Pros & Cons

Pros

They are soooo smooth. If you happen to have a nice art store that carries these its better buying of each and then it makes more sence. My intention is to use these with my son who is a middle schooler.

They are soft, so you'll sharpen them often, which means they get used up faster than your average yellow no. Pencil. The new pentel 1. Coordinating sharpener is sold separately.

These are great pencils, very smooth and the graphite looks so nice on the paper. It is capable of dark strokes around b softness with moderate pressure. After using my first triangular shaped pencils they are superb in use and delightfully comfortabl...  Read More

They show up at exactly the boldness you want them to in pencil drawings. They are fine for writing. Great for crossword puzzles.

Quality


But i am not unhappy with the purchase


They will last a long time if used occasionally and they are truly a well designed product


The quality of the pencil is great writes light enough if you don’t put much pressure on it and is as bold as probably a 2b or ...  Read More


I sharpened all the pencils with the blackwing sharpener which gives a nice long and strong point

Price


Dont be put off by the price


I know blackwings are supposed to be hot stuff but the price is just nuts

Shipping


Shipping was faster than the original estimate

Packaging/appearance


Believe me i put in the time

Competitiveness


I paired them with staedtler mars erasers and was quite content for a couple years


Or you can buy a 10pack of yellow pencils for 1 like most people do and be angry at your pencils for the next 10 years

    The downsides as others may have mentioned are the erasers arent very good which is disappointing given the price point


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They kind of work but not that well leaves a smudgy gray residue


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So i just use a separate eraser


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If youre reading here youve probably read other reviews and know the history


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Most drawing pencils are smaller and dont include an eraser


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    While i enjoy writing with them on occasion i find the lead to be too soft for regular use as i would need to sharpen it rather often to retain the sharp point i prefer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However these pencils are very attractive and definitely cause others to wonder what you are writing with

    If you appreciate fine writing instruments and are willing to spend the money try a box
