5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Pencil in the World, June 14, 2008

I am a woodworker and use pencils constantly for drafting and design as well as for actually marking wood. This pencils are soft enough so you can see the line and the lead won't break, yet hard enough that it holds a point. The wood is premium so it sharpens right the first time. The lead is of course graphite, but I think it has some wax in it so it flows nicely. This is one of the best prices on the Web, too!

Chances are, you can't afford a Rolls Royce automobile, a Patek Philippe watch or a mansion in the Hamptons. But for less than a quarter apiece, you can write with the best wooden pencil in the world: the Black Warrior. Who says rich people have all the fun?

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality, May 1, 2008

I would just like to say first that I despise pens; most likely because my penmenship is terrible and pens just make it that much worse. I also can't stand mechanical pencils with the constant breaking of the thin, cheap lead or the jamming of lead. I find I spend more time trying to get a mechanical pencil to work then I do writing with it. I just prefer your standard wood pencil which I have recently started to learn is no longer the norm. These days you can't a soul with a wooden pencil and it's even harder to find a pencil sharpeners but I continue on because maybe I'm stubborn. Recently I switched from the Dixon Ticanderoga, which I used to tell everyone was the best pencil in the world, to the Mirado Black Warrior. I have been using the Ticanderoga since way back in high school when my friend and I would argue over who used the better pencils, his Black Warrior or my Ticanderoga. So when I started to experience so defects in my favorite brand of pencil, which I learned was caused by moving manufactoring for the U.S. to Mexico, I knew where to turn. I bought a pack of Black Warriors instead of my beloved Ticanderogas and to tell you the truth I couldn't be happier. They are of the highest quality. If you need pencils, buy these.
