Why is there no lead in the pencil?

Contrary to what many may think, our modern-day pencils do not contain lead. In the 17th century, lead ore was mined in Borrowdale, England, and processed into pencils. It was not until over 200 years later that researchers discovered that this was not lead ore, but a new substance, which they subsequently called graphite. As the name "pencil" had become an integral part of everyday language, it was not corrected but continued to be used.

The different degrees of hardness and what you use them for

Different degrees of hardness are produced depending on the ratio of clay to graphite. More clay gives the lead greater strength and more graphite results in darker abrasion. The MONO 100 line ranges from 9H (hard/hard) in various grades to HB (hardblack/hard black), F (firm) and 6B (black/black). As there is no fixed definition for the different degrees of hardness, an HB pencil can differ from one manufacturer to another.
