I found the pencils to be very smooth. The erasers were definitely effective, and there was no smudging. We are generally happy with the product.

Love these pencils. They were so much cheaper unsharpened and so easy to sharpen at home and send to school.

I get these every year for my kids for school. They last very long just need to get my kids to save some of the eraser

Hubby spent 15 minutes looking for the right pencil- evidently the letters HB after the number (2) made all the difference.

Good grip for new learners .The led when writing is soft and very pigmented to the paper with no force

What can I say thanks with a pencil. These were recommended by the school that my granddaughter goes to. I don't know what difference it makes but anyway I got them for her for school.

These are the pencils, like look no further because these are it , they also come bigger thicker and colored they have so many options , these pencils last my kids all year I literally have some still.

Long lasting pencils. pencils sharpen better than others and last much longer. This is all we use. Highly recommend, especially for elemand middle school children.

I distain mechanical pencils. I am not keen on hearing a continuous pencil sharpener, but the Ticonderoga pencils are the best I have ever found - that coming from a teacher of over 20 years.

These are easy to use and do not break easily after being sharpened.
