Dixon - Oriole Pencils
Strong bonded lead resists breakage through countless sketches and rewrites
Cores that survive drops, pressure, and the sharpener without snapping inside the barrel. Number 2 hardness delivers the medium darkness schools require while erasing cleanly when you need corrections.
That bright yellow lacquer isn't just traditional aesthetics, it's a durable finish that withstands the abuse pencils endure in backpacks, desk drawers, and daily use. The wood sharpens smoothly without splintering, maintaining a clean point whether you're using a handheld sharpener or an electric model. These pencils write with consistent density from first stroke to final stub.
Oriole pencils handle everything from standardized testing to everyday writing and sketching. Students get reliable performance for essays and exams. Artists use them for preliminary sketches where erasability matters. The bonded construction means the lead keeps writing until you've sharpened the pencil down to nothing, maximizing value from every unit.
