Review: Very Decent Pencils - 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! Review: Perfect Pencils as Always - 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. ## Features - EXCLUSIVE #2 GRAPHITE FORMULA: Proprietary graphite formula mined from carefully controlled sources provides extra smooth performance; thick graphite core delivers broad consistent lines - PREMIUM WOOD: Harvested from responsibly managed forests, these pencils provide smooth, even sharpening with minimal breakage; Number 2 pencils are black lacquered for a coated matte finish - LATEX-FREE ERASER: Superior, latex-free eraser removes marks completely without smudging and is securely glued in the signature green & gold ferrules - SAFE FOR KIDS: PMA certified non-toxic so you have the assurance you need to focus on the task at hand - TRUSTED BRAND: Ticonderoga is part of the Dixon Ticonderoga family of products which includes Prang, Dixon, Pacon, Tru-Ray, UCreate, Fadeless, Classroom Keepers, Bordette, Creativity Street, Spectra, Strathmore, Canson, Daler-Rowney, Lyra, Das, Maimeri, Princeton Artist Brush, and more ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004X4KRPM | | Additional Features | Non-Toxic | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #650 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #11 in Woodcase Lead Pencils | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Ticonderoga | | Brand Name | Ticonderoga | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 13,027 Reviews | | Drill Point | Fine | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00072067139269 | | Grip Type | Hexagonal | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | HB | | Included Components | Ticonderoga | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Dimensions | 7.8 x 2.4 x 1.1 inches | | Item Type Name | Ticonderoga | | Item Weight | 4.8 ounces | | Line Size | 2mm_and_above | | Manufacturer | Dixon Ticonderoga | | Material | Premium wood | | Material Type | Premium wood | | Model Name | Ticonderoga | | Model Number | 13926 | | Pattern | Solid | | Recommended Uses For Product | Writing | | Style | Pencils | | UPC | 799916418602 370377734533 072067139269 | | Unit Count | 24 Count | | Warranty Description | NO WARRANTY | | Writing Instrument Form | Graphite Pencil | | Writing Technique | pencil lead | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ticonderoga - **Writing Instrument Form:** Graphite Pencil - **Color:** Black - **Ink Color:** Black - **Age Range (Description):** Adult ## Images ![Wood-Cased Pencils, 2 HB Soft, Black, 24 Count - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cuNkD3jYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Decent Pencils *by A***R on March 15, 2026* I got these because I wanted to test them against some of the more expensive pencils I have.
