I am a some-of-the-time artist, and a too-much-of-the-time collector and perfectionist when it comes to my supplies. I have owned mechanical pencils with .3, .4, .5, .7, .9, 2, 5.5mm leads; woodcased pencils from 10B to 9H. But, really, pencils for me are for sketching and for Bob Klahn crosswords, and I've come to realize that I just need some good woodcased pencils for freehand sketching and some strong mechanical lead for technical sketching. As far as woodcased pencils are concerned, this is my new favorite. It's not available in any crazy lead hardnesses, and it's not the best, smoothest lead you'll ever find. But the lead is good, very good. It's mostly smooth, with the occasional scratch or feeling of grit. It feels right for a #2, capable of dropping a fairly light line or going into easy-visibility territory - but never black, of course. The real magic of the pencil is in the casing. Unfinished cedar. It's like a warm companion in your hand, when even the nicest shellac leaves you feeling cold. It's a little bit grippy, but still smooth. The feeling is almost that of nice cotton rag paper. Like stroking your lover's neck. It's just a beautiful tactile experience that I've never gotten from lacquered pencils. Then there's the sound of it. Not the lead on the paper, mind you, but that subtle texture as it slides through your hands, the pencil practically sings to you as you write. Of course, there is the smell, which is not the strongest. But it's never harsh like some pencils, and if you enjoy the smell of cedar, well, it is there. All in all, this is a good pencil for the 'laying down graphite on paper' part of writing, and a great pencil for the 'handling a tool' part of writing.

So my son is doing his homework and about every two minutes he stops to sharpen his pencil. . . I'm thinking he is just procrastinating and losing focus so I get on him about it and he shows me that his pencil keeps breaking and the lead just falls out. I tell my wife we need to purchase Dixon pencils because those are the best . . . surprise, surprise all his crappy pencils are Dixons. They just don't make them the same anymore. So I do a little research on what the best pencils are and not to my surprise I find a bunch of posts by school teachers saying they lose so much time because Dixon pencils along with so many other poorly made pencils force the kids to keep sharpening their pencils when the lead falls out frequently. Most of them had similar recommendations so I decided to purchase a few different brands to see which ones worked best for us. And so far we have been really happy with the quality of each of the following types that we tried. -Write Dudes USA Gold Premium Cedar No. 2. (Great all around pencil) -Write Dudes USA SIlver Wooden #2 (Great all around pencil) -Staedtler Rally Graphite #2 (Top notch) -General Pencil Company Cedar Pointe No. 2 Pencil (Very well priced and still great quality) -Paper Mate 12 Count #2 Mirado Black Warrior Lead Pencils, Medium Soft (Great pencils, nice darker color) I'd purchase any of the above again as long as they continue to make them the same way. I found a few other reviews by teachers who recommended others, but those few were in a much higher price range. Keeping it in a realistic price range the above 5 pencils are awesome. They write well and the lead does not break every two minutes. Perfect for keeping kids focused while doing their school work.

I have finally found the perfect priced pencil! The lead is soft and glides on paper nicely, it is easy to sharpen and the lead doesn't break when you sharpen it. On a more aesthetic side, the bare wood is really nice and has a nice smell. On the more practical side, the eraser does not leave the black smudge most pencil erasers leave. It also has a nice grip and for someone who can't use normal pencils because of sweaty finger problems, this is a great pencil!... I would definitely buy again and would recommend to others!

I love pencils, and I really love unfinished wood pencils. It's hard to find quality pencils outside of art shops so I decided to try these pencils because I was interested in (1) high quality #2 pencils and (2) pencils that are made in the USA and specifically not China. I have been disappointed by the variable/low quality of most commercially available pencils, including Dixon Ticonderoga. First off, these are HB #2 pencils, so the lead is hard in comparison to softer lead pencils (like Palomino Blackwings, for example), but all the General pencils I've used thus far have been straight, center lead, ferrule firmly in place, and they sharpen well. At this price, they are "entry level" into the world of fancy pencils, so if you're looking for a step up from what you can buy at Staples, then mission accomplished. While I have lots of other pencils, I really enjoy using these because of the unfinished wood. FYI the New York Times Magazine has a wonderful photo essay of pencils being made in the General Pencil Co factory, which inspired me to buy these instead of Palominos. And while the Blackwing is an impeccable pencil, I really prefer the General Cedar Pointe for its humble charm and high quality. .

My wife is a pencil nut. She was Dixon Ticonderoga all the way but then they stopped using the fragrant cedar. She has a small, diminishing stockpile of the old pencils but wanted some new ones. These are great. They sharpen well, feel nice in the hand, write beautifully without smudges, sound nice on paper, erase well, and most importantly, smell like cedar. Balance restored. Sorry Dixon. You messed up.
