I did this and none of my pencils broke; even the ones that I made too sharp for my liking

But I'm really starting to get very angry about how often these and other types of Prismacolor pencils break when I'm simply trying to sharpen them

I knew that hard core pencils break easily

If you don't understand what I mean... the lead in these pencils break easily, especially while it's still in the pencil

3 of the pencils break when I try to sharpen

These are the only pencils my fiancée uses and she loves them.

The first box I sent back because the first 4 pencils out of the box just kept breaking as I sharpened and the wood wasn't smooth as I sharpened.

These are the only pencils my fiancée uses and she loves them.

The tips don't break as easily as with some brands, and the color variety gives a wide array of color and shade choices

these are very good, I like them to color in tiny spaces as well as for outlining.

It does not hold together well (as in maybe poor adhesive?), the cores were broken when delivered and as a result I've had to sharpen quite a few of these over half way down the length of the pencil just to get a point that doesn't simply fall the hell out

Sometimes I'm hesitant to order online because if their dropped, they'll crack and continue to break as you sharpen them

I would not recommend these for children as you could very easily lose a lot of money compared to crayolas, but if you're a seasoned artist with a semi-decent grip then go for it

I like the feel of them in my hands as well, not as if I am going to break them, but sturdy for such thin precision

In the end only 6 of the pencils last and worked as they should

I’m obsessed with adult coloring and these are amazing for very small intricate spaces, always makes it possible to shade those small spaces as it doesn’t lay down so much color at once

The tip doesn't get as sharp as I would like it too
