Apsara platinum Extra Dark Pencils Pack of 10 with free Eraser & Sharpener

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.

I like these pencils. They're nice quality. But they're not particularly dark at all. They're normal pencils. I used to like drawing and I'm sure you can get darker than these. Nice quality though.

its very good for use on sheet music and manuscript paper

Item was described soft and dark, it’s neither.

They were described as soft, dark pencils. They aren’t soft or dark!

Not dark as expected

Spot on lovely writing recommended

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.

theses pencils are great they wright dark and you don't have to press hard if they break its because you're pressing to hard which is normal when using lesser quality pencils

No erasers but nice pencils

Pencils write smoothly and are comfortable to write with, but extra dark they are not. It’s no darker than a standard #2 pencil.
