I had one if these years ago and forgot about it till a week ago when I was going through an old pencil case. I love these pencils, they have an almost rubberized coating, and are comfortable for extended use.

These pencils were the first pick at first for correcting a pencil hold, but if a lot of correction is needed a different tool may be needed. However, these are still number one choice where a lot of correction is not needed and more support is required Or, just a more comfortable grip compared to the round pencil is desired since the shape is a lot easier to use than the round pencils. The pencils are comfortable (not as comfortable as the original Ticonderoga soft-touch, but still softer than most pencils) and easy to use. The size, shape, and the sturdiness of the pencil is great! The eraser is one of the best I have ever used. The sharpener does work, but it does take some practice and some resharpening at times. So, your pencil can be used up quicker than normal. It does seem to depend sometimes on the pencil that you pull out of the box; some are easier than others. I also have other sharpeners that it works well with and you don't have to do that with. Overall, a good product!

I like the feel and quality, but price was higher than worth IMO.

These are and will always be my favorite pencil. Comfort comes above everything for this pencil. A little weird to sharpen at first but everything else is great especially the matte feeling and wider than normal girth.

Graphite crumbles when sharpening and does NOT produce a workable tip. The graphite is also lighter than it should be for an HB2. Comfortable, but I would pick up another pencil 90% of the time. Waste of 5 bucks.

These are my favorite pencils. They are comfortable and easy to write with. I prefer a wider grip and this size works well to combat hand fatigue.As a teacher, I give them to students with poor or awkward grip and who press hard when writing. They love them too.

I've become a little bit of a pencil hobbyist while searching for pencils to help my boys with handwriting. I have found that the Dixon my first tri-write pencils were the best handwriting tool when my boys were toddlers. Now that my son is in first grade, we have moved to the intermediate size. These Dixon Tri-conderoga pencils will be perfect from now until middle school. The triangular barrel helps him grip as he writes faster and more content and the rubber barrel also prevents his fingers from sliding. The intermediate size is a comfortable and age-appropriate size so that his hands do not cramp up while holding a smaller barrel. I have just made my 3rd order of these pencils. As for pencil sharpeners - I would encourage parents of young children to invest in an electric sharpener or spend $10 for a decent dual hole sharpener. A good sharpener can make all the difference as does a decent quality pencil.

Great feel and great grip. These pencils are excellent for children learning to write. I buy them every year for my kindergarteners. I even find myself saving a few for me! The triangular shape helps reinforce proper pencil grip. They are also a little bigger and easier to hold than the classic yellow pencil. Finally, they sharpen up like a dream!

Love these pencils - my autistic son will only use these, as the pencil grasp is so much easier.Only wish a traditional pencil sharpener would work - it does not, due to the triangular shape, so once one is lost, it is truly gone.I wonder if this seller will ever make a bulk purchase price... would like to buy 100/time, as I go through about 200/yr in our family alone.

These pens were purchased for my son who has arthritis. Although he is a senior in high school, he still needs a #2 pencil at times. This pencil is larger and with the triangular shape, his arthritis is not compromised. The outside of the black pencils have a coating that is non-slip which also helps.From the stock photo it was hard to tell is there were actually 6 pencils in the packaging. But there are. I needed to purchase this particular pack because other "tri" pencil sharpeners do not work with Tri-Conderoga pencils. So not only do you get 6 great pencils but you get a very nice sharpener.I have been teaching for 23 years and always have used Ticonderoga products for my students. The lead is smooth, and is also easy to erase than other similar pencils.Also, this pencil is LATEX FREE, which is a plus since it has the coating on it. Plus, the black coating makes it look cool which kids are always looking at.EXCELLENT product and HIGHLY recommend.
