Mitsubishi Pencil 9000 HB 1 Dozen K9000HB

This is a fantastic pencil for general use. The graphite doesn't smear as much as other pencils, and if you are left-handed, this is a plus. The graphite also erases well. I've been using a pentel hi-polymer eraser with it.

I REALLY like these pencils. They write very smoothly and are a great price. The fit and finish is excellent and they sharpen very smoothly with a Mitsubishi KH20. This is the third Mitsubishi Pencil I have tried; it competes well against the 9850 and the Hi Uni. I bought these pencils because I wanted an eraserless smoothly capped 9850, keeping the high fit and finish, dark line, and point retention. It performs almost identically to the 9850. I wanted this pencil to be a cheaper Hi Uni B but in HB while not sacrificing much, it has that in spades. One minor knock I do have against this pencil is the wood. The Hi Uni's are top shelf incense cedar (you pay for it), the 9850 is I believe cedar but of a lesser quality, and the 9000 is of a different species entirely. It may be some type of fir. If you want to get the most of these pencils I HIGHLY recommend getting a burr sharpener, as it will sharpen the softer wood much better than a quickly dulled blade sharpener. With my KH20 I don't even notice the lesser wood quality visibly or in use. Get one, do yourself a favor. If you want to know what the hubbub is around premium Japanese drawing/writing pencils - this is a great place to start.

These are different from the standard #2 pencils you used in school. These are extremely smooth when writing on paper. I recommend them strongly if you’re into quality writing implements.

Beautiful and smooth writing

These are decent pencils. Harder edge of the HB range. Good point retention. Doesn't smudge much.

Great writing experience, I am really enjoying using these pencils.

This pencil has a strong incense cedar smell to it which I love. It's very fancy looking and writes like a dream if you have a soft touch. Really a lovely writing instrument.

I bought these because my normal pencils kept breaking. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on the more expensive Mitsubishi pencils (those are like 2.50 each....) so I got these instead. They haven't broken yet after sharpening or writing. They keep a point. They're centered properly. Overall, just a very nice little pencil to use.

とても良い事務用なので買った母は何か子供の使い古しの消しゴムや鉛筆糊等使うが鉛筆小さくなりすぎ鉛筆繋ぐ削りき有るがコツが必要この鉛筆にしてよかった

Very nice pencil. High end.

High quality pencils. Provide a consistently clear line & sharpen well. Recommended.

Gute Zedernholz Bleistifte made in Japan. Weicher als europäische Bleistifte, HB hier entspricht eher einem B oder 2B. Sie riechen ganz gut nach Zedernholz. Es gibt noch Luft nach oben, aber für den Preis OK. Besser (und ein bisschen härter) als die Tombow 8900. Meine Lieblingsform ist die von der Faber-Castell Grip 2001, die gibt es aber leider nicht aus Zedernholz.
