Writes perfectly. Love these pencils.Best pencils on the market anywhere!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are below average for me. The wood is very splintery and sharpens strangely. The eraser broke off at the metal on first use and I was being gentle. I would not recommend these but maybe I got a sub par batch.

[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.

I have always thought all pencils were the same. After purchasing these I have learned they are not. They sharpen really well. A lot of pencils get widdled down to nothing because you have to sharpen them for so long to achieve a good point. Not these. Just a few turns and they are sharp and pointy. I also like that the erasers don't smudge lead all over the paper. These erase nicely. I highly recommend them. They may be a little higher than some pencils but I think it's money well spent in the long run.

[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!

The quality of these are still good but they don’t seem to be built like the used to. Or at least this version is not built to the standards that I had in prior 10 or 12 pack models. I still think these are better than any other pencil on the market though.

[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.] My kiddos are homeschooled so I could see them using these pencils first hand for awhile and they are truly great writing utensils! The lead doesn't break early and it erases nicely. The only thing I dislike about these pencils are the lead is extremely strong smelling. It gets to the point that my kiddos couldn't use the pencils for a long period of time. Because of the strong smell, I have to give it a 4 star.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just like the package indicates "World's Best Pencil"! Smooth writing experience, comfortable to hold, great eraser- no smudges, sharpens to a beautiful point. Lead does not break easily and is not fractured inside the wood causing pieces to break off.I've been using these for 40 years. Even the kids notice the difference if they get an off brand pencil and ask for Ticonderogas.
