THE Best Eversharp

During my photo shoot of the pencils Joe Nemecek brought to DC, one of the boxes was unmarked and had a plain black velvet sleeve inside. When I went to remove what was inside, Joe suddenly sat up sharply. "Be careful with that one!" he said.

It wasn’t like I was throwing pencils around the room, willy-nilly, or that I’d developed a habit of dropping them while attempting to juggle them. It was just Joe’s instinctive (and understandable) reaction to someone about to handle what is arguably the rarest and most beautiful Eversharp ever made . .
