Grafiittipihdit

Grafiittipihdit, also known as graphite pencils, are writing instruments that contain graphite, a form of carbon, as their core material. They are widely used for drawing, writing, and shading due to their ability to produce a range of line widths and darkness. The graphite core is encased in a wooden or plastic casing, which protects it from breaking and provides a comfortable grip. Grafiittipihdit come in various grades, ranging from 2H (very hard) to 6B (very soft), with 2B being the most commonly used for general drawing and writing. The hardness of the graphite determines its ability to produce fine lines or dark shading. Grafiittipihdit are a popular choice among artists and writers due to their versatility, affordability, and ease of use. They can be sharpened to maintain a point and are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to suit different needs. Additionally, they are an eco-friendly option as they do not contain harmful chemicals like lead, which was used in traditional pencils.
