Perfect!
My husband is a writer and works in film and other areas. He writes screenplays, and does rewrites/reworks/notes on scripts brought to him. He also reads articles written by our global circle to give his opinion and/or ideas before they are published (this is noting). So, we both are informal editors. I edit his scripts, and am usually the one that proofs our friends' articles/work before we send it back to them and he edits what he sees as he reads. He also uses these for script and proof noting, both to his and others' scripts. Red notes one thing, blue notes another. We searched locally for these pencils. No one, not even office or art supply stores, had them. In fact, not one employee I spoke with at all of the different stores even knew what I was talking about. Thank G-d for Amazon!These are awesome editing pencils! They are soft "lead" and write beautifully. They are delicate enough for very thin paper, and the colors deep enough to show up. You don't have to press/write hard to be able to easily read what you are noting or see what you are striking/correcting.I have not had one break on me. The "lead" holds up well. The only teeny tiny breaks I get is when they are newly sharpened to a fine point. When I first go to write, that tip of the fine point breaks off, but it's so tiny it's not a problem nor is it a bother. It's expected. In my experience, all colored pencils have a tendency to do that no matter the cost or the brand. Though, the tip of these don't break as much as, say, a crayola map pencil. The sharpened pencil lasts a good while too. I don't find myself sharpening them as much as the Ticonderoga pencils I was using. I was using their single color red and blue pencils. You had to press down hard to get a bolder color with those. These are not like that. They are great!I do not mind the $9 price tag on this box of 12 double sided editing pencils. They sharpen really well, and they last a long time on one sharpening. We will definitely be ordering a few more boxes of these. They are exactly what we needed! If you're looking for a double sided red/blue editing pencil, you will not be disappointed in these.

These are some of the best pencils to sketch with!
I absolutely love these pencils, I used it to practically a nub (still using it actually even though it's gotten so tiny). They are smooth, buttery, but you can also get defined line work with them as well. I use the red to sketch out my ideas and the blue side to tighten up the line work. I decided I might as well get the box because I will definitely go through them quickly.

Ten times as good as what I'm used to
I have dozens of wood-cased, red-and-blue editor's pencils, but they're all "vintage." The technology hadn't been perfected yet, so basically the red was pale, and the blue was VERY pale. They had to be, so the colored lead wouldn't crumble away in the sharpener.¶ These Mitsubishi ones are 10X better. You get some real saturation w/the colors. Picture a Faber-Castell colored pencil—or Prismacolor or whatever. That's what these Mitsubishis are like. But even so, you can sharpen ’em in a crank sharpener and they don't crumble.¶ I don't really "get" how you're supposed to use these for copyediting. If you were to write words with them, you would have to write pretty big. Just seems like a pen would be better (?). But for underlining, and for coloring-in little drawings, these Mitsubishis are perfection.

Great quality
Purchased these to mark up sheet music for study and performance. The “lead” is quite soft, so I do have to sharpen fairly often but the writeability is incredibly good.

Excellent, wonderful pencils! - all you’ll ever need.
I’m 70 years old and have been using pencils for probably about 67 of them. I started collecting colored pencils in art school. I went through several gross of standard graphite pencils while working in printing for 40 years (Dixon Ticonderoga #1 were my faves). I still own countless graphite, colored and mechanical pencils, all the usual suspects and then some. Recently I tried Mitsubishi graphite #9850s and then these, Mitsubishi red/ blue #772s. Both are excellent, wonderful pencils in every way. If I had had these 50 years ago I could have saved myself a lot of obsession. Oh well.

Doesn’t erase very well but highly pigmented!
I use this very frequently for sketching and absolutely love it! Just keep in mind the pigments are kinda hard to erase and will leave marks behind. But if you are coloring or painting over it, you should be good.

You will be very pleased with these
I write with pencil almost exclusively and when I saw these I just had to have them. I didn't have to wait nearly as long as I anticipated because they arrived well before their projected due date and even though they came from halfway around the world, they arrived in pristine condition. The box is in perfect condition and these pencils are GORGEOUS! The thick, soft core is perfectly centered on every one of them and the embossing is a luxurious gold. More than a pretty face, these pencils perform very well. They sharpen to a respectable point and lay down a line smooth as butter and the color is striking.You will be very pleased to have these and you'll probably want to purchase extras as gifts which is exactly what I am going to do.No, I was not paid or compensated in any way for this review and I seldom write reviews but the excellent service from the vendor and the quality of merchandise deserves to be documented.
