Also, I struggle to give people pencils. Since I'm in school, people always ask me for pencils. I always carry super cheap pencils for that reason, due to the great horrors people do to pencils. I also have a few Blackwings for my self, and let the occasional person use or have one.

As an American pencil enthusiast, it's not so much that Dixon Ticonderogas are boring (although my favorite Dixon pencil is the Oriole) as much as it's really hard to find non-super-fancy alternatives in most brick-and-mortars. I can get Generals over the internet. One can find store-brand pencils in most office supply places, but besides that it's mostly Dixon Ticonderogas--unless you're in an art supply shop buying drawing pencils. Even the pencils of my youth are hard to come by, if not extinct, lol.

In regards to the copier/aniline dye pencils, as long as the y don't lick them, they should be okay. Sharpen them into wet paper towel and throw it away. The dyes in the No-Blots was changed if it says "Sanford" on it and is no longer harmful.

Wood & Graphite Another great, inspirational video... The only thing is, "nice" stationery sits on the shelf and doesn't get used... functional stationary-- I would even say "high touch" pads where you can see the pencil leave a nice broad mark across the coarse texture of the paper, THAT'S Functional Stationary getting used, and the notebooks get beat up and curled and bent and used... just what I like. Let them keep their "nice" stationery for that long letter that they're never going to finish writing with that fountain pen that's sitting on the shelf all clogged.

For work and marking my cuts on aluminum it was the paper mate mirado classic #4 2H ( now discontinued) and I have yet to find a suitable replacement and am using some of my staedler art pencils. As far as the dixon ticonderoga goes I have found that the graphitte core is off centre giving me a nice sharp wood tip " best pencil in the world " my ass. Keep up the good work I love nerding out on the seemingly simple things in life.
