“Karandash” is the Russian word for pencil. The Caran d’Ache name has been a hallmark of quality since 1924. This is no idle claim – witness the intensive research and development our company has always invested in each and every one of its products. Over the years, Caran d’Ache has helped to establish “SWISS MADE” as a byword for craftsmanship and technical excellence throughout the world.
Smart in looks and durable in performance, the Ecridor pens are part of Caran d'Ache's history. The Retro pattern is a textured crosshatch engraving, giving a good grip.
