California Republic Prospector Triangular
(See product page)
- Handy triangular shape allows for a better, steadier grip.
- Bright green color (like the regular Prospector) makes pencil easy to see.
- Crisp, smooth basswood construction; sharpens like butter.
- Belongs to the California Republic "value" line — which means it is inexpensive, not cheaply made. A tube of 40 costs only $8.95. It is a pencil you’d love to use, but wouldn’t be afraid to give away.
- The line is smooth, but not very dark — A Palomino or a Mongol 482 is much darker.
- Though not as attractive as the hexagonal Prospectors, these pencils do maintain the thick, glossy veneer that is California Republic’s trademark.
- Overall: 3.5 out of 5 points
