A Japanese classic since 1946, the Mitsubishi 9800 B is an unusually nice pencil for writing or drawing. The B grade is one step softer than standard HB, for smoother and darker lines. Mitsubishi 9800 B retains its point very well for its grade. The green lacquer finish is smooth and pleasant to hold, and the gold foil stamp makes this humble object a little more eye-catching.
