## Description

Type: 8B;Manufacturer Part Number: HU8B

Review: PLEASE TRY! - Possibly the best pencils on the market? Bought after an online recommendation, I first tried the 10B pencil, which has a beautiful, creamy feel to it. Very smooth :-) So I have now bought mu usual collection - 12 each of HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B and 24 10Bs! Please give these a try. You will NOT be disappointed!
Review: Oh my! Wonderful! If you are artistically inclined, try these! - I bought these pencils after looking to reorder my Blackwing Palamino pencils and saw these mentioned in a review. These are a step above the Blackwings in my opinion. While the Blackwings are smooth, these are even smoother. And they come in various hardness/softness levels. These do NOT have an eraser, but it is easy to purchase some white plastic eraser tips to put on the end (remember the erasers we put on our school pencils when we used up all of the available eraser). I recommend the newer white plastic type of eraser rather than the older rubber erasers from childhood. The white plastic eraser works better. Speaking of erasing, these erase cleanly and with no shadow left from previous lines. Very nice! Cleaner erasing than the Blackwing pencils. I would also recommend that you purchase some pencil lead tips/covers, as this lead is very soft and will break easily if just stored in a bag without protection. desertcart sells some that are made of aluminum, 4 to a pack for a very good price, considering that are are Japanese In manufacture. As the lead is so soft, they do wear down more quickly than a standard HB pencil. I would recommend also a good quality pencil sharpener (a good brass one with replaceable blades if possible, as a good sharp blade is necessary for sharpening these pencils if you want a good point). I do not find that I need to sharpen them as often as some of the other reviewers have mentioned, though I think that might a difference in how hard different users press when using these pencils. Pressing harder will get you a bolder, thicker, darker line, but I find those qualities sufficient for my drawing and writing without pressing hard on the lead while using it. Takeaway, these are an absolute joy to draw and write with. Crisp smooth bold lines are their primary feature in my opinion. Too expensive for the user who is not artistically inclined perhaps, but astounding feel and look for those of us who are.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best pencils I ever used
*by P***X on 11 September 2024*

Mitsubishi unis are buttery soft. They glide like paint over paper it’s amazing. Beautiful, practical, thoughtful packaging, and sharpen well too. After buying 2mm led by the brand, it’s the only pencil I’ll buy. Compared quality specifically against prisma, stadtler, ebony and far exceeded them in quality. I’ve heard the H leds by this brand can be a bit tough though-I haven’t used them yet so I wouldn’t know, but jet pens did a bunch of consumer reports and tests on pencil grades and posted an article with the results on their page you can also look up. They cited these as being best for artists. They’re a really helpful resource for Japanese paper culture, office supplies, etc.
