Sanford Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils 24/Pkg-Verithin

As much as they are nice vibrant colours as you can see from the photo this is the first time I sharpened them all & a lot of them wouldn't stop breaking, I've since bought some Faber castell Polychromos & I think they are miles better

When I tried to sharpen all of the red pencils (5 out of 12) the leads kept snapping. This has meant I don't have any verithin red color.I was extremely careful and tried different sharpeners including an electric one purely for coloured pencils and a manual "prismacolor " pencil sharpener.

Awful pencils, broken all through. Lost most from sharpening them, every time lead would snap. Seriously not impressed, as you can see from photo, I've lost a 3rd of a few pencils in a few days

One star for softness...because it’s supposed to be a hard pencil. Great for outlining finished drawings and highly recommended by many botanical artists.

These are the Verithin pencils. Good, strong colours, though the olive green and the grass green are almost identical. They sharpen well and don't wear down easily.

Great pencils - love them.

Good quality pencils except sadly one snapped in half when sharpened totally . The presentation case was very awkward to create to enable pencil to be selected and stored.

Recently purchased this item from amazon, overall am pleased with pencils, however some of the colours Leave a lot to be desired.For example the Poppy Red is actually orange in colour, Overall I would have expected better quality of colour for the price I paid.
