are these pencils the same quality as before?

I don't know what these were before, but I can say that of the several brands that I have tried recently, these were the best. They sharpen the best and they actually have erasers that work.

I hadn't noticed,but they are a good set. I've had two sets and bought a set for my granddaughter. I'm not that thrilled with the box, but that wasn't your question. Most colored pencils don't have a 3mm core.

As far as I know, they are all the same. We purchased 4 of the red ones (for grand kids). At the time there was no indication of any quality differences by color.

Debra, I asked this question about a month ago. If you scroll through them you can take a look at what people had to say. The general consensus was that they were not knock offs anymore.

Pretty sure they are, but depending on his age i'd advise against them. Since the lead is so soft (note: normal yellow #2 pencil is HB, this is comparable to a 6B-B is soft H is hard), he's like to sharpen them a lot for a sharp point and would go through this expensive pencil rather quickly. That being said, the eraser is adjustable so it is great for frequent erasing. Everyday pencil: no, special occasion pencil: yes.

I can not tell you 100% as I have not seen them in a while since I purchased and I bought a bulk order, so only looked inside bag once when received. My wife uses them in 1st grade class. I think they are. Sharpen well and lead is good. Wife mentioned erasers do not stay in as well as some, but 1st graders are hard on any eraser. I hope I am right for your question. Sorry I do not know 100%.

Because it is like 7 bucks! Plus you get extra leads. These are very good pencils. I doubt if you would find anything comparable for the money.

its 12, but I wouldn't buy them. The last lot I had were really nice, with smooth lead and hard wood so they sharpened nicely, these ones are cheaper wood and the lead does write smoothly. i thought t was a deal because I like the black warrior pencils, but cant wait till these are used up and I can buy something else.

They are better than the ever sharp and Walmart knives but are not as thick as the original four star knives. These are four star two and the blades are thinner and lighter. I have a 16 year old four star 6" chefs knife and it is much better quality than these. Check out eBay and you may come across some original four star knives.

These are definitely a step up from Crayola. Good quality, lead doesn't break upon sharpening. Wood is smooth. I really like these pencils.

Yes, it is black pencils, but quality bad, too soft, leave traces on skin, it is difficult to undermine, start crumbling, I won't buy pencils from this company any more

no it has not affected the quality of the pencils. I use mine often and they work very well. Do get a good sharpner...if you dont use a quality sharpner you will ruin your pencil...hope that helps.

Sorry I don't know but the extra long don't last long. I won't buy them again. I have one with an extra hard rubber tip, but I don't know where I bought. It will last forever. The rubber tip fit over the pencil.

No, the new stuff is like a knock off. Much lighter and the quality is not there at all.

Im not sure but they are about the size and thickness of a regular pencil and even if they didn't fit they are still cheap but really nice pencils.

yes but......i have owned 2 of these sharpeners over the last few years and have found the quality has gone down hill.....i would not recommend it anymore........the first one i bought was great for a couple of years but when i replaced it the quality had gone down hill... the main problem was the abrasive material on the tines all fell off after the first use.
