The value you get is worth the price, and they are really smooth to sharpen. Probably one of my favorite on brand pencils, and the black ones are just really clean espeically if you’ve got a lot of black pens. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Nice *by on Reviewed in the United States June 20, 2026* Really nice pencils. Sharpen nicely and write very well. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ticonderoga Wood-Cased Pencils, Unsharpened, #2 HB Soft, Black, 12 Count - Ticonderoga® Pastel Pencils, #2 Soft, Assorted Colors, Pack of 10 Pencils - Ticonderoga X13910 Striped Wood-Cased Pencils, 2 HB Soft, Pre-Sharpened, 10 Count, Assorted Colors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/3840063-wood-cased-pencils-2-hb-soft-black-12-count-ideal](https://www.desertcart.us/products/3840063-wood-cased-pencils-2-hb-soft-black-12-count-ideal) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
