How do Mirado Black Warriors compare to black Dixon Ticonderoga's and the Palomino Blackwing?

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!

Is yours that black and more of a shiny chrome? I don't think the black and gray would look good. Go with an all black set of grips. I have the black and gray grips on a custom painted Springfield Operator that's black. They look awesome. But the dark gray against that chrome, just don't see it.

I don't get it. Mine are awesome. The color, fit, texture all top notch. I've had them on the same 1911 build since I received them. I also wanted a set of black on OD green but accidentally order them the opposite, The customer service was great, I set the set back, it was corrected, No problems. I'm sorry and shocked to hear of your experience.

I think the black one takes higher heat of a BBQ. The company does have a web site explaing their various products.

I did not notice any difference in durability after half a year of pretty hard work with both of them. But I do feel a difference in torque: not the maximum, which seems to be more or less the same, but the brushless driver is much harder to work carefully with. It feels digital: one or zero, on or off. The non-brushless driver can be run fast or slow, depending on the strength of your index finger, but that doesn't work very well with the brushless one.

The saddle that goes under your arm, more adjustability settings & the ergonomic handle. I believe they are a tad bit more slender as well. You can NOT go wrong with The ultras. I was on them for 3 months. They truly made a difference.

The pattern is so close that you would not notice any difference. I did a lot of looking at other brands and the Bushwacker is (by far) the best match.

Hard to really compare the those 2 knives. I will start by saying I own both Spyderco and ZT. I have a Spyderco Native, Pacific Salt, Manix 2, and Byrd Cara Cara 2 g10, Byrd Hawkbill. So, I like what I like, I'm not a brand hater. That being said I like the ZT 0350 better. I fits my needs better. More of a working fit, with edc carrying capabilities. I like bigger knives better. I like the weight feels right too me. I like the blade size better. It's a wide, thick blade, not too long so when I need to work up on the tip of the blade it feels better, not too long. Plus it's American made. In short Spyderco Police 3 - majors in reach (great long knife, over a 4 inch blade). Good self-defense knife Minors in work (blade is long and thin, hard to work up on the knife). I would be afraid I would break the tip. Good intimidation factor. ZT 0350ts - Majors in work (great user length knife, solid wide blade.) I like the weight Minors in reach ( not a super long knife 3 1/4", fast deployment though, handle shape is really easy to grip) I like the ergonomics. Tiger stripe gets a wow a lot so far.I think it sets it apart from all my silver or black knives. ZT 0350 TS is better (in my opinion)

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.

I would say it's more black than grey, like a gunmetal grey. It looks absolutely stunning, in my opinion.

Should be the same. Black works with most color schemes and is more popular.

Palomino has a Number 2 pencil, it is blue. The mark made by the Blackwing is certainly dark enough to be read by the machines scoring standardized tests, but it is not a number 2 pencil, and as a teacher, I go with the blue - better safe than sorry.

I have both and they are equally good. The main positive for the Copic are the brush nibs. But you can buy brush nibs for the Spectrum Noir. Spectrum Noir is an excellent marker.

I used to tell the lady who orders my office supplies "Dixon Ticonderoga #2, No exceptions." Now, I tell her "Palomino Blackwing 602, No Exceptions". I find it a better pencil to write and erase with, but opinions vary.

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.

Sorry Bill, I got the black model. I'm afraid I cannot answer your question. Gil
