Out of all of the pencils I have ever bought these have been my favorite. They write really nicely and smoothly, the tip doesn't break or snap as often as other brands.
When you sharpen them they are so much smoother and more durable compared to other brands. Some fo the cheaper pencils keep breaking and you have to sharpen them until you only have half a pencil left. Not these, they make soft grinding noise and sharpen very smoothly.
The eraser is very high quality and doesn't smear or leave marks behind.
Unlike some brands the metal part at the top of these pencils are a lot better quality and don't have sharp edges.
This might seem like a silly thing to review but these pencils really do have a quality difference that sticks out from other pencil brands.

I was working on costume prop and needed to some pencils to make my marks on the wood. I went to Wal-Mart and saw these amongst there many pencils. The 24 pack was a little over 8 dollars. A bit pricey for pencils. I gave in to the slogan of "Worlds best pencil" and figured I would give them a try. Because like anyone else who has purchased these I was sick of erasers that smudged, lead that broke, wood that was more plastic than wood.I will never buy any other kind of pencil again.
The thing that I like the most is that the eraser actually erases with out smudges. I'm a little heavy handed when I write so there is some residual. The lead doesn't break for no apparent reason. The only time I need to sharpen it is when the lead gets dull or I sit or step on it. They are worth every penny.
One reviewer didn't like them because of the graphite. If you do the dixon website ( [...] ) their online store has different graphite selections.
In my opinion they really are the greatest pencil in the world. Accept no substitutes.

Amazon Verified Purchase
Without a doubt this is the most disappointing item I have purchased in years! I have always bought this brand of pencil because I am a writer and still write in longhand.
I am on my fourth 12-pack (48 pencils) from this case and I have thrown away most of them because the lead breaks as soon as I begin to write.
I have used several different pencil sharpeners and the breakage is the same with all of them.
It is a pity to see such an icon go down the tubes because of poor quality but it has for me. I will never purchase another Ticonderoga product again.

The Best
These pencils are much better than the cheap things my school has been buying. The graphite does not break as often. The wood does not loosen from the graphite as often. Read more

leads break frequently
Dixon No. 2/HB pencils are of poor quality. The leads break often while sharpening. If I manage to get one sharpened, the lead frequently snaps under normal use. Read more

Spotty Quality
I recently started using wood pencils while practicing for the LSAT exam. After being frustrated with some generic #2's, I purchased a dozen Ticonderogas. Read more

Did I just buy a bad batch or...?
So, I see it's not just me who has the lead breakage problems. Even if these pencils manage to hold a point, it's only a matter of time before they suddenly break. Read more

Works well. First choice for pencils.
I can't say why others have had quality issues with these pencils but they've been excellent for us and I've purchased more than one package. Read more
