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

Ticonderoga pencils are my favorite pencils ever! I love that they come in black which ups the fun and chic factor for me. These sharpen very well and I am never let down by the erasers. If you are a pencil chewer while you work these hold up nicely!!! Can even identify if they are Jon Voights teeth marks for all my fellow Seinfeld fans! Will always be a purchaser of these since I prefer pencil to pen most of the time!

This is my favorite pencil. I ordered a bigger package from someone else and every time I tried to sharpen a pencil the les would fall out. These are WONDERFUL they sharpen so nicely. I will definitely be ordering more pencils from this seller

Great brand!

These are my all time favorite wood pencils. The erasers and soft wood are the most consistently solid quality, readily available pencils out there. These were well worth the $6

Loved these pencils for their smoothness and dark saturated lead, so ordered more recently. However, these pencils are nothing like the previous batch - not smooth and lead is hard and very light colored on paper. Can’t help but think these are knockoffs as the old (good) version (bottom picture) had registered trademark stamped on them and the new ones (top) don’t. Won’t buy these again - cheap and nothing special about them.

There are ok. Rubber is very clean. Could be more durable though. Points break often. It gets the job done.

Great pencils! The product page for these pencils state: "The World's Best Pencil with an exclusive #2 HB graphite core formula provides extra smooth performance." They have this totally awesome black coating on them, which make the pencil comfortable to hold, and provides gripping on it, so it doesn't roll or slip when you are writing. Something I really like about these pencils is that they are made from reforested quality cedar wood, and the erasers are latex free. No wonder they are so great! The graphite in these pencils is nice and soft, for a smooth writing experience. As stated before, they are #2, so these pencils can be used at home and on all those standardized tests. They are easy to sharpen and don't break off 50 times before you can use them after sharpening (I find that in some cheaper pencils, the lead breaks alot when sharpening - I end up losing half the pencil by the time I can actually use it and I waste a bunch of time getting frustrated with the pencil breaks/sharpening sessions when trying to write something.... can't afford that time waste during a timed test!). These pencils are made by the Dixon Ticonderoga Company, which has been around since the 1700's... it is obvious, with hundreds of years of practice, they know what they are doing! I definitely recommend these pencils to anyone who uses pencils and wants a great experience!.

Giving 5 stars because Ticonderoga are the best pencils ever! As a teacher they are highly recommended. Great quality pencils, durable lead, and fantastic erasers! These pencils are built to last and the black color makes them very stylish. Will buy again!
