I’ve always wanted to try these pencils, being an avid consumer of Staedtler products and hearing how these are as ubiquitous in schools in Europe as our yellow #2 Ticonderogas. They’re technically not sold by Staedtler North America as of this review, so, off I went to Amazon to buy some.If you’re looking for a great writing pencil, you won’t be disappointed with these, if you prefer a slightly harder HB than a Japanese or American pencil (but not scratchy). They also differ from most American pencils in that the standard Noris model (this one), has a lacquer dipped end cap like the Lumograph, or comparable Faber-Castell pencils (9000, Goldfaber), instead of a ferrule and eraser. It’s more common in Europe, and easily is a non-issue if you have a block eraser like the Mars Plastic or Rasoplast lying around (as a designer, I have…plenty of them).The quality of manufacturing is the same as all the other Staedtler pencils made in Germany, which is to say well painted and foiled perfectly.The thing that knocked the review from 5 to 4 was in how the pencils were packaged. The listing says “Box of 36”, as well as “3 boxes”, which, makes you assume they are going to come in Staedtler’s original packaging of 12. However, the seller I bought them from had actually placed them in a bulk package (taped paper bag). As a result, there was enough space in the bag for the pencils to rattle around during shipping, and about a quarter of them lost their pre-sharpened points. Hopefully the lead inside is still intact, otherwise I’ll be editing my review further.
