Ticonderoga Noir Pencils lend a new look to our classic #2 pencil. Finished with an elegant holographic design that looks like crystal, Ticonderoga Noirs are made from premium stained black wood that will remain black when sharpened. These pencils are more than pretty. Our exclusive graphite core formula makes them great performers. High-quality, black, latex-free erasers result in smudge-free corrections. PMA certified non-toxic.
