Are these pencils non-toxic?

From Amazon description: Product description Conte pastel pencil set is ideally designed for all kinds of pastel drawings. Non-toxic pencil features wood encased lead and is sold as 12 per set in assorted colors.

would these contain the cancer warning that other pastel pencils do?

Yes this brand of pastel pencils has the warning. The box of 48 is also not in a tin but a cardboard box. Faber Castell Pitt pastel pencils do not have a warning. But the pastel of the pencil is harder and comes in up to 60 Pencils per "tin"

How do I sharpen these?

You can use pastel sharpeners Eg. Derwent pastel sharpeners

How would you compare these to Kohi Noor Gioconda pastel pencils?

Well, I have not tried the Kohi Noor Gioconda ones but I have used the Faber-Castell 60 count. I do prefer the Faber-Castell ones over these though. These one are very thick pastel and wood so it makes it a little awkward the work with. They are more for big areas of color or shading while other sets can be sharpened to a point and used more precisely. Also it is impossible to sharpen them with a regular sharpener because they are so thick. So if you do get them, look into buying whatever sharpener they recommend or I guess you could just use a knife. Overall, they are great for blending/shading but they do not include too many colors so keep that in mind. I do like them for their purpose so I would get these along with the thinner pastels like the Kohi Noor Gioconda of the Faber-Castell 60 count. Hope this helps! :)
