Very thorough and informative comparative test of so many graphite pencils brands. Curious if you have had the chance of trying a Mitsubishi Hi-Uni yet which would be at the same level or above a Tombow Mono 100.

What about ebony pencils, have you found any of those that worked better for you?

innnnteresting! well he’s definitely off to a great start, with the palominos! i’m hooked as is, and pretty excited to see what they come out with this year! having never used an old blackwing i don’t have that frame of reference but i might break down and get one just to do a pencil shootout with the palomino.

In his response Miked references Faber-Castell’s black Polychromos pencil. Polychromos are colored pencils, so the black Polychromos may contain black pigment. Not sure, but it may not be a normal graphite pencil like the ones you test here.

Woodchuck of California Republic and Palomino fame holds the rights to the Blackwing name. It is rumored and wildly hoped that he intends to make a modern Blackwing.

not worried in the least! the palomino 2B is perfect for what i do! plus it totally held its own when comparing it to other brands’ 4 and 6 b’s and with less smudge, definitely my favorite pencil! thanks so much!!!!

Oh yeah. Our Palomino leads do run a bit softer than others at the same graphite grade name. If your worried about wear rate on the 2B you can step back to the B or HB.

Where the heck have I been. It took me 12 days to notice your review posted to our Palomino Riders fan page on Facebook. Thanks for the praise, look out for some new Palomino items comming out later in 2010 and “keep on sketchin”. Ride the Palomino!!!
