The six mile pencil contains enough graphite to draw six miles. Designed by Lyon&Lyon, the pencil illustrates how far its user has drawn with a mile ruler printed on it's body. The idea is to encourage people to take up the humble pencil once more. They will be produced by one of the last pencil manufacturers in England, Chambers Pencils, a 90 year old family run business. That is kinda sobering, imagine a world without graphite pencils. This is a Kickstarter project – SAVE THE PENCIL! http://ow.ly/C30RI
