三菱鉛筆 B. Toys Mitsubishi Pencil with Pencil Eraser 9850 Hardness HB K9850HB

Hands down, the best pencil I've ever used. Dark lines, good point retention, good eraser, perfectly centered core. Also, looks and feels way more expensive than it is.

Excellent Quality! Made in Japan

The media could not be loaded. The Mitsubishi 9850 gets a lot of love from pencil experts. When I began collecting, I did not fully appreciate it as tends to happen when one meets a top model too early in their journey. The two Japanese HB (equivalent to a No.2 pencil in USA) pencils that appears on most pencil experts favorites list are this one and the Tombow 8900 (available in 3 grades, no eraser). A few years into collecting, it’s plain to see why they are tops.Is the 9850 as good as the Uni or Hi-Uni? Not to my hand and I’m not a believer that more expensive is better, but in this case it indicates a higher quality graphite core. Is it worth paying 3x more per pencil? Like everything else in life, it depends on one’s needs, preferences, and priorities.It’s feasible that some pencil users, certainly in the USA, might prefer the built in eraser of the 9850 that does not exist on standard Uni and Hi-Uni. Moreover, it may be preferred by writers who value longevity and superb point retention. The core may be a bit waxy for those who prefer a buttery blackwing core, but the trade off there is point retention from that soft graphite.Take a peek at the video and images of before and after to see the point barely wore down at the end of the page. Even if it doesn’t check your boxes for function, it may for form. It is a fine looking pencil with sleek hexagonal burgundy barrel and contrasting white eraser. A lovely addition to any desk.

I was about to buy the very expensive Blackwing pencils and read a review on these, so decided to try a box first. Very pleased with these pencils. The wood is fine enough to sharpen nicely and the writing is smooth and dark. Excellent gliding feel on paper. I'm happy with these and glad to not spend the extra money. I use external erasers anyway, so don't need the fancy rectangular ones on the other pencils.

This is a great pencil. They are well balanced, gives dark lines and lead doesnt break. Never would have imagined that I'd be singing the praises of a pencil - but here we are. Purchased for my kid becuase her pencil lead kept breaking immediately after sharpening and these held up well. The darkness of the lead and the slightly thicker barrel helped her to learn to write and she asks for these pencils exclusively now. They feel different from other #2 pencils from Target or Ticonderoga - just a bit heaftier, just enough to make writing sessions more comfortable and less taxing. These exceeded my expectations. Worth the price.

MITSU-BISHI 9850 quality is on par with the much heralded BLACKWING. The cedar wood is excellent and the graphite is buttery smooth. The deep maroon laquer and white eraser are classy, everyone will envy you.

This, along with Tombow’s version (2558) are both excellent pencils to write with. As enjoyable as Blackwing 602 (imo) at a much better value. Keeps a tip much longer, as well.Also, check out the Mitsubishi pencil sharpener - outstanding sharpener
