Best pencil out there, hands down
These truly are the best quality pencils out there. As a teacher, I go through pencils quickly. I got very frustrated when my Ticonderogas began splitting and would sharpen unevenly. The company had changed. So I searched for a replacement and found these. They sharpen perfectly every time! Make sure you have a good sharpener. You Don't want to waste any of this pencil to a dull sharpener. They have a great eraser, too. And customer service is superb.
