Review: Good Pencil, going first-class doesn't cost much more - Nice smooth lead, no scratchiness, and very consistent. The real wood is top notch for a pencil and combined with the round profile it leaves them a little stiffer than the average hex-sided ones, so they flex less and won't crack the lead in the shaft long before you get to it. The black is also very macho. This is not a sissy pencil, with sparkles or flowers or bunnies on it. It's a real writing tool that wears its name proudly. (It does roll off your desk pretty easily though. Not such a tough actor when it comes to fighting gravity on a sloped surface.) It's about as good as a plain wooden pencil gets, at least in the "normal person" world. It's not a collectors item, and not an aficionado's pencil made in some monastery in Japan using wood from hand-raised 1000 year-old cedars grown only on the eastern slope of some mountain. It's just a good honest pencil that doesn't cut any corners, and delivers what a pencil should. If you like good tools, this is a good pencil for you. If to you a pencil is a pencil is a pencil, then go to the back-to-school sales and buy a gross of those compressed paper and sawdust yellow ones for buck. They'll sharpen funny and off-center, break a lot, get hard-scratchy spots in the lead that make it feel like you're writing with sand, have lead which cracks and falls out as fast you can sharpen them, and have erasers which smudge more than erase, but that won't bother you. They'll be cheap, and you'll be happy. If you are however even a little persnickety, and those things I listed bother you, even a little bit, buy these. Life is short. Splurge a little. Get yourself a nice pencil. They write nicely, they erase cleanly, and they don't break or flex too easily. What's not to like (other than that rolling away from you thing)? Review: work pencils - Love these pencils! Can only find them on desertcart. They write well and they are so strong when sharpened. Fits well in my hand. I love them.

People who took pride in their craft started pencil companies and created a reputation based on their choice of these components, and their execution of certain other quality characteristics like centering the lead so sharpening is symmetrical, etc. Unfortunately some of these companies have been sold to corporations who reduce the quality of I all but keep the price up. For a period they show much improved profits and often sell he purchased company for more than they paid based on this artificial profitability which eventually diminishes as users of the product catch on that there favorite product is no longer what it use to be. With pencils companies, like Papermate, so it seems, have done just that. The lead is poor quality and inconsistent, the wood is thinner and no longer good quality cedar, the brass holding he eraser is no longer brass, and the eraser is also of poorer quality. Since these are only pencils, the bean counters at corporate I guess think they can pull it off. For some of us who enjoy using a good pencil, we notice. At least there are forums such as this where we can voice our discontent. **Q: is this a pack of pencil or just one** A: It's a pack of 12. **Q: Do these come pre sharpened ?** A: Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't, but don't let that stop you from buying a Paper Mate product. It's a good pedigree and even if you buy pre-sharpened pencils you'll have to keep on sharpening them as needed. Just get a good sharpener. Good luck! **Q: I'm a beginning writer and are these worth trying for my new series** A: If you can, try to find some older USA made ones. The cedar wood was fantastic and the graphite was buttery smooth. I could write for an entire day with no problems. When they moved production to Mexico it just wasn't the same. Eventually you might want to try out Blackwing Pencils, but those are expensive. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Pencil, going first-class doesn't cost much more *by R***R on November 4, 2015* Nice smooth lead, no scratchiness, and very consistent.

They write well and they are so strong when sharpened. Fits well in my hand. I love them. Weird to like a pencil this much!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Pencils *by K***. on November 23, 2014* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Paper Mate Mirado Black Warrior Pencils, Black, HB #2, 12 Count - STAEDTLER pencil sharpener, premium quality sharpener with screw-on lid, prevents accidental openings, compact size for pencil case and work-station, 511 63BK (Pack of 1) , Assorted colors. - Ticonderoga Wood-Cased Pencils, Pre-Sharpened, 2 HB Soft, Black, 10 Count --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/4080117-mirado-black-warrior-pencils-black-hb-2-12-count](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/4080117-mirado-black-warrior-pencils-black-hb-2-12-count) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
