Ella I. ★★★★★

The wood on these pencils has a lovely, smooth feel when you sharpen them — no splintering at all. They write dark and clean, exactly what I was hoping for from a handcrafted tool.

Kevin ★★★★☆

The hexagonal shape makes these pencils feel substantial in the hand, and the wood sharpens to a nice point without crumbling. Only wish the gold band was a bit tighter against the body, but for daily writing they hold up well.

Mia W. ★★★★☆

The gold ferrule looks classy and the hexagonal shape keeps them from rolling off the desk. I just wish the lead was a bit darker for my taste—still a solid pencil.
