How do Mirado Black Warriors compare to black Dixon Ticonderoga's and the Palomino Blackwing?

I gave up on Tigonderoga's pencils long ago when i discovered that they would never sharpen evenly due to the leads within not being placed directly in the center. It has been a very long time since purchasing them. Perhaps they have improved. Mirado, however, never lets me down. I am not familiar with the Palomino. Best to you in your purchasing decisions!

If they don't advertise specific color I have always seen them black. The long action BDL should be the right one for swing out plate magazine

I have not used the Dixon Ticonderoga pencil, so I cannot make a comparison. I will say that the General Pencil Company Cedar Pointe No. 2 is a good quality pencil with a nice eraser and it is also made in the USA, which I really appreciate.

I preordered the Maya. I really like the graphite black frame, and besides I always like to be a little unique! http://www.pishposhbaby.com/uppa-baby-vista-maya-limited-edition.html . I think the picture is pretty clear on it too.

the black one (classic) is a much less sturdy/rigid model--I would say it is made for those who cannot tolerate as much pressure/pain. the blue model is more hard/rigid/sturdy and therefore applies more pressure/force/pain when using. i purchased both and gave the black one to my wife. i do not know why the company uses different photos without explanation. if you ordered the classic, you will get the black one. marketers should have explained this--company mistake.

I found the Black Diamond to be superior in appearance. The quality is somewhat better however both are excellent tops.

I haven't tried the 602 yet, but I believe they are more of a B or 2B value as I've read from other reviews. The regular Blackwings are a better bet for they are softer and are more of a 4B or 6B.

The snarl is the thickest. Never seen an izula in person. Minimalist is most hand filling length. From what I here blade metals r so good now, thickness is a non issue. Regardless, I changed to a sog snarl last month from the spew. Carry it horizontal belt buck weak hand draw. Love it.

I personally like the satin finish. You will be able to see the lines where the VG10 steel is laminated with the other steel. It's quite beautifully to see if you into that sort of thing. However, it's really up to the individual who's buying and what they're preferences are. If you are buying this knife for tactical purposes for yourself or someone in the Armed Forces, you should get the black one.

I dont own one but from the reviews on YouTube, samurai Pegasus is one high speed bey. And been part of the synchrome system, you can replace the plastic wheel, with a secondary warrior(metal) wheel. As for quality, Takara Tomy is the best in the beybusiness. It really comes down to your play style. Like me personally, I'm a defense player with the offensive edge. Hope that helps

I purchased the titanium because I have cast iron and it works beautifully. Can't speak about the black ones, but the other answer offers an opinion.

Should be the same. Black works with most color schemes and is more popular.

They both have good steel. The first uses VG-1 steel which has a very hard core, the second uses AUS8A which is very slightly less hard. Pick the one in your price range, with the color you like. One caveat many black blades get marred with use and the inner steel shows through.

I did not notice any difference in durability after half a year of pretty hard work with both of them. But I do feel a difference in torque: not the maximum, which seems to be more or less the same, but the brushless driver is much harder to work carefully with. It feels digital: one or zero, on or off. The non-brushless driver can be run fast or slow, depending on the strength of your index finger, but that doesn't work very well with the brushless one.

I have both the black and dark gray. They look true black to me. So far, no fading from washing and the pocket flaps stay flat. I usually wear black or FDE khakis, especially when I am in country. But they look like crap after several cycles through the wash and the pocket flats tend to curl, requiring a lot of ironing. So I switched to these TRU-SPECs and I've been happy since. I like the rip-stop material also.
