Ticonderoga Wood-Cased Pencils, #2 HB Soft, Black, 12 Count

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!

Easy to sharpen, clean accurate lines and cleans up easy. What more do you need. They do taste like crap though.

My son loves these pencils because they don’t break easily. To expensive usually, til I found them here.

Only the best pencils they make!

I have used these pencils for years. The easily erase mistakes and are a good value.

These pencils have been great for everyday writing, quick notes, and homework. The graphite feels smooth on paper and produces a clear, consistent line without requiring much pressure. They sharpen easily, and I haven't had many problems with the lead breaking inside, which happened frequently with my previous pencils. I also like the comfortable shape because it makes longer writing sessions easier on my hand. The erasers remove most marks cleanly without tearing the paper. My only complaint is that a couple of pencils arrived with slightly damaged erasers, and the paint can chip after sharpening. Overall, they're reliable, practical, and good for daily use.

These are the best pencils

My shop needed decent pencils for customers filling out repair forms at the counter. I grabbed this 12 pack so we stop losing my nicer pens. The #2 lead writes smoothly on greasy invoices, and the black barrel looks cleaner on the desk at the end of a long Saturday. i just toss them in a cup and they work.

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!
