🖍️ Koh-I-Noor Progresso Woodless Colored Pencil Set - Assorted Colors, Pack of 12 (FA8756.12) Review

You need to handle them carefully, they can break, as there is no wooden shell. During the use of two such sets, I only broke one pencil, I insert its halves into the pencil holder and continue to use it - very convenient. White in the set - for colored paper only.

Essentially pure pigment pencils - if dropped they will break just like a lead will break if a wooden pencil is dropped. ;) However, these woodless pens are my absolute favorites and I've tried several.

If you drop one on a hard floor, it will most likely break into many pieces. One of the pencils broke off in shipping, but only the tip. I used a manual sharpener and it sharpens easily. The outer part of the pencil is colored, so there are no color transfer problems except for the pointed end. I like to use the nib for broad

You don't get much waste with all that wood surrounding the colored parts, although it does make it a little more pressure sensitive, but not enough to be a deal breaker.
