are these charcoal pencils

No they are not. These are Blending tools for charcoal and graphite. They are wrapped paper and blend very good for creating smooth textures.

No, they are not. I wish I had asked that question before I bought them, because they did not work for my craft project.

The Palomino Blackwing pencils are indeed black; it is the Palomino Blackwing Pearl pencils that are white. These pencils are wonderful.

I guess they could be considered a very, very dark charcoal color. But, I just looked and they look black to me, just as they are pictured!

They're very nice, although possibly not really worth the additional cost over a box of Ticonderoga #2s. But if you can afford a treat for yourself, you will enjoy them. They sharpen just fine with any "real" pencil sharpener, but I wouldn't use one of those little plastic school sharpeners. If you have a real pencil sharpener handy, I'd skip the long point sharpener and get the box of additional erasers instead.

I would think they are. Definitely straight and smooth, not like the free ones from the paint store. Life is grand!

The title mentions "carbon." The description calls them "charcoal." Isn't charcoal carbon? This is a steal at the quoted price.

I do have an old one with glossy black paint witch says USA On the barrel. These have a matte black finish on them and don't specify USA I'm assuming they're not made in America and I have noticed lesser quality in the wood, the paint, eraser and graphite. Still a solid pencil. But not the original quality

Yes, they would be considered a "grease" pencil, with replaceable "leads". IMO: they are great!

I would think so. They should be the same pigment as the other pencils, just more of it. But it needs to come from the company to be sure.

The sharpener is not why I ordered. The new brow pencils are to dark and smeary. That's why I looked, and found the old pencil. This one always seems to be sharp enough for me

These are high end artists pencils. I've been using the Prismacolor brand for over 30 years. More color choices is always better, but you can still achieve any desired color you need through layering of different color pencil combinations with a smaller set.

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.

Probably not. These fit the standard #2 pencil - not the "fat" pencils used for younger children.

I do remember the ones with the pencil sharpeners in them...these don't have it....I wondered why they stopped making them....I don't think the picture shows them with sharpeners?

It's not charcoal, but I have other pens that aren't erasable that are darker black. It's like the color a black t-shirt is after it's been washed a lot.

Yes, they are of high quality and have been a great product. I got my set a few years ago and haven't needed to sharpen them yet.
