Whats the difference between the Black Warriors and Mirado Classic Yellow pencils?

I believe the Classic Yellow has an angled barrel while I know the Black Warrior has a rounded one. Yes, that means it rolls off your desk easier, but I also find that it's more comfortable if I am going to be writing for awhile. I also think the matte black finish looks classier than glossy yellow, but that's subjective.

I've only used the Black Warriors. I can't imagine a better pencil than the Black Warrior but being round it does tend to roll. The Classic Yellows are hexagonal and won't roll. The diameter of the Black Warrior is slightly larger than a standard pencil. Overall the Black Warrior just feels right.

its 12, but I wouldn't buy them. The last lot I had were really nice, with smooth lead and hard wood so they sharpened nicely, these ones are cheaper wood and the lead does write smoothly. i thought t was a deal because I like the black warrior pencils, but cant wait till these are used up and I can buy something else.

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer. I do think the quality of their pencils is very good. I believe you can email the company directly by going to their sight and clicking on the "contact us" option.

On the model I received, it was black, matching the charcoal body of the pen. It is great to write with!

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!

It is more like a pencil as it has a thinner point, but the texture of a crayon. It has a sharpener at the other end. I've used this for years and can't find it in the stores anymore, so bought a bunch on Amazon.

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.

No, the prismacolor pencils I received were made in Mexico. They perform very well and the color are true.

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.

Pablo offers dry and permanent lead, they are water resistant and have cedar casing. Supracolor have soft watersoluble leads, can be used wet or dry, and have cedar casing also. Both are top of the line; Caran d'Ache is the Rolls Royce of color pencils.

I have quite a few different kind of colored pencils, most of them not very expensive. I like the woodless Koh-I-Noor pencils, which can be purchased by single pencil or in sets. They are easy to break if dropped; the "lead" tends to shatter. The colors are vibrant, and there are a good variety of colors available.

I think they're the same, only the wood used seems to be different. Both have the hard ceramic grinding mechanism which is corrosion resistant. The grind isn't perfectly even, but can be roughly adjusted from finer to larger by turning the dial on the bottom. We like the two colors because the kids like to handle them and it is easy to keep the salt and pepper apart. Very traditional mills otherwise.

Don't know the physical differences. Price on BLACK origami was less, as I recall. I had also seen my sister's on her Kindle HD Fire

I like it better than the Ticonderoga. I don't have a specific reason why. I haven't used the Mirado.

I'm not familiar with the Dixons. I do find the Generals to be excellent. They sharpen consistently and without much waste, they erase well, the erasers don't wobble, and the pencils feel smooth. I use the Generals.

There are two black tanks because it has two different types of inks used in each. PGI-220 - Pigment Black CLI-221 - Dye Black Dye-based black inks tend to be better for text printing, whereas pigmented black inks often are designed more to blend in graphics (photos). I don't believe you can specify which tank it uses for all black printing. What you are printing defines the tank used automatically.

I don't use colored pencils myself - I work in watercolors. These are for my kids as they have gotten older and enjoy colored pencils (they are all pretty artistic). I start them off young with Crayola and then go to Prismacolor. I have bought the Premier for them but they have been gifts at Christmas and I let them know these are not like Crayola and they have to take care of them. I found two links for you. Hope this helps! One is from a Blog: Just a Place for Cool Stuff http://pumibel.blogspot.com/2011/11/prismacolor-scholar-line-colored.html This is the other one. I found this on a Yahoo Canada Answers link: "The Premier is the artist quality and the Scholar is the student brand. The artist quality Premier is higher quality - they have more pigment and the pencils mix better as well. Source(s): Professional artist for a long time.
