What can be revealed about a person by their choice of… lead? In this gloriously nerdy episode of Field Notes, Michael Stevens arrives armed with a large collection of mechanical pencils, sparking a series of passionate debates about graphite, the merits (and demerits) of ink, and whether the perfect pencil will ever really exist.
