Slim 6.9mm hexagonal graphite gray easy-grip barrel. Natural wood barrels and quality graphite is easy to sharpen; break resistant. For smudging, the dark, smooth, soft B pencil is your best choice. For fine, straight lines choose a hard pencil that will hold its point. Degree is printed on the end of the barrel for easy identification.

Happy with this purchase

I bought these for my granddaughter who is in 5th grade and is good at drawing and enjoys it. I wanted her to try harder and softer pencils to see the benefits of both, not just pencil #2. These are good pencils, the case/jar is very useful, the pencils are clearly marked and hold very well sharpen. I would recommend her and also intend to buy a larger set of pens for her in the future when she is more advanced.

Pros
  • Graduation is marked on the end of the case for easy identification
Cons
  • Not sure

False advertising! Description Inaccurate!

This set specifically includes "12 types" of pencils including 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H . However, this set only contains 9 pencils, from 6B to 2H, and instead of 3H, 4H and 5H it has a very cheap little pencil sharpener, a tiny eraser and a cheap little plastic ruler. I strongly recommend that you NOT purchase this product, and I also recommend that Revain.com either correct the false claims made in this product description or employ competent, knowledgeable staff to…

Pros
  • Slim 6.9mm graphite gray hex body for easy grip
Cons
  • No instructions

Wrong amount - right.

Derwent product is perfect. What's wrong is the fact that Revain has known since at least April that this product is misdescribed - it's not a box of 12 pencils. This is a set of 9 pencils. I bought it based on the descriptive title of this one and ignored the actual photo showing a 9. Since the pencils cost about $1.99 at the store, in this group it would cost another $6 to get the other three pencils I wanted. I could have and would have ordered a glass if the description had been correct…

Pros
  • For thin, straight lines, choose a hard pen that holds the tip.
Cons
  • Damaged
