Indelible Pencil

[SuperNib44]

I want to get one. I have read about the potential health risks. Are these risks real? I mean is the graphite/dye mix really so toxic? Also, if anyone has one, could they please post a writing sample? I would like to see if the dye really appears blue or not on the page. Any information about copying pencils would be appreciated.

Here is what little I could find about them- if you are interested http://cool.conservation-us.org/coolaic/sg/bpg/annual/v17/bp17-05.html .

I'm not in the habit of eating my pencils... well, when I was a kid I may have munched on a few... so I'm not quite sure what the purpose is behind an inedible pencil. A little clarification would be nice.

I had some of them about 30 years back (or more). If I remember correctly it was indeed some blueish tone to them. I held them often in my mouth, but haven't experienced any sideffects yet - but it tasted quite bitter.

I didn't like those pencils very much (they had been a present), because when I use a pencil I use it because I want it to be easily erasable. Most of the time I picked those pencils by accident and was quite annoyed that I couldn't erase it afterwards. So I never bought them again.

The line of such pens is at first not much different from normal pencil. With time/humidity the line gets more colour.
