Marking non-porous surfaces with standard graphite creates frustration, the mark either won't adhere or smears immediately. Scribe-All pencils solve this with specialized cores that grip smooth surfaces like acetate, glass, metal, and photo prints. The waxy formulation bonds to materials that reject ordinary graphite, creating marks that stay put during layout work, photo retouching, or film annotation.

Cedar wood casings house these specialized cores in traditional hexagonal barrels that prevent rolling and provide comfortable grip during extended marking sessions. Color-matched finishes, black or white, help you identify which pencil you need at a glance when working across varied surface tones. Both colors mark with consistent opacity, ensuring legibility whether you're annotating dark film or marking clear acetate for overhead projections.

General's includes their steel blade sharpener with the two-pencil set, designed specifically for these waxy cores that can gum up standard pencil sharpeners. Individual black or white pencils let you stock up on whichever color you use most. Architects marking drafting film, photographers annotating prints, and anyone working with non-porous materials will find these pencils handle situations where standard graphite simply fails.
