My new favorite pencil
Pictured above and below, it's the Dixon Tri-Conderoga.
Three sides, fat, and ever so pleasant to hold, with a silky black "soft-touch" finish.
Writes like a dream.
Bonus: extra-large triangular eraser.
Bonus #2: eraser is latex-free.
Bonus #3: very cool, elegant and stealthy looking, especially with the label side down and no visible markings.
One negative: It's so large it doesn't fit in my Panasonic battery-powered pencil sharpener but instead requires using the hand-held sharpener with a suitably large orifice (top two photos) that comes with a box of the pencils.
Small price to pay for delight this immense.
12 for $4.31 (bespoke sharpener included).

I should think holding it might take some getting accustomed to considering its triangular girth. Or am I wrong? And out of curiosity, how is the sharpener shaped (innard wise) to accommodate the unusual shape?
