I have also been a big admirer of Dixon’s alternative high performance pencil, the #2 Oriole. I enjoy the unmatched durability of the Oriole, but I find the Oriole to be lacking. I suppose it may be because it’s not as sleek nor ergonomic as its sister pencil, the exalted Ticonderoga. There’s nothing quite like the intoxicating aroma that stings your nostrils when cracking open a brand new package of undisturbed, unsharpened Dixon #2 Ticonderoga pencils.
The #2 Ticonderoga is the epitome of classroom pencils. With their unrivaled craftsmanship there just isn’t any other company that comes close to competing. Papermate? Palomino? These are merely pawns just living in a Ticonderoga world.
Dixon recently released an automatic design of the #2 Ticonderoga, which I’m a little skeptical of, but I’m also really excited to see what they have in store for us next.
One reason why I chose to write this review, was to compare the Ticonderoga with the Economy line. Aside from the smell, the Ticonderoga graphite is a little bit softer than the Economy, and the eraser is about 3mm longer. The pencil shafts of the two are nearly identical in length.
I recently purchased the Charles Leonard Multi-Hole Pencil Sharpener (#89508) and set about testing it with these two lines of pencils. Both sharpened effortlessly, but I noticed that, while the diameter of the Ticonderoga pencil corresponds exactly to the size of the "Standard" setting on the sharpener, I had trouble inserting the Economy pencil with that setting. Adjusting the setting up to the next size was necessary. Having the opening of the pencil sharpener closely match the diameter of the pencil barrel is key to easily keeping the pencil in the right position for sharpening.
I have read complaints about both the Ticonderoga and the Economy pencils being difficult to sharpen. A "one-size fits all" pencil sharpener may actually be the problem. Also, sometimes a particular lot of pencils may get through quality control that has the graphite core off-center. That is a pencil that may make you swear. Many of those novelty pencils that your kids get in birthday party goodie bags may make you swear when you try to sharpen them. I have had perhaps one or two Dixon pencils of both lines that had this problem. But never a whole box. If you buy a box of Dixon pencils and it was a bad lot, I recommend that you contact Prang to see if they would give you a coupon for a free box.
Original Review:
The pencils are poor quality. They are highly unusable because they don’t exist. However, they are nice though ergonomically, because they're as light as air! If you suffer from over-use syndrome these are the pencils for you!
I expected to have the pencils in time to be able to use them. I was happily surprised by the one day shipping and jumped on it but it did not matter because the pencils never arrived even though one day shipping was offered. The seller claimed that the pencils were delivered to a secure location…which is clearly back at the Amazon warehouse. I'm extremely disappointed in the poor service and deceit - if a company cannot deliver then they should not advertise it.
So I’m giving this one star because the pencils are literally non existent and false advertisement is annoying. They should mark this as zero pencils because that’s what you’ll get.
I can't recommend buying this product on Amazon and I recommend buying from a reputable brick and mortar store like Walmart or Target or 7-eleven.
never got them back

Anche io preferisco una matita con una mina dura e un tratto "chiaro", quindi quando ho visto che la Ticonderoga le produceva, le ho acquistate immediatamente. Si temperano bene, anche usando un normale temperino, sebbene da anni usi un temperamatite elettrico acquistato sempre qui su Amazon (straconsigliato).
Infine mi trovo benissimo con il rivenditore Supermart USA: spese di spedizione gratuite e pur arrivando dagli USA il pacchetto (sempre integro), non impiega poi tanto.
