Size:Tin of 120 with 5x7 Sketchbook Faber-Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils are widely considered to be the finest professional colored pencils on the market. The vegetable oil-based pencils exhibit a richness of color and smoothness that is unparalleled by any other brand, without the ugly wax bloom that develops with layering, like other popular brands on the market. The barrel houses a 3.8mm diameter, SV bonded lead that is both water-resistant and smudge proof, with the bonding providing breakage-resistance with accidental dropping or rough sharpening.

Wonderful colored pencils brand. Not so wonderful sharpener.
So I've had FB Polychromos for awhile, they're wonderful for their pigment, sturdiness, weight, fine details, etc. so I bought their full bundle so I can work with their colors more (with inclusion of Luminance pencils).The sharpener however was a different story, at first I was surprised at the design, it looked nice until I tried testing it out was it to shatter my expectations, I tried turning the knob around to no avail (it got stuck just from turning it. The opening to dump out the pencil shreds also got stuck after opening it once, not to mention it was hard closing the lid itself... Maybe it was cause the body of the sharpener was all plastic or/and my hand are too big for it work? Needless to say I had to throw it out since I couldn't get myself to work with it.So if you want to buy polychromos and have alittle more money to splurge on, get yourself the other sketchbooks with it Jerry's has to offer.Oh and Jerry's packaging is incredible as usual! Nothing was damaged.

Great birthday present
My granddaughter needed a color pencil set for art class. This one was the best and $60 cheaper than Staples.
