Apsara Platinum Extra Dark Pencils - Pack Of 10

I use a lot of pencils because I prefer to write with them (or if important, I use ink).These pencils sharpen nicely and write well and are good value for money.

Whenever I use a regular #2, the color comes out very light. Now with the slightly darker graphite I can see what I have written. From now on, I will choose the darker graphite.

I like writing in Pencil rather than ink, it’s a good dark colour and if I make a mistake I can just rub it off! Also good for doodling while you get bored in class :)

They are stamped “for good handwriting”. I give them to people with poor handwriting, partly in hope, partly for my own amusement.They haven’t improved anyone’s handwriting yet, but they are agreeably dark - around a 2B or 3B. Point retention is decent, though the graphite is flakier than Japanese pencils, which is entirely predictable at this price.They’re fun pencils with character. I could use them regularly, but with so many pencils in the world and so little time, I mostly reserve them as gifts for people with poor handwriting.

Nice pencils but I needed something darker
