Apsara Platinum Extra Dark Pencils 1 Pack X 10 Pencils + Eraser And Sharpner Free

Great for using on appointment books that take alot of erasing. Very bold dark color that stands up to lots of page turning.

I love these pencils!!!! They have a rich black slat color, the ability to get a fine line and I love the point cover.

A very nice pencil for writing. It is smooth to use and glides across standard paper. You can actually read what you write clearly as the pencil is dark enough to stand out. I gave a 4 star because it could be darker to stand out more. No idea if you can use for sketching because I purchased to be able to write with. My only draw back I am thinking could be my sharpener, however not certain, when I sharpen it there is a large 1 1/2 inch from griping position to end of point. I would rather that be less due to where I grasp the pencil. Maybe using a harder wood may enable a shorter grip to end of lead for more control.

I like these pencil because the lead is darker. When I do my letter boxes puzzles it is easier to see.

See for yourself: the top line is with an Apsara platinum "extra dark" pencil, and the bottom is a regular paper mate #2 mechanical pencil. I think the normal mechanical pencil even looks darker. Don't fall for their marketing scheme. Also, they didn't include an eraser or sharpener.

Smooth and dark, sharpens well, a good value. Seems a bit smoother than Nataraj Bold and Apsara Platinum. Compares well with General SemiHex No. 1 in smoothness and darkness. Not quite to level of Blackwing 602, but a fourth of the cost. Erases adequately but not quite completely on newprint, a little better on better paper, have not tried it on artist grade papers. Came in couple weeks, not bad for free post from India.

It’s such a good pencil, can’t make any bad comment about it.

Very nice set of 10 pencils, eraser and sharpener. Nice grip dark pencils, liked it.

Very good pencils for drawing as well as writing, smooth and dark

Qualité qu’on peut trouver dans chaque trait.

Diese Bleistifte sind sehr schön angenehm zum Zeichnen, aber "extra dunkel" sind sie nicht. Im Gegenteil. Ein herkömmlicher HB2 Schulbleistift schreibt dunkler als diese hier. Das Gemalte / Geschriebene lässt sich mit dem mitgelieferten Radiergummi restlos wegradieren und der ebenfalls mitgelieferte Anspitzer funktioniert tadellos. Drei Sterne gibt es für das gute Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, zwei Sterne Abzug für die nicht zutreffende Artikelbeschreibung.

It has a pencil sharpener that is great. Unlike the ones you get. The lead is smooth and dark as specified.

The pencils are high quality and flow smoothly on many different textures of paper. They are not quite as dark as I had hoped. Although it says they come with a free eraser and sharpener only the package of pencils arrived without anything else.
