Poor quality
The quality of the Ticonderoga pencil is very poor since they moved production to Mexico. My last and final box of Ticonderoga pencils lasted all of two days. The lead was not fastened inside the wood and was broken every 1/4" inch or so. As a result the lead breaks and falls out when you attempt to sharpen or use the pencil. Unacceptable quality and their packaging makes it look like it is made in the USA--deceptive.

Erase...Erase..*rip* "aww"
Does anyone ever feel like that? Well, the reason I love these pencils is because of there beautiful erasers. These are the best pencils I have ever used!
Eraser:
This is my favorite part, the erasers are soft high quality and work like magic. They do not rip the paper and last for a while. The only problem is that the metal band that holds them onto the pencil is sometimes a bit loose so they often fall off.
Paint:
This is why I rated these pencils only four stars, the paint comes off really easily and is slippery so these pencils are not great for long essays or exam, stick to the mechanical pencils. Or get grips...
Lead:
The lead lays down smoothly and can, to some extent, be used for shading. As with all leads there are sometimes incidents when the pencil falls off the table and the lead breaks so the pencil is gone, but still...
So over all if you do not want to use a mechanical pencil then this pencil (preferably with a grip) is the best you can get.

Hard to find a good pencil these days!
I bought these pencils as a Christmas present for my son's third grade teacher. She had asked for pencils on the school's gift tree. My own personal experience with these pencils was good and his teacher had also said she liked this brand best. These pencils sharpen well and have good lead. Still wish they were less expensive!... Papermate "Mirado" pencils are also excellent and very reasonable (and actually less expensive per pencil at Sam's Club.)

Poor quality since production moved to Mexico
Since Dixon moved production of their pencils to Mexico the quality has suffered. I went through a box in 2 days because the lead kept breaking and falling out of the pencil. When you try to sharpen it, the lead breaks inside of the wood pencil body and falls out. DO NOT BUY!!! Ticondaroga's used to be my favorite, now Papermate Mirado Black Warrior's are.

Preferred pencil
Those in the know ask for pencils by brand name, and these are the ones they like. Sharpen well, write smoothly (not at all scratchy) don't break easily, have good quality erasers on the end. We always buy this brand and will continue to do so.

Excellent Graphite Never Fades, But Erases Unwanted Old Flames Well
At a cafe, I doodled on a newspaper with my Dixon Ticonderoga pencil. As a classic #2, the soft graphite was dark, thick and steady, working well on the dim white recycled newsprint. Against the cafe's smell of burnt coffee rested the subtle sweet smell of wood freshly sharpened.
In walked an extraordinary beauty. How many years had passed since I first saw her here? No, this isn't the time for that. She was here. That mattered. What happened 10 years ago needed to be forgotten. She smiled and called me over. "Nancy," I said. And then, more was said, with more smiles.
Three hours and a loaf of bread later, it was time to go. Nancy grabbed her address book and a pen. She asked me my e-mail address while adjusting her lipstick. She took my pencil and wrote 'Brockeim' in flowing black-gray letters with curves like waves, yet completely legible. She could have used a pen, I noticed. She didn't. I have not heard from her since.
May your Dixon pencils never fade, and the tips never break.

Great pencil, history
Since Ticonderoga pencils have been around for decades, you come to expect great quality. Although no longer made here for some reason, they have managed to maintain their superior quality. We use these exclusively in our schools and there's never a worry about the durability of them during test time. I do suggest, however, that you get the ones with the Microban to help ward of germs. LOVE those! Highly recommend!

reliable well made product
how often today in this age of technology where we have to return our computers or phones or ipods ... can we buy something that we know will do what we want with it? these pencils are well made, the points don't break "too quickly" like some pencils, and (i'm ashamed to say this) the erasers don't taste half-bad (i told you so!). a great product. remember (unlike me)- buy a pencil sharpeners, too!

Does the Ticonderoga pencil company have anything to do with the battle at ft.Ticonderoga?
Sep 28, 2006 by Kate | Posted in Homework Help
I'm currently researching the battle at ft. Ticonderoga and wondering if it has anything to do with the Ticonderoga pencil company because of the name.
Do you think it's a coincidence that the sharpened point of a pencil resembles the pointy top of those wooden forts?
Coincidence....I think not!
Seriously...
America's #1 pencil! First introduced in 1913, the Joseph Dixon Crucible Company wanted a name that represented "a fine American name for a fine American pencil." They named the pencil Ticonderoga after Fort Ticonderoga, a military post
in New York.
With production of nearly a half a billion pencils a year, the Ticonderoga has become the #1, most recognized, and revered pencil throughout America and the world. Try one of our quality Ticonderoga products and discover for yourself why each and every one of our products is "The Best of its Kind".

Yes, during the battle, the soldiers ran out of bullets, they used pencils instead. Even though they used pencils they were able to beat the British.

Where can I find Ticonderoga Core Lock Colored Pencils?
Aug 18, 2008 by vie | Posted in Drawing & Illustration
They are the suggested pencils on my school, list. If I can find them, I'll buy them, or else I'll use Crayola. But I checked Staples and they don't have them, so does anyone know where I can get the Ticonderoga Pencils?
And- how do you pronounce Ticonderoga?
The pronunciation: Tie - Cone - dear - oga
These seem to be hard to find. Good but hard to find. It seems to me that these need to be ordered online. I've found them on educators websites but not on artist sites. There is one office site I found with them:
http://store.myofficesource.com/dix50401.html
You may also try the sites that they recommend:

My guess is you will be hard pressed to find them in a store. You could try prismacolor pencils as a good alternative.
