An eighteen-piece set built around a very wide grade range, 5H to 14B, with the two erasers that a graphite drawing actually needs: a vinyl eraser to lift cleanly back to white, and a kneaded eraser that can be shaped to a point and dabbed to lighten a tone without removing it.

Care & Use
Knead the putty eraser before use to warm it and expose a clean face; a cold, dirty kneaded eraser smears rather than lifts. The very soft grades beyond 8B are closer to charcoal in behaviour — they mark heavily and need fixing before the drawing is stored.
