Description
The legendary 770 series, originally launched during the peak era of drafting mechanical pencils in 1978 and discontinued in 1990, has been revived and updated for the modern age. This drafting pencil features a 4mm sleeve for a wide field of view, a knurled metal grip for precision handling, and an "F" mark on the barrel to signify a fixed sleeve, derived from the German word Fest. Its design combines a resin body for durability and a brass grip section for enhanced usability and sturdiness, reflecting meticulous attention to detail despite its minimalist appearance.
Though many professionals in drafting and design fields had long requested its revival, production was delayed due to the unavailability of certain parts using modern technology. Finally, in 2024, this iconic pencil made its much-anticipated return. The four body colors, each classified as a shade of "blue," are designed for easy line-width identification. Lightweight and featuring a low center of gravity, it ensures comfort during extended use, making it a perfect companion for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
