Probably the most iconic Indian pencil out there. The Nataraj 621 HB is a lovely HB pencil. Made by the Indian pencilmaker Hindustan Pencils its graphite offers great quality for a reasonable price. I’d consider the core’s graphite to be true to its HB rating. My absolute favorite detail on the 621 is the golden printed “Be bold”.
A great credo for such a humble tool!
The 621 HB comes in boxes of 10. Each box includes a small plastic sharpener and eraser. If you order 10 pencils you’ll get the entire box including sharpener and eraser.
