Our top selling products over the past two years have included the brass pencil sharpeners from M+R (Mobius & Ruppert), ranging from the simple brass bullet sharpener to brass lead pointer to the fancier long-point Castor and Pollux. As we re-envisioned how we wanted the shop to look going forward, we considered reducing pencils and pencil accessories, but so many of you were vocal about needing a retail outlet specializing in pencils (especially these sharpeners and their specialty replacement blades) that we decided to keep them on, and potentially expand the segment moving forward!

In addition to M+R Sharpeners, we carry high-quality erasers from Tombow, and a range of woodcase pencils, mechanical pencils, and leadholders from brands such as Caran d’Ache, Tombow, Midori, and Uni-Mitsubishi. We have focused primarily on high-quality Japanese and Swiss graphite to date, since I have found that it works best with the longer-point sharpeners and also tends to offer the smoothest writing experience.

Both the Tombow Mono 100 and Mitsubishi Hi-Uni are stocked and available in a range of graphite hardnesses. All pencils are sold individually and by the dozen.

If there are specific pencil and pencil accessory brands that you feel are not adequately reflected at retail, and you would like us to stock, please reach out and let us know. That said, we can only continue to stock them if you spread the word among other enthusiasts and let us gain visibility (pencils are a very niche market, as you all know), so we greatly appreciate anyone spreading the word in forums, Facebook groups, on social media, etc.

The T.G.S. Curated Shop is an authorized retailer of all brands sold.
