Ticonderoga Noir

These are my favorite pencils. I like that they are already sharpened and the point lasts for awhile. They sharpen well without peeling or snapping. They write smoothly with a light pressure, and have a dark line that doesn't smudge or fade out but is also easy to erase as necessary. I use them for taking notes at home and at work - they write precisely enough that the quality of the writing looks good even when copied or scanned. The design is appealing to my teenage son. My son uses them for homework as well as doodling and sketching (he's an art major.) The high quality of the graphite is good even for drawing since he can easily apply different shading without using a lot of extra pressure or breaking the point. These are a little pricey but I've found that it is worth the extra money since most other pencils just end up in the trash. Always reliable and a favorite brand.

My first grade students love them!

These are my favorite pencils to use for sketching and drawing. The classic Ticonderoga #2 smooth graphite and excellent eraser but with a little flash befitting a bauble loving mermaid.

I cannot stand the newer plastic covered printed pencils. These are the pencils I remember from my childhood. Easy to sharpen. Write dark. Erasers are solid too. The holographic are really cool. If you need number 2 original type pencils for your kids, nothing compares!

THIS IS S FRIVOLITY! THESE PENCILS ARE AWESOME. I USE THE REGULAR TICONDEROGA #2 BLACK PENCILS ALL THE TIME. THIS TIME I PAMPERED MYSELF WITH THESE TICONDEROGA FANCY #2 PENCILS.

The Ticonderoga Noir pencils are both functional and stylish. The holographic design makes them easy to identify in a classroom full of standard yellow pencils, which was a huge plus for me as a teacher. The lead is soft and produces a smooth, dark line. While they may need sharpening more frequently during heavy use, the writing quality makes up for it. Ticonderoga continues to be my go-to brand for durability and performance.

I ordered 6 packs and one pack of pencils came defective, the holographic color was missing and looked like it peeled off.

Super pretty, write, sharpen, and erase well! My niece loves them for school! They all arrived sharpened and none were broken. Definitely a great alternative to the average boring pencils everyone else uses.

A parte del tiempo que ha tardado en llegar, el paquete ha llegado destruido.

Very disappointed. Shipping package was OK, but box inside torn & some pencils missing. This was obviously damaged when packed. For a refund Amazon want me to pay shipping to USA. My faith in Amazon has been severely diminished when goods are knowingly shipped damaged and short. It was supposed to be a gift.

These are the best pencils. They’re so cute and everyone stares at them when I use them because they’re slick af for a pencil. I’ve bought 3 or 4 boxes now and will probably buy more. Ticonderoga should make a gold pack too.

Great pencils, lovely design. I noted someone said that there was damage to the holo wrapping. I have seen a tiny bit of this but not on all and not much. They are lovely to write with.

I feel like I'm in elementary school again when writing with these pencils, and I mean that in the best possible way. These pencils look so cool with their holographic body and black wood core. The finish is great. Neither it nor the black from the wood rub off on fingers. These pencils sharpen great and hold a point very well. The lead is strong, and it is nice and smooth to write with. It doesn't smudge either, even if you're a lefty. I'm usually a mechanical pencil kind of a girl, but I love writing with these holographic pencils. Now I just need to find my old Lisa Frank notebooks...
