Review: There is only one pencil that is worth having in a classroom and that is Ticonderoga. All other pencils - and I mean ALL OTHER pencils do not measure up. Ticonderoga has the best erasers, sharpen the smoothest, last the longest, and are the best quality. Even though you will spend a little more per pencil, they are worth it because you will throw the others out due to their poor quality. I wish Ticonderoga made pencil top erasers. If they did, I could use the pencil longer. Students erase a lot and once the eraser is gone, I prefer to start with a new pencil. Why would you have any other brand? Buy Ticonderoga. Period! Review: These are the best pencil you will ever use. I only wish they’d make a mechanical version, I’m sure it would be fantastic. ## Features - EXCLUSIVE #2 GRAPHITE FORMULA: Proprietary graphite formula mined from carefully controlled sources provides extra smooth performance; thick graphite core delivers broad consistent lines - PREMIUM WOOD: Harvested from responsibly managed forests, these pencils provide smooth, even sharpening with minimal breakage; Number 2 pencils are golden yellow lacquered for a coated matte finish and are pre-sharpened to save you time - LATEX-FREE ERASER: Superior, latex-free eraser removes marks completely without smudging and is securely glued in the signature green & gold ferrules - SAFE FOR KIDS: PMA certified non-toxic so you have the assurance you need to focus on the task at hand - TRUSTED BRAND: Ticonderoga is part of the Dixon Ticonderoga family of products which includes Prang, Dixon, Pacon, Tru-Ray, UCreate, Fadeless, Classroom Keepers, Bordette, Creativity Street, Spectra, Strathmore, Canson, Daler-Rowney, Lyra, Das, Maimeri, Princeton Artist Brush, and more ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002VL5IJO | | Additional Features | Non Toxic, Pre-Sharpened | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #24,871 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #167 in Wooden Pencils | | Body Shape | Hexagonal or Round | | Brand Name | Ticonderoga | | Closure Type | Twist | | Color | Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (31,856) | | Drill Point | Broad | | Grip Type | thumb grip | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | 2H | | Included Components | Eraser | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | Yellow | | Item Dimensions | 7 x 22.9 x 1.9 centimeters | | Item Type Name | Ticonderoga | | Item Weight | 0.02 Pounds | | Line Size | Broad | | Manufacturer | DIXON TICONDEROGA COMPANY | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | Dixon Ticonderoga | | Model Number | 13818 | | Pattern | Pencils | | Recommended Uses For Product | Writing | | Style | 18 Count | | Subject Character | Wood | | Theme | Game of Thrones | | UPC | 343538251125 072067138187 300719205506 343538384649 | | Unit Count | 18 Count | | Writing Instrument Form | Graphite Pencil | | Writing Technique | pencil lead | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Ticonderoga - **Colour:** Yellow - **Ink colour:** Yellow - **Writing instrument form:** Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Wood-Cased Pencils, Pre-Sharpened, #2 HB Soft, Yellow, 18 Count - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71u+FG2YD7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are these made in USA?** A: Not any more. But the good news is, you can get pencils every bit as good, if not better, that ARE made in the USA, from sustainably forested California Cedar, by getting the USA Gold pencils. Look for The Write Dudes or America's Pencil to find those. They sharpen great, are strong and have that awesome "sharpened pencil" scent we all know and love. **Q: Are they manufactured in the USA? I know they USED to be, but have seen many made in China or Mexico.** A: Not at all. These pencils are made in China 🇨🇳 I recommend considering other brand products like <> The Musgrave Pencil company has been making pencils in Shelbyville TN USA 🇺🇸 since 1916. **Q: Are these made in USA?** A: These are made in China with wood from the USA. These are terrific pencils and even better are the erasers which erase pencil marks completely without leaving any residue or gray smeared spots. I love them! **Q: Are these the same as the "my first pencil" #2?** A: No, this is a 30ct pack of our traditional yellow Ticonderoga presharpened pencils. The "My First" Ticonderoga pencils are larger in diameter (13/32" dia.) They also have a larger latex-free eraser. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***M on 16 August 2025* There is only one pencil that is worth having in a classroom and that is Ticonderoga.
