It's ups and downs
The up side of this mechanical pencil is the balance, grip and lead clincher.
The downside is there are no grooves on the sharpener for a quick pull out, like the older model which is my favorite. I found the opening very tight. The hard to read lead grade dial on the pocket clip is hard to read!

Excellent drawing pencils
As far as I know, this set of 22 pencils has the largest degrees of graphite made, and I had no trouble using even the 10H.
They are slightly larger in diameter than other sets although not noticeably larger, but they felt great in my hand and easier to use than the other big name sets. Anyone experiencing hand cramps from doing hours of tedious drawing and illustrations should definitely buy these pencils.
Another great feature is the graphite grade is stamped on all 6 sides, so there is no turning of the pencils when looking for the grade you need.
After running tests on the graphite, the lead doesn't wear down quickly, is easy to erase and I found no impurities in the graphite.
The paint job is impeccable and the beautiful stamping makes these pencils very attractive.
Overall, on a scale from 1-10, I'd give these pencils a 9 or 10. I just bought a second set!

Derwent Drawing Pencil Quality Poor
0 of 1 found this helpful The first thing I noticed about these pencils were how light they were when taken out of the tin. Before using and rating any new drawing pencil, the second thing I do is sharpen one which tells me about the quality of the wood and graphite.
On new blades, the wood splintered, and the lead was so gritty doing the gradation test on smooth paper, all this was too much. Plus, the paint job was cheap and if you want to know what grade of pencil you need, it has to be turned 180 degrees to find out.
I was so distraught with these pencils, I wrote Derwent a letter and dropped it in the mail to England. I donated these pencils to the nearest private junior high school.
