So I do a little research on what the best pencils are and not to my surprise I find a bunch of posts by school teachers saying they lose so much time because Dixon pencils along with so many other poorly made pencils force the kids to keep sharpening their pencils when the lead falls out frequently. Most of them had similar recommendations so I decided to purchase a few different brands to see which ones worked best for us. And so far we have been really happy with the quality of each of the following types that we tried.
-Write Dudes USA Gold Premium Cedar No. 2. (Great all around pencil)
-Write Dudes USA SIlver Wooden #2 (Great all around pencil)
-Staedtler Rally Graphite #2 (Top notch)
-General Pencil Company Cedar Pointe No. 2 Pencil (Very well priced and still great quality)
-Paper Mate 12 Count #2 Mirado Black Warrior Lead Pencils, Medium Soft (Great pencils, nice darker color)
I'd purchase any of the above again as long as they continue to make them the same way. I found a few other reviews by teachers who recommended others, but those few were in a much higher price range. Keeping it in a realistic price range the above 5 pencils are awesome. They write well and the lead does not break every two minutes. Perfect for keeping kids focused while doing their school work.
As for sharpening, I didn't experience anything special. Half of them came out uneven, but of course I used a junky disposable school sharpener. I've yet to test it with a higher quality sharpener. I'll update this review once I test it out.
While it doesn't sharpen to a fine point like I hoped, it does sharpen quickly. The wood is soft enough that just a turn or two in pencil sharpener resharpens it. The lead is also very soft - the pencil requires to be sharpened frequently as a consequence. I can't draw for more than 10 minutes without having to sharpen again. The good thing about it having soft lead is not much pressure is necessary to get it to perform. For every bad aspect, there is a good one that makes up for it, vice versa.
So if this pencil was characterized a 'warrior' as its name entitles, it would be a nimble warrior, such as a samurai wielding a katana. Just like that sword - this pencil is sleek, delicate, and doesn't remain sharp long - but fulfills its purpose efficiently and effortlessly while it lasts.
As another reviewer mentioned - they're much better than your typical school pencil - I find them ideal for quick and basic sketching/shading. They're more comfortable to grip since they're round, and I love they're black - they look really nice.
I recommend them so long as you already have a decent sharpener, and plan to have them right next to these pencils at all times.
