Mitsubishi Pencil Co., Ltd. 9800 pencil dozen (12 pieces) HB K9800HB (japan import)

I discovered Mitsu-bishi pencils a few years ago and instantly fell in love with them. The writing experience is smooth as the lead glides across the page almost like pencil costing many more times the cost of these pencils (looking at you, Blackwing, you pricey other woman I can't let go) I try to have a box of these pencils, buying more when I run low. I tend to give them out to artist friends who have not experienced the quality of these pencils. They are a fantastic wooden pencil that always seem to sharpen perfectly with great lead at a great price. These Japanese pencils are what you should get if you miss the quality and excellence of American made pencils from years ago. The other 98xx pencils like the 9850 and 9852 are also a joty to write with

These premium pencils were EXACTLY what I was looking for when upgrading from the cheap yellow ones that don't sharpen well and tend to break. Easily my favorites! I've been buying these pencils year after year for both my note-taking during class and traditional drawing (where consistency is important for value gradation), so I thought to finally leave a review after so long, haha. They glide well, sharpen well (no weird wood splintering, lead is always centered), and are very satisfying to use! Not to mention affordable for the quality: think about all the sharpening hassle and wrist pain you'll avoid... I always keep a couple of my trusty Dark Green Pencils in my backpack alongside my sharpener and eraser. They don't come with erasers, but I actually prefer it that way! You ever use a pencil whose eraser was completely used up or, worse, has a bad one that smears the graphite? Awful. I don't like using those eraser caps either, so these make sure I always have my high quality eraser on hand. (I use the Hi-Polymer Pentel blocks; they erase very cleanly!)

The Mitsubishi 9800 is an excellent hi-quality pencil that writes smooth with a strong point.

These are my favorite pencils, and I'm so glad that I thought to buy them on Amazon. The lead almost never breaks (and I still struggle not to hold my pencils with a death-grip), the pencils sharpen quickly and flawlessly, and the very smooth and consistent writing makes it easy to write for extended periods of time. Perhaps most importantly, writing doesn't smear as easily as it does with other pencils, but despite that they still erase easily. I'm a graduate student studying mathematics (with quite a bit of philosophy along with it), and I've been working up handwritten drafts of both papers and problem sets since I was an undergrad. Now that I've begun doing legitimate research, I can attest to their ability to produce diagrams as well as I could wish. I'm all the more grateful that it's easy to buy writing instruments which make my life so much easier. I never thought that I'd be the sort of person who writes pencil review on Amazon, but I really could not recommend them highly enough.

Love the pencils, excellent quality and worth spending a couple of bucks more - Made in Japan speaks for itself even if it something as simple and basic as a lead pencil

If all you've ever had are Golden Bears or Ticonderogas, these will be a treat. They're very smooth, make clear marks, and feel good to use. They aren't as cheap, but they're also straight and sharpen easily with well centered leads and quality graphite.

What more can I say? It's a writing pencil that I also use for drawing, it's dark, it writes and draws smoothly, it sharpens well, the lead is centered, and it's way better than the overpriced Blackwing. Also it has a lovely deep dark green colored paint job which I thought was black but it ain't. Love all Mitsubishi pencils tbh, but this is my fave.

These are nice pencils. They do not come with erasers and need a bit more sharpening than some of the generic No. 2 pencils you find in the US. Remember the HB designation is an equivalent but may not be exact. However, it is well made, feels nice in the hand and is used all the time without problems. These are decent cheap pencils (if you know pencils you know there are far more expensive ones out there) but perhaps entry level is a better word. I'd recommend them to a person looking for something better than Ticeronderoga or the the awful Staples pencils. Whilst these Mistubishi are not our favourite by any stretch of the imagination, they are far superior to the two previous mentioned brands.

Code barre de l'étui de 12 crayons Mitsubishi 9800 : 4 902778 002629, du crayon : 4 902778 99035. J'ai reçu les 12 crayons dans un étui simple de carton, fin mais solide. Chaque crayon mesure environ 17.60 x 0.75 cm et n'est pas taillé (Cf. photographies client). De forme hexagonale, le crayon est en bois vernissé. Il est agréable en main et se prête à une bonne qualité de taille. La mine graphite n'est pas trop grasse. Elle glisse bien sur le papier, procure une sensation particulière de douce tendreté, sans pour autant s'effriter, s'écraser, encore moins casser (de l' expérience d'une main plutôt légère). A titre comparatif, le trait du Staedtler Lumograph H.B. est moins intense, plus homogène, ferme, net et précis. Je le trouve assez performant pour l'écriture : un peu plus ferme, il glisse bien, nécessite des affûtages moins fréquents. L'intensité d'un Lumograph B. se rapproche d'un 9800 H.B. J'ai voulu explorer d'autres mines, par curiosité et tout en recherchant un rapport qualité-prix raisonnable. Moyennant six euros vingt la douzaine, le 9800 répond à ces critères. Sa conception, l'assemblage de ses matériaux sont de très bonne qualité.

I bought these pencils because someone suggested them on reddit and they are great. Awesome quality, write great and are much better than your average office store pencils.

安定の書きやすさ。さすがです。

Harika bir kalem. Mitsubishi kalitesi.

As an engineering student, I am continuously on the search for a cheap, smooth pencil. These pencils meet and exceed all my expectations. In fact, the only negative aspect I can think of is the lack of an eraser on the end. However, as I thought about it more, I understand why Mitsubishi made this decision. I never use the attached eraser anyways, as they never do a good job. This lowers production costs and allows them to focus on making a better pencil, which they did. The lead is HB so you might not be able to get away with using it on standardized tests but it is perfect for homework, writing, drawing etc. Its tough but smooth and requires little effort to transfer to paper. It sharpens well and feels very sturdy in construction. A fine product that I heartily recommend!
