A Quick History of Faber-Castell

Faber-Castell was founded in 1761 in Stein, Bavaria - making it one of the oldest industrial companies in the world and the oldest writing-instrument maker still in operation. Eight generations of the same family have run the company, and today Faber-Castell ships more than two billion pencils a year, alongside a full line of fountain pens, ballpoints, rollerballs, mechanical pencils, and fine art supplies.

The brand sits in a rare middle ground: heritage craftsmanship at price points that don't require a luxury-pen budget. The Loom and Hexo lines start under $100, the Ondoro and Ambition hit the mid-tier, and the Graf von Faber-Castell range sits firmly in the gift and collector tier.

Faber-Castell at Blesket Canada - by Range

Fountain Pens

Faber-Castell fountain pens are known for steel and bi-color gold nibs that are smoother than their price would suggest. The most popular Canadian picks are:

Loom - anodized aluminum body, ergonomic grip section, the entry point if you're moving up from a starter pen.
Hexo - six-sided body inspired by the original Faber-Castell pencil; a cleaner, more design-forward option.
Ondoro - ergonomic guilloché-engraved metal body, a step up in build quality and weight.
Ambition - a slim, mid-tier metal-bodied pen with refined finishes (resin, pearwood, rhombus, OpArt).
Emotion - heavier, distinctive grip section in pearwood, alligator-pattern resin, or croco textures.
Graf von Faber-Castell Classic / Anello / Tamitio - the gift-tier and collector lines.

If you're choosing your first Faber-Castell fountain pen, fine and medium nibs are the safest start; broad nibs work better with wetter inks and benefit from a converter.

Ballpoints, Rollerballs & Mechanical Pencils

Most Faber-Castell fountain pen models also come in matched ballpoint and rollerball versions, which makes them a strong choice for a coordinated daily-carry set. The mechanical pencils - particularly the TK-Fine and Grip 1345 - pair naturally with the fountain pens for sketchers and architects.

Gift Sets

Faber-Castell sets are popular gifts in Canada because they arrive presentation-ready: matched fountain pen + rollerball or ballpoint, in branded packaging, often with the Anello, Ambition, or Ondoro lines.

Sustainability - Why the Brand Looks the Way It Does

Faber-Castell uses FSC-certified wood from its own reforested plantations in Brazil, has been planting roughly 300,000 trees a year since the 1980s, and uses recycled content in its pencil ranges and packaging. If you're choosing between writing-instrument brands and sustainability matters to you, this is one of the few heritage brands where the eco story is verifiable rather than marketing. We carry the full Faber-Castell range without filtering out the entry tiers, so you can buy into the brand at any price point.

How to Choose: A Faber-Castell Fountain Pen Buying Guide

Budget under $100 - Loom or Hexo. Both ship with a steel nib that's reliable out of the box. Loom is more ergonomic; Hexo is more design-led.
$100-$200 - Ondoro or Ambition. Step up in materials and weight. Ambition has the most finish variations; Ondoro is heavier and more substantial.
$200+ - Emotion or Graf von Faber-Castell Tamitio. The Emotion's grip section is the differentiator; the Graf von line shifts into gift and collector territory.
Gift purchase - any matched set in Ambition, Ondoro, or Anello - the packaging is presentation-ready and the metal-bodied pens age well.
Daily writer - Hexo or Loom in fine or medium nib, with a converter and one bottle of Faber-Castell or compatible ink.

All Faber-Castell pens at Blesket are genuine and ship from within Canada with tracked delivery.

Faber-Castell Pens — Frequently Asked Questions

Are Faber-Castell pens at Blesket genuine?

Yes. Blesket is a Canadian retailer of Faber-Castell pens, and every pen on this page ships in original Faber-Castell packaging. We do not sell counterfeits, factory rejects, or unauthorised imports.

Which Faber-Castell fountain pen is best for a beginner?

The Loom and Hexo are the two most beginner-friendly Faber-Castell fountain pens. Both have steel nibs that work well out of the box, both accept standard cartridges and a converter, and both sit in an entry-level price range. Choose the Loom if you want a more ergonomic grip, or the Hexo if you prefer a hexagonal pencil-inspired body.

What's the difference between the Loom, Ondoro, Ambition, and Emotion lines?

Loom is the entry tier with an aluminum body and rubberized grip. Ondoro is a heavier, ergonomic guilloché-engraved metal pen. Ambition is a slimmer mid-tier metal pen with multiple finish options (resin, pearwood, rhombus, OpArt). Emotion is heavier and uses distinctive grip materials like pearwood, croco-pattern resin, and alligator finishes.

Do Faber-Castell fountain pens take cartridges or bottled ink?

Faber-Castell fountain pens use standard international short and long cartridges, and most accept a converter for bottled ink. The converter is sold separately on most models and is a worthwhile add for anyone who wants access to a wider range of inks.

What nib size should I choose?

For most writers in Canada, fine or medium is the safest first choice, fine for smaller handwriting and grid notebooks, medium for everyday journaling and broader paper. Broad nibs lay down a wider, wetter line and pair best with shading inks and high-quality paper.

Is Faber-Castell environmentally responsible?

Yes - verifiably. Faber-Castell sources its wood from its own FSC-certified plantations in Brazil, has reforested a substantial area since the 1980s, and uses recycled materials in much of its packaging. It's one of the few heritage writing brands with a documented sustainability program.

How fast does Blesket ship Faber-Castell orders in Canada?

Faber-Castell pens ship from within Canada with tracked delivery. Standard Canadian shipping times apply; specific delivery estimates are shown at checkout based on the destination province.

Are Faber-Castell pens a good gift?

The Ambition, Ondoro, and Anello matched sets are particularly popular as gifts — they arrive in branded Faber-Castell packaging and the metal bodies wear in well over time. For higher-budget gifts, the Graf von Faber-Castell Classic and Tamitio lines are the collector tier.
