GRAF VON FABER CASTELL PERFECT PENCIL - 2ND GENERATION
그라폰 파버카스텔 2세대 퍼펙트 펜슬
It's been a long time since I posted the first generation Perfect Pencil of Graf von Faber Castell.
When the Perfect Pencil was first introduced in the world as Graf von Faber Castell inaugurated in 1993, it conspicuously had a different design compared to modern Perfect Pencils.
Being made of silver, it used a shiftable ring to grab a pencil.
Details can be found in the above link, but the cap didn't have the internal sharpner while having the eraser inside.
The exact moment is not clear, but it seems Perfect Pencils experienced a metamorphosis around in 1999.
It equipped with an internal sharpner, the eraser went outside on the other hand.
It still had a minute distictiveness compared to modern models.
This will dawn at the end of the post.
To talk only about the appearance, it looks nearly the same as the modern Perfect Pencils.
It's not easy to discern the 2nd generation model without a careful observation.
In the middle of the clip and the embossed area, one can find the junction for this 2nd generation.
The sharpner looks like this.
It has a plastic sharpner unlike modern Perfect Pencil's metallic sharpner.
And here's the key point of the 2nd generation model.
The extender has an additional decomposable part.
The exact way it helps to grab the pencil is not so obvious since the extender can easily hold the pencil without tuning this part.
What's more, these two parts cannot be totally separated - these two are in fact a single part.
This fact makes me quite confused about the precise role of this part.
When do I need to unscrew this part?
Anyway, this is a characteristic of the 2nd generation GvFC Perfect Pencil.
What we see today are 3rd generation models, yet I don't know when the generation has changed.
