Well, if it’d been a Palomino or Lumograph,then I’d have been scared. But as is . . . nah.

Actually looks like it’s a plastic pencil and not wood cased to me.

I think you’re right. The idea of a plastic yellow pencil had never occurred to me but I got hold of one at work. It was the weirdest thing, sharpening it. And it had the worst lead I’ve ever encountered. I left it back by the copier. :)

You all are missing the point (no pun intended) If it could happen to a pencil like that, it could happen to a Prospector or (gods forbid) a Palomino. Think of the horror! I’m instituting a strict curfew on all my pencils to ensure this doesn’t happen to them ;-)

You’re write (!), Woodchuck. I thought it was that weird wood they use for the American Classic/American Naturals. Upon closer inspection, it does appear to be plastic. I feel less sad seeing it that way, now:)

Cyberlizard is correct: if this could happen to a plastic pencil, happen to the best kind.

I find myself alarmed.

I never keep Palominos, Faber-Castells, etc. anywhere where they can be seized and tortured to tell their secrets. I carry them with me in a pencil box, stash them in my pencil bunker, or they can stay in my special pencil cup on the desk at home.

While the sacrificed pencil was only a cheap plastic one, I think this serves as a warning to Comrades everywhere that all pencils are vulnerable to such violence and that we should guard our wooden warriors with the sharpest sharpeners.

LMAO! About 5 years ago I had a manager that always used pencils like that. ;-)

I would like to know where I can find these plastic pencils. I have searched and searched. HELLLLP. I love plastic pencils.
