The Ticonderoga is the world's best pencil. Satin smooth finish enhances writing comfort. An exclusive graphite core formula gives you extra smooth performance. PMA certified non-toxic and crafted with premium wood from well managed forests, these top quality pencils feature latex-free erasers to provide easy, clean corrections.
This is a lightweight pencil that never cracks or splinters when it's sharpened. The lead is the smoothest I have ever used (and I use a LOT of lead). The eraser is exactly what you want in an eraser; it is long-lasting, erases clean and never leaves behind streaks. While it costs a little more than other #2's, it's totally worth it. Highly recommend!
