Wood-Cased Pencils, #2 HB Soft, Black, 12 Count | Ideal for writing, drawing, schoolwork, classrooms and office use

I got these because I wanted to test them against some of the more expensive pencils I have.I am pleasantly surprised by these.Not only do they write pretty smooth, but they are closer to the darkness of a Japanese HB, which is nice.The lines are darker (and less metallic) than Staedtler Norica pencils and so much less scratchy then them as well.I still cannot get over how smooth they are, considering how cheap they are.I remember Ticonderoga's from when I was in school being scratchy and always having a random piece of grit in the lead which scratched paper, but these so far haven't done that.The eraser sucks, but it does mostly erase the marks.The pencil diameter is ever so slightly thinner than other pencils.The foam grips I use which usually have some resistance, slide easily onto these pencils, but once in place, while writing the grip stays in place.Out of the 12 pencils in the box about 8 had passably centered leads.3 were noticeably off center but still sharpenable.One was too far off center to be sharpened in a sharpener, but was sharpenable with a knife.The pencils are hard on my little manual sharpeners.I am not sure what wood is used in these but the wood has a slight reddish tint to them and don't smell like anything when sharpened.The wood seems harder than cedar.All in all they are pretty decent pencils, especially for their price!

I use these pencils for drawing. The value you get is worth the price, and they are really smooth to sharpen. Probably one of my favorite on brand pencils, and the black ones are just really clean espeically if you’ve got a lot of black pens.

Really nice pencils. Sharpen nicely and write very well.

These are beautiful pencils. I would HIGHLY recommend a nice quality sharpener because they work exceptionally well when sharpened with a nice sharpener versus a not-nice sharpener.Work great for fine-point drawing as well as shading by using the side of the pencil.Love these for drawing out the sketch before ink. Erases quite clean, even after numerous pencils lines and attempts at an especially vexing drawing.Great value for the number of pencils you get. They do NOT arrive sharpened so please, grab yourself a nice sharpener as well. You'll be glad you did.

these are great pencils ✏️ that's all i need to say 😁

I intentionally sought out these pencils because I had a few at home that were easy to write with, were dark enough on paper making it easy to see what I’ve written, and soft enough to make shading easy when doing sketches. The only downside to having pencils with a soft lead is that the lead tends to break easily in the pencil sharpener. A little annoying, but a small price to pay.

Nice durable pencils, write well and great color.

Teacher recommended- best pencils! Ready for back to school.

Excellent product and wrll delivered

These pencils are amazing! The best production line pencil there is (in my opinion) they sharpen well, strong tip, dark writing. They do erase well also. Also, very classy in a professional setting. Highly recommend

Having seen some poor reviews I was prepared to be disappointed with the black pencils but they are not too bad. I have used the yellow ones for drawing and find them quite good and feel quite nice and the yellow are made from cedar. The black ones, however, are not made from cedar and the finish is not quite as good but for drawing they are still OK. I would not swap a yellow (made in Mexico from cedar) for a black (made in China from ?) But hey use what you have and close your eyes!
