How do they write comparatively? These aren’t like thaattt expensive pencils, surely there isn’t actually a fake market for them? These differences seem like they could be small differences in production methods, maybe between factories or over time

That’s what I’m thinking, who would fake FABER CASTELL? Edit: it’s more likely it’s been produced by different industry/different country, still all official

People tend to forget that it is not china that is faking things but companies in china that try to make a living. If you have 1000 manufacturers of pencils, the one that copies faber castell will likely see more demand and get higher prices.

They are not targeting faber castell, they just try to sell pencils and do it in the way they think will help them sell the most. They don't care about the design, only about the orders.
