    A very comfortable Reuleaux triangle-shaped pencil! A new addition to my list of favorite pencils.

    A very comfortable Reuleaux triangle-shaped pencil! A new addition to my list of favorite pencils.
    I've had very good luck with these. They triangular-ish shape makes them comfortable to hold and as a bonus, the paint covering it is oh-so-soft. These pencils have that coating that is sort of velvety-feeling--I remember some products like cell phone covers that had this texture some years ago. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I found that the pencil sharpener works just fine. Bonus: the shavings created when sharpening the semi-triangular (technically a Reuleaux triangle--Google it!) shape are super cool looking!If you're looking for a slightly larger, durable, comfortable pencil produced by a very well regarded manufacturer, definitely give them a try. (P.S. A major chain of home improvement stores (blue, not orange) also carry these.)

    These pencils were the first pick at first for correcting a pencil hold, but if a lot of correction is needed a different tool may be needed. However, these are still number one choice where a lot of correction is not needed and more support is required Or, just a more comfortable grip compared to the round pencil is desired since the shape is a lot easier to use than the round pencils. The pencils are comfortable (not as comfortable as the original Ticonderoga soft-touch, but still softer than most pencils) and easy to use. The size, shape, and the sturdiness of the pencil is great! The eraser is one of the best I have ever used. The sharpener does work, but it does take some practice and some resharpening at times. So, your pencil can be used up quicker than normal. It does seem to depend sometimes on the pencil that you pull out of the box; some are easier than others. I also have other sharpeners that it works well with and you don't have to do that with. Overall, a good product!

    Someone asked me when I was telling them to buy this pencil what was so special about a pencil. Well - This pencil rocks. It rocks so much, that not only am I buying multiple packs for myself but also to give out as gifts to several new college students as upcoming Christmas gifts! The barrel is not too large that it feels bulky but is larger than most standard pencils. The grip is so comfy with a matte rubbery finish. It feels so strong and sturdy. I go through one pencil every couple of days and in the 1st week of school I purchased a number of different pencils including the regular black Ticonderoga which I loved as well but have been knocked to 2nd place since finding theses. I have used Dr.P pencils which are great however, once I got this bad boy in my hands I was hooked! Although automatic pencils are more economical in the long run this pencil is completely worth the investment. My hands do not cramp up using this pencil, nor do I get the calused fingers from regular pens/pencils. Also it's kinda cool for me because I work while on the couch and when I put the pencil on the pad it doesn't roll around because of it's triangular shape which seems like it would be akward to write with but is not even noticable. I also have many sharpeners under my belt and the $2.59 from Staples is excellent for this and all other penci sharpening needs.

    Dysgraphia is when the child struggles with writing. These pencils are triangular which makes for less cramping in the hand. They are also thicker than most #2 pencils, which makes it better for finger placement. In fact I as a mom really enjoy writing with these pencils also. We only have this style pencil in our house. I know I am a pencil snob. But they really help, and they are great for school. I even think they sharpen better than other brands. Other brands seem not to sharpen to a point all the way or the lead breaks easy... Some of the cheaper brands have an eraser that leaves that pink smug on the paper or rips the paper. These have a great eraser and seem to last long because you don't have to use as much to get the job done. I feel these pencils are worth the price.

    The Tri-Conderoga 22500 is very comfortable to the hand.

    However it is also too wide to fit into many pencil sharpeners -- I have 6 sharpeners - manual and electric - in the house; and it would fit into none of them.

    Luckily a sharpener is included in the box. However it results in a very shallow point. In other words, you need to sharpen more often than a normal pencil.

    Also I noticed that when I use the included sharpener, I end up with a point that includes a slice of wood. This might be due to the 3-sided design, or to the lead not being correctly centered; or to my not putting equal force on the sharpener on all sides.

    The result is a pencil which is not particularly good for long writing sessions - especially not in an office or school environment where sharpening is just an interruption to your chain of thought.

    Lastly, I found that the lead was slightly crumbly - more like a carbon-based drawing pencil than a smooth writing pencil.

    Pro:
    These pencils incredibly comfortable to use. I call them freaky, perspective-shifting pencils because when I pick one up it reminds me of my 9-year olds face when she picked one up. It looked familiar to her, but when she picked it up she immediately knew her life had been forever changed. She approves of them as well, and even asked why all pencils weren’t made this way. An answer to which I knew not. And now when I pick one up it causes me to contemplate all the things I don’t know, and a desire to learn more.

    In addition to provoking the desire to contemplate the sheer vastness of the body of knowledge available to us as humans these pencils can be used to write!

    Oh triangular pencils is there anything you can’t do?

    Cons:
    The sharpener that comes with them sucks, however I use it to get them started then use a bit of sandpaper to get it where I want. This is a temporary fix while I await a new sharpener.

    Love these pencils - my autistic son will only use these, as the pencil grasp is so much easier.
    Only wish a traditional pencil sharpener would work - it does not, due to the triangular shape, so once one is lost, it is truly gone.
    I wonder if this seller will ever make a bulk purchase price... would like to buy 100/time, as I go through about 200/yr in our family alone.
