TiconderogaWood-Cased Pencils, 2 HB Soft, Black, 24 Count

For those who need to know, and can't find a user manual, Dixon Ticonderogas are usually used by applying the sharp (black) end of the wooden stick to a piece of paper, in a manner or style that indicates the thoughts that you wish to impart to the person (or yourself) who sees the marks you made on said paper. One nice thing is that the marks will last forever, unless there is a heavy wind, rain, high humidity, or lots of direct sunlight.It's important to note that the paper can be any color, except black or dark gray, in which case the result may not be visually perceptible.Additionally, the soft end of the stick is meant for deleting unintended results, unless you DID use dark paper, in which case, I'd recommend not using the soft end (the deleter) at all, in order to save it for future deletions. Instead, invest in a lighter-colored piece of paper and start the whole darn process over. Lighter color paper is sold on Amazon and other fine online retailers if you can't find any in your municipality.Dixon Ticonderogas are known to work on cardboard, softwoods, rough metals, and animal claws. They may not work on some plastics, whalebone, circus peanuts, or fish eggs. Never use Dixon Ticonderogas while driving a car or golfing. Likewise, using Dixon Ticonderogas under the influence of alcohol may result in serious misspelling, dyslexia, or poking of the hand, wrist, or nose. Please consult an attorney first, if you intend to use Dixon Ticonderogas in the state of California.

These pencils are excellent—smooth, reliable, and comfortable to write with. The lead is just the right balance of strong and dark, so it doesn’t break easily but still writes clearly. They sharpen well without splintering, and the erasers actually work without smudging or tearing the paper.Whether for writing, sketching, or schoolwork, these pencils are a solid choice. Great quality all around!

Ticonderoga pencils are always what’s listed as the preferred brand on our school supply lists—and for good reason. They write smoothly, sharpen easily, and hold up better than most other brands.This pack was a great price, especially considering the quality. Stocked up for the school year and couldn’t be happier!

I've been familiar with this brand of pencils for years. This is the only one I buy. I love how the wood doesn't chip, and the tips don't break while you're writing. You can also use them for shading art. In my opinion this brand is worth every cent.

Excellent product. Very satisfied. Great pencils.

Great pencils, poor packaging.

Love these in the classroom!!! They sharpen perfectly and erase wonderfully!

They are smooth and write so well. I find them superior to the yellow #2 pencils
