You just sent me into a pencil fetish wormhole. I used to really like the Mirado Black Warrior but last time I picked a pack up they didn't seem as good as they used to be. Thanks to the wormhole I realize that's probably because they aren't as good as they used to be. People say the same about the Ticonderoga. I never liked Triconderogas near as much as the Black Warriors. My wife came in and found me browsing pencils.com. She laughed at me and said maybe I can splurge for a pack of Palomino Blackwings with our tax return.
So long as you're spending too much on pencils and too much on shipping, splurge on the sharpener. Or, next time I'm in Portland I'll bring you a few.
