Sanford Prismacolor Premier Graphite Drawing Pencils with Erasers & Sharpeners, 18-Piece Set

The best pencils I have ever used...

Great and smooth pencils

The graphite pencils were all broken, when exchange was done again received broken pieces, the packing was a problem or may be the tin box will always break the graphite pencils, the quality on pencils are too good too soft the sharpener is old rusty sharpner not worth the price of the box, but yes the pencils quality is world class

Pencil broken

The set is not very high quality. The lead inside the pencils breaks every time I sharpen…do not buy

Excellent selection of drawing pencils.

Physically, this case is much larger than I'd expected, which is probably on me since it shows how many pencils are in it and I know the average size of a pencil. To be precise, it's 6 inches wide by 9.5 inches high. That puts it a tiny bit larger than most of my travel sketchbooks, but small enough to fit in any bag I've tried. Because this has woodless pencils, I would advocate for keeping some kind of cloth with the kit. Even touching the sides of them is messy. Also, this kit doesn't come with a blending stomp. The plastic tray that holds the pencils can lift out easily, and underneath is just enough room for a small cloth and a large stomp. It might hold a small water brush (useful as this has some water soluble pencils) but I don't have one small enough to test. I like that it's easy to get any of these pencils separately. I'm going to use up the 2B much faster than the 6H so I can just pick up a pack of those (Amazon usually carries packs of 12 for each of the weights) and only refill what I need. I might swap out the 6H altogether for a 4B, which this set doesn't include (or I could hide one of those under the plastic tray). The flexibility is cool here. The sharpener is excellent, which I didn't expect. This comes with an unsharpened 8B pencil. 8B is difficult under the best or circumstances, and I didn't think the tiny sharpener they threw in would be able to handle it. It did, no breaking on the first go. I'm not sure why this needed two erasers. Both are fine. Neither smudges. Both do an excellent job. It was probably a matter of figuring out what to do with a chunk of empty space. Overall, I love this. It's a great portable set for sketching on the go.

They are amazing, BUUUT, 2 of the Woodless Graphite pencils were broken during shipping. They're still useable in pieces, it is what it is. Cold climate and not much protection is provided by the metal pencil case lid which they can freely rattle against on the inside. The shipping box was more than adequate, there was only a tiny strip of bubble wrap inside the box which allowed the case to shift around during transport.

Son fantásticos pero los lápices de madera llegan con la mina rota lo cual es una gran pérdida de producto, pero su calidad completamente profesional
