platimum plated perfect pencil, it's no less worthy. You are looking a lot of quality manufacturing here. Each pen is hand assembled and is going to last years and give enormous satisfaction to it user. It all depends on what values one has. This pencil is not for everyone.
I would use that money to buy full set of polychromos 😂 and a couple of items from faber castell
This pencil is Graf-Von Faber-Castell's. Extremely expensive, But Faber-Castell Perfect pencils are reasonable prices. Under $12.
The differences between Two Company is the material in use, The image of brands.
It's not just about the pencil. It's about the making and the processing and the meaning behind it. It's in honour of mainly Faber Castell Generations and each one is hand made and made precisely to the point. Von Faber. Not just a pretty thing. Not just an amazing tool.

Honestly, what's the "point" ?
to show off
Idk
Elegance.
Zeref Dragneel, Nice! 😎
You’d never lose something you pay that much for.... it’ll stay with you for a long time and almost have some sentiment to it. And if course who doesn’t want to show off?
Hello i am going to buy a pencil with a built in sharpener for 425$ because im stupid👍
I cant stop staring at that flab of fat dangling from that guys neck as he talksthe simple harmonic motion is real
Will-i-am Guo lmaoooo identity the nodes
lmao bruh
I bought a platinum coated version and was satisfied with its concept and quality. But I'm afraid of losing it I rarely use it outside home. When I want to bring it to work, which is rare, I take special caution not to lose it. The extender is small, heavy compared to the wood cased pencil, and seems easily to slip away from my pocket. When the pencil is long, you can't use the clip in a small pocket. The small canvas bag that comes with the pencil is helpful to carry it.
20 dollars pack of 12 of the best pencils in the world
The palomino blackwing
It had to absorb pencils 17 & 18 to achieve its perfect form.
Are bhaiya hum to 2₹ wali natraj se hi khush hain 😂😂👍👍
This pencil better be made from wood from Noah's arc ad have wifi for that price.
3:00 You get a much sharper point with a mechanical pencil. What the hell is he talking about?
*****
Mechanicals are sharper than any woodcase pencil, and they stay at the same sharpness (0.3mm, 0.5mm etc....)
I use woodcase for thicker lines and larger drawings, but for super fine detail without sharpening ; mechanical wins.
Crazy but nice
God Damm
"it's to protect the point of a pencil and make it more mobile" ever hear of a bullet pencil? It's like 15-40$ why would you buy this?
1:56 thank me later

This is not Infinite lol
Just put the price down, please. Like $20?
consumerism !!!!
definitely not worth $425...
