## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does uni compare to Blackwing's?**
A: The "real" Blackwing was discontinued 20 years ago so the question is a little like, how does this souffle compare with one made by Escoffier? You can't get an Eberhard Blackwing anymore so the question is really moot. Mitsubishi Hi-Uni is probably better, since is it is the best in the world, but I've never used a real Blackwing so I can't say for sure.If you mean the "Blackwing" made by Palomino this is much better. Palomino was never a top-tier pencil maker. If someone like Faber Castell or Caran d'Ache had re-made the Blackwing, there might be some comparison, but the ones made today have the name and the funky eraser (and a whole lot of chutzpah) and nothing else. BUT the Blackwing was not an HB pencil. It was a 2B pencil, two grades softer and darker than HB (aka "#2"). So if you are looking for a "half the pressure twice the speed" pencil you should buy the Mitsubishi Hi Uni B or 2B.

**Q: Do these come pre-sharpened?**
A: They do not come pre-sharpened.

**Q: is there a "made in Japan" somewhere on the pencil or box? I know the name sounds Japanese, but so do the Chinese ; ) (thank you!)**
A: The box and pencils have "Japan" stamped into them unlike some other Mitsubishi pencils.

**Q: Do these work on #2 Pencil scantrons?**
A: Although (full disclosure) I haven't tried them with a scantron, the "HB" grade of these pencils is considered generally equivalent to "#2". There is no actual consistent third party standard (one maker's #2 doesn't need to perfectly match another #2) so using these is no riskier than using any other #2 pencil you haven't specifically tested. Note, however, that these don't have eraser tips; you'd want an eraser, too, in case you change your mind or mark the wrong bubble! Since just taking a scantron test is such light, simple usage, I'd consider using something cheaper with an attached eraser if you're just buying for test-taking.

    Superb Pencils in the top 3 available to buy world wide.
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 September 2018*

Superb pencils. The graphite is a nice soft grey when transferring onto paper. As i said earlier these are superb but not my favourite this is my swiss pencil the Rolls Royce of pencils at £4.50 each they are a luxury.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Just as expected
  

*by S***I on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 April 2018*

As in the case of other Mitsubishi Uni pencils, this Hi-Uni pencil is a quality product. Without exaggerating, I have hundreds of pencils manufactured by different companies, and I noticed that some HB pencils are closer to H, and occasionally more like 2H or B. I find Mitsubishi Uni pencils particularly reliable. (Personally, I find the appearance of Hi-Uni with this maroon colour sophisticated too.) This product is probably what you would expect from a good-quality HB pencil. (I may be biased in favour of Uni pencils as they were my mother's favourite too !)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great pencils
  

*by A***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2016*

Amazing pencils. By far my favourite I have used. Took a while to arrive, but they did come from Japan after all. Probably not as great as the 'legendary' Blackwing 602 pencils. However, they are twice the price and I'd rather have pencils without the eraser attachment. I'm not an artist or anything so I'm not expert in pencil gradients. I use them for writing more than anything. I really like the design too.
