Non-porous Ceylon graphite cores are dense and durable. The core is "Carbo-Welded" to withstand four times the normal point pressure. The specially treated cedar wood casings sharpen easily. Pencils are pre-sharpened.

Set of 4 — Includes HB, 2B, 2H, and one ebony layout pencil, plus a plastic eraser.

Set of 10 — Includes 8B, 6B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, 2H, and 4H pencils, plus a plastic eraser and a sharpener.

Package of 2 — Save on purchases of the most popular grades, available in carded packages.

HB is Best for Writing

By JamesP

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about General's Kimberly Drawing Pencils:

Oddly, I don't use these for drawing - I use the HB for writing. I tried a bunch of different brands, including the fabled Blackwing reissue (both the BW and the 602) and the Kimberly HB wrote the smoothest while maintaining a good point and making a dark enough line. Close second was the Tombow Mono HB.

I can't comment on the other grades for drawing, but for writing in your notebook, the Kimberly HB feels nice and smooth and is a pleasure to write with.

Comments about General's Kimberly Drawing Pencils:

I work with 9H pencils, doing concepts and initial penciling prior to scanning and painting. I ordered a box of 12 Kimberly Drawing pencils online from Dick Blick since it seems to not be one of the more fast-selling pencil grades. The pencils are marked 9H but the lead is pretty much HB or 2H, smudgy and useless for my purposes. I did doublecheck with several of my artist coworkers and they all agreed that the lead was HB-2H grade. I am going to have the company I work for return them for another brand of 9H pencils. Very disappointed with Kimberly, their quality control and will avoid this brand in the future

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Save Your Money for Better Pencils

By The Literary Artist

from California

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about General's Kimberly Drawing Pencils:

I purchased these pencils when I was a freshman in college for an art class because my instructor wanted each student to have pencils in varying degrees of hardness. I couldn't find my favorite artist's pencils in all the degrees she wanted us to have so I bought a set of these pencils. Compared to my favorites, the leads in these are very scratchy and as the class moved on I actually stopped using them entirely.
