[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pencils are great and I love the fact that they come sharpened. They feel like a better quality compared to other brands that I have used. They are easy to sharpen and you don't have to struggle to get a good point without breaking off the lead.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pencils are pre-sharpened, they look like a standard pencil. They write nicely, and it gives off a nice black color. They are fairly comfortable to hold in hand, and seem to last a long time after many times of being sharpened. The only downside is the strange smell they had, it was a really weird smell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never put much thought into the quality of a pencil until I started using Ticonderoga. Suddenly, I'm comparing every pencil in my arsenal - which, as a teacher, is a pretty big thing. These pencils come pre-sharpened, which is always a plus in my book. They're also very comfortable to hold, the graphite writes smoothly and the pencil erases all errors easily. Even my son has started looking to make sure he picks up the Ticonderoga pencils for his writing assignments. We are not very brand-loyal in this household, but I have definitely given exception for these pencils. They truly do make a difference.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I already use this brand of pencils they are great and sturdy and the eraser is good not like other flimsy erasers, I really liked that they came already sharpened saved me the hassle of sharpening them myself and my son can use these for school supplies.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With two kids in school, we use a lot of pencils in our house. These Ticonderoga #2 Sharpened 12 Count American Wood Pencils are a great choice for your student. They come pre-sharpened and last a long time. The erasers on the end are strong and don't snap off like a lot of other types. The pencil is perfect for doing homework and taking tests at school. I always keep some of these around the house. Great value as well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the 12-ct. TICONDEROGA #2 Sharpened pencils from TryIt Sampling. I love these pencils. They come presharpened. They write well and last a while. They are just the right fit in my hand. They sharpen well when they need to be sharpened.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter was so excited when I handed a box of these pencils to her (the joys of being a 7 year old, haha). She absolutely loved that they were pre-sharpened! She said that they write very smooth and the eraser didn't leave streaks like some of her other pencils. She is really enjoying these pencils and I think they are her favorite so far! I can also vouch for the smoothness of these pencils. I wanted to test them out myself as well, and I honestly enjoyed the way they wrote and enjoyed the eraser on them as well. All in all, happy with this little pack of pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are labeled as the worlds best pencils and I can see why! These have a distinct smell that I actually really like! They write very nicely and the earasers work well. They are easy to sharpen and don’t seem to break very easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids(ages 16,12, and 10) all preferred mechanical pencils. Why? They said that the regular wood pencils they were used too would break or the the lead would fall out after sharpening. Well I was tired of having to buy the lead for the mechanical pencils so I decided to try these. Great right out of the box! Love that they all come pre-sharpened. Makes things so much easier. My kids and and all took a pencil. I used it all day at work, and they used it all day at school. All of us had no issues sharpening or writing with them. Truly very well made pencils.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are top notch! They stay sharp and are easy to resharpen. The wood doesn't chip and flake and the lead doesn't fall out like cheap pencils. The erasers keep the paper clean, they are perfect for my kids for school!
