I've seen and used a lot of pencils in my 70 years. These are among the best I've used in the past. They have a nice octagonal barrel that is not overly fat or too thin. That makes them very good for use in the hand while writing. The HB #2 lead is thick enough and just what is needed for good visibility and reading. I also use them for marking wood before making cuts. The erasers also work as I expect they should on a pencil - not too hard or too soft.

Unsharpened pencils but still a great deal. Bought to donate to school.

Definitely have gotten better with quality

One of the best pencil brands at about half the price of office supply stores.

Nothing better than these pencils. They don't wear down near as fast as most pencils. And the lead doesn't seem to break off near as easily as others seem to. Which makes them less expensive in the long run. I also buy these to donate to the school each year and teachers REALLY appreciate these!!

Quality pencils and the only kind I can recommend. I use to wonder why teachers would ask for Ticonderoga by name. Now I know all other pencils are difficult to sharpen and break often interrupting learning. Ticonderoga are worth the extra money to have a quality, stress-free writing instrument.

Great price for these pencils. Only pencils we use in our Kindergarten class and to buy a pack 12 locally is close to $6, so to get this price on a box of 96 is a steal.. And the free shipping to Alaska is great, although I believe they are shipped from here, as our Sam’s Cub building is now a warehouse/distribution center..

I heard good things about these so ordered them when I saw a good deal on the 96 ct.. but the pencils were bad.. almost similar to the cheap store brands.. maybe got a bad box or they were on deal because they were no good.. I would not buy them again..

These pencils are "POOP-WORTHLESS---DO NOT BUY"! Sharpen them, the lead breaks off or isn't there. I was able to use three pencils one time, the rest of the pencil sharpened away with no lead available. Last Ticonderoga pencils I buy from WalMart. Guess my friends in the office were correct, you get what you pay for!!!!! VERY, VERY DISSATISIFIED WITH THIS ORDER!!!!

Pencils are no good, 8 out of 12 in each box rotten or there's no led, kids have to go thru at least 4 pencils in order to get one to write without point breaking, having to throw away pencils for this purpose is a waste, just sharpening them one after the other not being able to use them is ridiculous
