Apsara platinum Extra Dark Pencils Pack of 10 with free Eraser & Sharpener

I like writing in Pencil rather than ink, it’s a good dark colour and if I make a mistake I can just rub it off! Also good for doodling while you get bored in class :)

They are stamped “for good handwriting”. I give them to people with poor handwriting, partly in hope, partly for my own amusement. They haven’t improved anyone’s handwriting yet, but they are agreeably dark - around a 2B or 3B. Point retention is decent, though the graphite is flakier than Japanese pencils, which is entirely predictable at this price. They’re fun pencils with character. I could use them regularly, but with so many pencils in the world and so little time, I mostly reserve them as gifts for people with poor handwriting.

I like these pencils. They're nice quality. But they're not particularly dark at all. They're normal pencils. I used to like drawing and I'm sure you can get darker than these. Nice quality though.

its very good for use on sheet music and manuscript paper

Item was described soft and dark, it’s neither.

They were described as soft, dark pencils. They aren’t soft or dark!

Not dark as expected

my daughter enjoys this pencil as its darker than the others

I use a lot of pencils because I prefer to write with them (or if important, I use ink). These pencils sharpen nicely and write well and are good value for money.

Nice pencils but I needed something darker

Whenever I use a regular #2, the color comes out very light. Now with the slightly darker graphite I can see what I have written. From now on, I will choose the darker graphite.

The eraser that comes with the pencils is really wonderful. Doesn't smear, and doesn't leave any eraser residue behind. The pencils them selves are darker than the modern-day #2 pencils. I personally would like them to be a bit darker, but over all I am happy with them. I posted a photo of my crossword so you can see how dark the letters are.

theses pencils are great they wright dark and you don't have to press hard if they break its because you're pressing to hard which is normal when using lesser quality pencils
