Review: My new favorite graphite pencil! - I wish I'd found these a few years ago when I first began sketching with artists pencils. They feel as smooth drawing as a brush pen. They sharpen easily to a needle like point if that's what you need. Unlike all the other brands I've used, all of the grades hold a point for a long time. The quality is incredible considering they don't cost any more than no name brands.
Review: Well worth the price. - Perfect for sketching! The pencil quality is amazing and well worth the expense. They sharpen beautifully and are very easy to use. I can’t get better pencils if you ask me. Love the durable tin case that’s included as well.
