The Ticonderoga is the classic yellow #2 pencil, made from sustained-yield cedar with a 2.2 mm soft graphite core and a latex-free eraser. It is known for smooth, dark writing and graphite that sharpens cleanly without splintering, which is why it shows up in classrooms, test rooms and offices. Compared with bargain pencils, it holds a point longer and breaks less often, though it costs more per pencil than generic store brands. It suits anyone who writes by hand daily, takes standardized tests or wants a pencil that survives a backpack.
