Mitsubishi Pencil 9000 HB 1 Dozen K9000HB

These are different from the standard #2 pencils you used in school. These are extremely smooth when writing on paper. I recommend them strongly if you’re into quality writing implements.

Great writing experience, I am really enjoying using these pencils.

Beautiful and smooth writing

These are decent pencils. Harder edge of the HB range. Good point retention. Doesn't smudge much.

I REALLY like these pencils. They write very smoothly and are a great price. The fit and finish is excellent and they sharpen very smoothly with a Mitsubishi KH20. This is the third Mitsubishi Pencil I have tried; it competes well against the 9850 and the Hi Uni. I bought these pencils because I wanted an eraserless smoothly capped 9850, keeping the high fit and finish, dark line, and point retention. It performs almost identically to the 9850. I wanted this pencil to be a cheaper Hi Uni B but in HB while not sacrificing much, it has that in spades. One minor knock I do have against this pencil is the wood. The Hi Uni's are top shelf incense cedar (you pay for it), the 9850 is I believe cedar but of a lesser quality, and the 9000 is of a different species entirely. It may be some type of fir. If you want to get the most of these pencils I HIGHLY recommend getting a burr sharpener, as it will sharpen the softer wood much better than a quickly dulled blade sharpener. With my KH20 I don't even notice the lesser wood quality visibly or in use. Get one, do yourself a favor. If you want to know what the hubbub is around premium Japanese drawing/writing pencils - this is a great place to start.

This is a great pencil. Writes very smoothly while holding a point fairly well. Not the best, but good for the price.

I bought these because my normal pencils kept breaking. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on the more expensive Mitsubishi pencils (those are like 2.50 each....) so I got these instead. They haven't broken yet after sharpening or writing. They keep a point. They're centered properly. Overall, just a very nice little pencil to use.

This pencil has a strong incense cedar smell to it which I love. It's very fancy looking and writes like a dream if you have a soft touch. Really a lovely writing instrument.

これらのペンはとても良いです。とても気に入りました。絵を描くのに良く、とても優れているのでおすすめします

Very nice pencil. High end.

High quality pencils. Provide a consistently clear line & sharpen well. Recommended.
