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

Highlights
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

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

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
