Graf von Faber-Castell sells the Perfect Pencil, a sort of pencil extender with an integrated sharper. The end of the pencil houses an eraser and has a metal cap. Placing the pencil with the point in the extender makes it possible to then use the extender's clip on a pocket without worrying about the pencil marking clothes or making holes. There are several versions of the Perfect Pencils, in plastic, platinum-plated metal, and sterling silver; Graf von Faber-Castell sells 0.7 mm twist mechanical action pencils. The barrel of the mechanical pencils is encased with precious wood or resins; the pencil extender with an integrated sharpener occupies a special position in Graf von Faber-Castell's collection. Together with the replaceable eraser under the pencil's cap, everything is always quickly accessible within the smallest space - for writing, correcting, and sharpening.
