Dixon Tri-Conderoga Triangular Black Woodcase

These are honestly the best pencils I have ever used. I special order all of mine because I am picky and the texture and the lead. They wrote smoothly and erase easily. They are shaped like a triangle, which I thought was weird until I tried it. It fits so smoothly between your fingers that it eases the pressure on the inside of your dominant finger that usually causes calluses. The coating on them is so silky that everyone was begging me for them. You do have to use a larger sharpener, but they provide you with a 2in1 sharpener. I am impressed.

I’m a contractor,,, love the way they don’t Roll away!!!

These are and will always be my favorite pencil. Comfort comes above everything for this pencil. A little weird to sharpen at first but everything else is great especially the matte feeling and wider than normal girth.

These pens were purchased for my son who has arthritis. Although he is a senior in high school, he still needs a #2 pencil at times. This pencil is larger and with the triangular shape, his arthritis is not compromised. The outside of the black pencils have a coating that is non-slip which also helps.From the stock photo it was hard to tell is there were actually 6 pencils in the packaging. But there are. I needed to purchase this particular pack because other "tri" pencil sharpeners do not work with Tri-Conderoga pencils. So not only do you get 6 great pencils but you get a very nice sharpener.I have been teaching for 23 years and always have used Ticonderoga products for my students. The lead is smooth, and is also easy to erase than other similar pencils.Also, this pencil is LATEX FREE, which is a plus since it has the coating on it. Plus, the black coating makes it look cool which kids are always looking at.EXCELLENT product and HIGHLY recommend.

Squishy pencil, seemed comfortable for my grandpas old man hands. The sharpener kind of sucked, but it did work.

First of all, these pencils feel amazing. The shape, size, and soft coating make them a dream to hold and draw with. I was looking for some 'traditional' non-mechanical lead pencils for drawing and sketching. Originally I was using the regular black Ticonderoga pencils and that worked perfectly fine but I wanted something a little more....elevated so to speak? So I saw that they came in a triangular shape and thought that'd be perfect! ....and I was kinda right.I like the hardness and darkness of the lead-they feel a little harder than the standard 2B pencils (which is good for me because I tend to get a little heavy handed with softer leads) but still has the darkness of a B lead.THE BIGGEST CON and really the ONLY con in my opinion, is sharpening these pencils. It comes with a sharpener but I tossed it because after two uses, it frustrated me. I have a Faber Castell 3-hole sharpener that these pencils DO fit in but it's still a struggle to get a decent point. I'm guessing that between the triangle shape and the slightly bigger diameter of these pencils makes sharpening them a pain. I found that I have to go really slow and check on the point often to make sure it didn't break. I posted a pic of the best point, give-or-take, that I've been able to get with these pencils. All in all, I'd recommend them, just be sure you have a pencil sharpener with multiple holes to use.

I couldn't be happier with a writing utensil!Sliced bread > bread.Tri-Conderoga > pencil.I have big hands, and Ticonderoga pencils are, in my opinion, the de facto standard of HB2 (#2) pencils. These pencils are my new favorite product innovation. I've never felt like showing friends and family my pencils! They understand too!American cedar. These are manufactured in Mexico, but that's not a concern of mine, as these pencils are expensive enough. I respect foreign labor if they produce quality products, and this product is absolutely world class. Just make sure your sharpener can handle the larger diameter of these pencils.Matte black finish is functional, yet the gold branding is also a perfect match to any style. Awesome design. The eraser being triangular is also an improvement because it allows for more control when erasing straight lines, with its straight edges.

Smooth but grippy. I don't know what they used to paint these pencils with, but it's awesome. Fingers don't slide and the paint doesn't peel.Good size. It's a bit bigger than your regular pencil, and is easy to handle. The triangle shape is rewarding in the hand and encourages long sessions of writing/doodling/sketching.It's larger size does limit your options on sharpening, but it comes with a sharpener. Smells great when you sharpen it - cedar!I even sharpen mine with a pocket knife from time to time and it doesn't break the lead, which is good.If I had one complaint, it'd be that it doesn't come in any other lead hardness. Yet.

These are my favorite pencils. They are comfortable and easy to write with. I prefer a wider grip and this size works well to combat hand fatigue.As a teacher, I give them to students with poor or awkward grip and who press hard when writing. They love them too.

Lead breaks when trying to sharpen, and too much messing around to return them. Not happy at all here with the whole business. You can return them the same way as other UKitems, making this not worth buying from this seller.

Really good pencil but a little hard to sharpen

Best pencil out there! So comfortable and writes well. A bit pricey. But well worth it!

I love these and my kids do as well. Great shape to grip and excellent quality. Only pencils I use in house now.
