Questions & Answers

Do they come from where they are ?

I knew they were made in Mexico as of the last info I had. The United States (no longer)

Is there a reason why the 8pack is more expensive than the 12pack? Would you mind telling me if you are ?

Sharpening has already been done on those

What kind of lead is this pencil? Is it a soft No 2?

In this example we are using an HB #2 pencil, which is considered the standard writing pencil.

The actual product is not what you see on the picture
3/5

Definitely not what it looked like in the picture. Below is a picture of the box of all my Black Warriors from Mirado. There is an error in the packaging of these "Mirado Black Warrior" pencils. There aren't even black or round, and neither are they black. The pencils are not Mirado Black Warrior pencils as you can see on the pencil, but they are Mirado classic pencils. Regaining my strength.

I'm not as fond of these pencils as I used to be
3/5

The only thing I could think of was crossing my fingers. My memory says I have more on hand than I do. My favorite were the old ones. The new ones look ok at first glance, but they weren't as sharp as the old ones. A lot more sharpening is required today because the lead is not as thick, the wood is not as good, and the lead is not centered in the pencil as it used to be. It's kind of sad to see how cheap the good ones have become and I wish I had stocked up more.

BUT a good pencil is hard to come by
3/5

In contrast to the dark lead of old, the lead is no longer so black. It used to be my favorite pencil to fill my sketchbook. Although it is still dark, it does not have that deep black I loved. Now it looks and feels like an actual Dixon pencil. For drawing, I'll need to stick to Staedler. Though soft and supple, the lead is still nice. This would be a good tool for math or school, but not for drawing.

Warrior of the Black Panthers I really like this pencil
5/5

A pencil is a pencil is a pencil to most people, but to those who appreciate a simple thing executed well, there is a clear distinction between the Black Warrior and the pencils given away as SWAG or purchased in a box for less than $1. There are many people who are unlikely to be able to differentiate between the good and bad pencils for the simple reason that they have never used a superior pencil or have not investigated the brand of pencil they are If you ask pencil enthusiasts what they prefer, they'll readily admit that the Black Warrior is in the running, even if there may be some disagreement over which is the best of the best. A round barrel would be the only aspect someone could reasonably complain about with this pencil, as it is designed As a consequence, the round barrel makes this pencil extremely comfortable to hold, and if you place your pencils carefully, you will not have problems with A matte black barrel gives the pencil a sophisticated appearance that makes it stand out among the yellow pencils that we see everywhere, though a few of them have gold stamping that's less than perfect. The eraser actually works, In terms of competitors, the Dixon Ticonderoga is often a little less expensive, while the Palomino Blackwing is probably a step or two ahead of the rest, but may be prohibitively expensive to use everyday - Taking the kids' pencil boxes to school is one example. Take a look at each brand and see which one you prefer. If you write a lot with pencils, one of the three will surely be.

This pencil has an excellent eraser, but an average pencil
5/5

I'm currently taking a college math class and do a lot of pencil writing, so I can attest to the quality of these pencils. Having a bad back has been a real pain I switched to a better writing implement after using a set of school's grade pencils. The indentations on the paper are usually the result of pressing hard on the paper. I would need to sharpen the pencils about three times during a four-hour session with ten cheap pencils. I had ten lead breaks during the session and around three sharpening sessions at the end. Unlike other black warriors, the Mirado Black Warriors have never completely broken the lead. They only have the newly sharpened tip under them. I was left with a completely usable pencil after cutting the lead to 5mm. You can write much more smoothly with it, and it dulls much, much slower than the store-bought ones It was purchased off the shelf- In comparison, I can use three Mirado Black Warriors with not one but two sharpening sessions in the same amount of time. On the other hand, the eraser fails to impress, not a better or worse product than those on the shelf I bought generic pencils (but who buys pencils just to use them with erasers? By adding an eraser pencil, I was able to solve this problem. Some have recommended using a tabletop topper to prevent the round pencils from rolling off One box of 40 of these toppers will cost you At the local store, I got this for 99 dollars, so I have it for years to come. This will add a very small amount to the cost. If you compare the durability and usability of these pencils versus cheap generics at your local large-format store, these pencils seem more durable and longer-lasting A box store is actually cheaper than a big box store. Because the pencils fatigue my hand much less than the store versions when I write with a very hard style of writing A set of pencils was purchased. In addition, they smell like cedar, which is an added bonus. If one day my son is not in a grade where pencils are shared among a group, then I'll purchase these exclusively for him, as I wish I had access to good pencils like these when I was a grade schooler. As a result, I'd give them four and a half stars, losing half a star because the video is so bad I think they are as good as you can get in my experience, but since that is not possible, I will give them five because I tend to think they are as good as you can get. Don't miss out on this promotion when you purchase Paper Mate's Black Warriors.

The worse is not unknown to me
3/5

This is the The shape of the barrel is round* The width of the barrel is slightly narrower than most pencils* * The The Good * The matte black finish is comfortable to hold * the lines are comfortable, smooth, and dark * the lines erase well, but not with the included eraser * The As a result, the eraser leaves a pink stain. As a result, the lead needs to be sharpened frequently. In general, I was left with the following If this pencil did not have an eraser, it would be a better pencil. Though I quite like the properties of the lead for sketching and drawing, I would not like the smoothly dulled tip if I needed to do extensive writing and math. I think this would be a good As long as you have an eraser separate from the tron test.

They bubble well in tests and are GREAT for enhancing your grade
3/5

Currently, I am a teacher in elementary school, trying to find a pencil with a lead that will not break. Even though these pencils write very smoothly, they have a tendency to bubble in tests. However, approximately half of the pencils within the box kept In addition to ALL of the other brands I have tried, the lead began falling out immediately after sharpening. I find it rather absurd that you cannot find a decent pencil these days.
