Which Caran d'Ache model suits you

The best-known model is the 849 ballpoint pen with a hexagonal metal barrel and push-button mechanism. It's refillable and available in many colors as well as in changing special editions. The Grafwood pencils are aimed at artists and anyone who values an exceptionally well-made pencil.

For school and the office, the sturdy 849 is a good choice, as its metal body holds up well to being carried around a lot. If you often write on the go, you'll appreciate the push-button mechanism because there's no cap to lose. For special occasions such as graduation, an anniversary or a birthday, sets in a case make a fitting gift.
