Crafted For Creativity. Made For Tax Forms.

Sharp minds require sharp tools. No. 2 Pencil’s wood body forms a perfectly cylindrical case for graphite, the part that leaves its mark on the page when you show it what to do. Built for writing, designed for doodles.

FiftyThree Shades of Grey

No. 2 Pencil makes sultry shades of grey. Gently rub the flat edge of the pencil tip back and forth to create contrast between light and dark. Smudge with your finger or side of your hand to get dirty. Chiaroscuro never felt so good.

Erase

No. 2 Pencil comes with a standard rubber eraser that lets you remove misspellings and wrong answers. (Note: erasers are non-replaceable. Please order more than one No. 2 Pencil if you a make a lot of mistakes.)

School Bus Yellow

A writing tool for the masses. Each No. 2 Pencil has a unique wooden pattern completely concealed by our signature yellow paint inspired by your kid’s ride to school. This model is widely available in the US.

Brunswick Green

Minimal, beautiful and just a little more European than the School Bus Yellow model. Also known to come in blue, black and even red. Not all countries use yellow pencils, you know.

Iconic Form

No. 2 Pencils have been used by teachers and students for a long time, as far back as 1988. The iconic form is recognized around the world. It crosses state boundaries and language barriers. Lápiz, crayon, blyant, 연필… They all mean the same thing: pencil.
