Quality, tradition and the fun of creatingLearn More

Once all pencils were made this way. General’s offers the distinct privilege of experiencing handcrafted quality pencils of the finest sustainable materials that become a natural extension of the hand because they feel so right. Cedar origins are celebrated in natural-finish, non-lacquered pencils emitting traditional cedar aroma that open the senses to falling under the spell of creativity. The company is one of an extremely small number of pencil manufacturers in operation in the USA today, turning out quality graphite, charcoal and colored pencils from scratch in the original factory in Jersey City, New Jersey. Now in it's sixth generation of family ownership, General’s remains committed to being the quality pencil choice for artists of all types.
