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.

Best wooden pencil at a reasonable price.

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

Definitely have gotten better with quality

Nice box

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.

Teachers are asking for this specific brand of pencils at our school. I hope its because they will last all year! Only complaint i have is why are the presharpend ones more expensive?? Technically I'm getting less pencil...so shouldn't that qualify for a price decrease?? Anyways, this is the best price you will find these for.

I usually buy this brand of pencil because they are good quality. This year is the first time I ordered them from Sam's, and they're terrible. The point keeps breaking, and then when I go to sharpen it, it just breaks over and over again. Ugh! Do Not Buy!

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!!!!
