TiconderogaMy First Tri-Write Wood-Cased Pencils, Unsharpened, 2 HB Soft, With Erasers, Yellow, 36 Count

Goofy, but nice for workshop, marking rough surfaces, and unlike a traditional flat carpenters pencil, it's able to write a detailed note. Bonus, there are a lot of them allowing me to leave them in many places, cutting down on the time spent walking around looking for a pencil! Feels nice in my paw as well.

Top quality pencil. These may be advertised for children but they are great for building work. Who ever thought rectangular pencils were the best for calenders neverctryed these

Yes! Perfect for my students and holding up great.

TL;DR If you want a crank style desk/wall mount sharpener, buy the Bostitch MPS1-BLK - DO NOT BUY the X-acto KS.I decided to switch to these "My first tri-write" pencils in my shop, instead of the mixture of standard #2's, and carpenters pencils I use now. The problem is that my X-acto KS wouldn't sharpen these pencils. the hole was large enough, but it would stop sharpening the pencil before it got to the lead, leaving sharpened wood, and no lead sticking out, let alone sharpened.I of course searched the reviews and questions here on amazon, and found people asking about sharpeners, but the answers, as are typical for amazon answering system were maddeningly useless, full of gems like "just use any sharpener", "get one at the dollar store", or "I use a 60 year old sharpener". I wish I could ask those people how on earth they thought those responses were helpful to anybody. I had to ask and delete my own very specific question several times when people would inevitably give useless responses, but eventually some kind soul actually answered the question I asked. So, thank you dear "Bruno H." for being the only person on amazon capable of answering a question with a useful and functional response, and of course for suggesting the Bostitch MPS1-BLK sharpener. Another person answered my question stating that the X-Acto KS works, but I can say with 100% confidence my MY X-acto KS would not sharpen these pencils, as evidenced in the photos I've attached. My X-Acto KS sharpener is about 3 years old, so maybe they've changed the barrel without changing the model number? Or maybe that was just yet another useless answer from amazons most valuable helpers.I've attached 3 photos to my review:1 - The successfully sharpened pencil with the Bostitch MPS1-BLK2 - The failed sharpening from the x-acto KS3 - 3 pencils side by side, with the x-acto sharpened pencil on top, and two pencils from the bostitch below. As you can see the bostitch has a fair amount of slop resulting in uneven sharpening. This isn't ideal, but whatever, it works and it was only 10 bucks.

I got tired of kids snapping my classroom pencils, especially since I insist on Ticonderoga brand pencils (and thus buy them myself), so I got these. They are AMAZING! They hold a point, erase clean, and my hands don’t cramp when I do a lot of writing with them. The students were initially upset that I was providing “baby pencils,” but I told them why I think these are the best pencils ever, and now they’ll even ask for my big/fat pencils if their supply basket only has regular “skinny” pencils. They also disappear from the supply baskets on a fairly regular basis. Everyone at school knows that I prefer these, so when they start showing up in the older grades’ classrooms, the students sometimes report their peers and I get my pencil back. As it is, I keep these on a Subscribe & Save order to restock my troop throughout the year.

I enjoy the bundle and pricing was great. Delivered on time. Only thing that lacked was how a pencil or 2 were missing in the boxes, but I errors happen. Overall great value.

Ticonderoga always produces top notch pencils. These big pencils are great for children who have a difficult time holding pencils.
