Ticonderoga Pencils, HB (#2), Black Lead, Yellow Barrel, 48/Pack

These are not the same Ticonderoga pencils I used when I was a kid. They used to be a high-quality pencil. I hadn't used the brand in years and I was looking forward to using them again. They do not sharpen well, the lead breaks and the wood is rough--like feels like you might get a splinter rough. My daughter writes A LOT so I asked her opinion as well and the verdict was the same. I wish the quality was the same as it used to be! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I was so excited to try these pencils. These are always in my kids list for their necessary school supplies and I always wondered why. Now I know after buying them and using them with my children. They write so smoothly and such a dark color lead. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I got this a month or so ago, this is my first time using this brand and let me tell you it is the best. Sharpens perfectly, writes perfectly and last longer than I expect, I wish I knew before would have changed long time ago. My son is prek is using these and it is great.

These pencils write so smooth and are very sturdy. My kids use them all the time for homework and they seem to withstand the 8yr old not breaking them when he uses them. Will buy again and recommend them. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I never put much thought into the quality of a pencil until I started using Ticonderoga. Suddenly, I'm comparing every pencil in my arsenal - which, as a teacher, is a pretty big thing. These pencils come pre-sharpened, which is always a plus in my book. They're also very comfortable to hold, the graphite writes smoothly and the pencil erases all errors easily. Even my son has started looking to make sure he picks up the Ticonderoga pencils for his writing assignments. We are not very brand-loyal in this household, but I have definitely given exception for these pencils. They truly do make a difference. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I received my pencils a couple of weeks ago and I've been using them as well as my children. They already came sharpened in our easy to use very sturdy. Classic but not so classic perfect for school work or even drawing I would recommend this to family friends and anyone else. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

The TIC #2 SHARPENED 12CT BX AMERICAN WOOD LOGO are the same great pencils I grew up on as a kid and used in school. They are still the best around. They are still the great quality you expect and sharpen to a nice point everytime. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I was recently given the opportunity to try Ticonderoga #2 Sharpened Pencils. These are great pencils! The best thing is that they come pre sharpened! Also, the lead doesn't keep breaking off every time you sharpen them. They are strong and write nicely! These are my go to pencils. I buy them often and will continue to!

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.

These pencils are great to send to school with your child/children I really like the fact that they come pre sharpened so no searching for a pencil sharpener just to use the pencils. I like that there’s always a sharpened pencil close by [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

My daughter had to have this brand of pencils when she was in kindergarten and I liked them at the time and i love them more now. She's in the 4th grade now and i gave her these pencils to try and she loved them too. These were very sturdy and they sharpened the way they are supposed to and that was a good thing!! I'm tired of other brands of pencils sharpening correctly on one side only, and these didn't do that so I'll stick with this brand. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Very good solid pencil, it can survive the grip of a ambitious6 year old, so that says a lot! I absolutely love the pre-sharpened pencils, I am so excited to just buy those and not have to sharpen pencils for school supplies ever again! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I really like that they were already sharpened although some of hem broke. They write and glide across the paper nicely. They're #2 so they can be used in school which is awesome. They are a comfortable size and nice and easy to hold. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

These are great quality pencils. So much better than the generic brand we have been using. They sharpen so much easier and break way less. I will definitely be purchasing these again and recommending these to friends and family. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

With two kids in school, we use a lot of pencils in our house. These Ticonderoga #2 Sharpened 12 Count American Wood Pencils are a great choice for your student. They come pre-sharpened and last a long time. The erasers on the end are strong and don't snap off like a lot of other types. The pencil is perfect for doing homework and taking tests at school. I always keep some of these around the house. Great value as well! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I tried out these Ticonderoga pre-sharpened pencils and was so pleased with them! They have good quality graphite lead in them that writes with a bold line. They also have a soft pink eraser on top that erases completely and is the type preferred for school. I loved that the pencils, which are made with 100% American cedar wood, were easy to sharpen. The pencils were comfortable to hold and write with. Another bonus is that the wood for these pencils comes from sustainable forest management, meaning the 100+ year old company is working to help the environment. Definitely a product and a company I can stand behind. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

With three young kids, we go through a lot of pencils. These pencils were very easy to sharpen and they didn't split or break while sharpening. They also write very smoothly and neatly. The eraser on the end erases the mistakes nicely as well. No complaints, just an all around good pencil. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
