I never write reviews, but I feel this needs attention. I am an art teacher and sharpen a lot of pencils. About 1 out of 5 Dixon brand pencils sharpen correctly. The rest sharpen just half the tip and most of the time the lead falls out. I am very disappointed because I have a tub of Dixon pencils that I cannot use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are perfect for my kids. This type of pencil is still required for testing in school. These #2 pencils are sturdy and can take the battle of high school. If you are looking for a pencil that lasts, this is the one for you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils work great, sharpen evenly, and feel smooth to hold. They’re just as good as more expensive pencils but will save you money! The tips are not easily broken which, I appreciate They are great pencils, and I'll keep buying.

Great pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is just a wonderful set of pencils and these pencils have become my sons favorite No. 2 pencils to use for his school work. They are very sturdy, the lead is properly centered and they sharpen very well. The pencils write well without brushing off and the lead is harder to break than with most other pencils. My son loves that these pencils come with cap erasers and these erasers work great as well. This will be the only pencils he will use from now on for all of his school work. Highly recommend them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a pack of these pencils to try out and I have to say, they are great. They sharpen very nicely and seem to stay sharper than other pencils we have here for my kids to use. The only thing I don't care for is the eraser. It doesn't make a mess like some others but I don't feel like it erases mistakes as well as it could. But overall, very happy with these and they're better than other we have used.

Terrible eraser

The Dixon No. 2 HB pencil is reasonably good, however the eraser is terrible. It's hard and just makes a large blob on the paper. I am constantly making changes to orders so having a good quality eraser at the end of the pencil is a must.

Smooth Writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Today my children and I used our Dixon Economy #2 Soft Yellow Pencils to write in our journals. I truly enjoy writing with a Dixon Pencil. Made of real wood it is comfortable for me to grip and write with for long periods of time. I like how smooth the graphite comes out on to the paper as I write my words. When I make a mistake and need to erase it, it is very easy to do. The eraser is durable and sturdy. It does not smear or rip my paper as I erase. The pencil is easy to sharpen and stays in tact, the graphite does not fall off or break as you sharpen it. Dixon is my number one choice in pencils for myself and my children.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these recently for my own personal use and they write just fine. I do a lot of journaling and note taking so I needed this pack. The erasers stayed on as I expected. Overall great product and I will buy more once I use all these up!
