My Pencil Collection 2016 | You Asked For It!

[@kimmern999]

New subscriber from Norway here. Great video, and I love your channel. I used to have pencil blog myself back in the day (around 2006 or so), and understand that we pencil fanatics belong to a rather small community world wide. That's why we need great KZbin channels like this one. Keep up the good work! :)

[@RixCanDoit]

Thanks Rusty. I was actually surprised to see the interest in pencils when I published my first pencil rant 1.5 years ago (Derwent Onyx). The interest and comments like yours motivates me to keep them coming!

[@nicowaferr]

6:28 My god! I used to use this pencil in school for the longest time. I found it on the carpet and thought it looked nice so I picked it up and started using it for like a year. Finally someone else who has it.

[@supermario2084]

This brought back memories! I use to use a few of those pencils when I was in high school and college. I had a pack of the Mirado Black Warrior pencils in high school. I wish I still had one. I also remember finding a used Staedtler Rally on the ground in college. I fell in love with it at first use! lol! I still have that one and the other four I bought the following year.

[@CHrisG-ol3ei]

I remember using the Faber castell gold range which was striped blue and gold and they were excellent .The stablio swan range is also good which I notice you didn’t have.

[@kimmern999]

Seems like the only "top brand" pencil you lack in your collection is the Staedtler Mars Lumograph. You ever tried those? They are considered the top of the line pencil from Staedtler.

[@RixCanDoit]

Rusty Galloway I have a full set of those and use them often for my drawings. My collection box holds pencils for writing and not drawing. See videos on drawing pencils that I have. Thanks for subscribing!

[@kimmern999]

RixCanDoit I see. Good stuff. :)

[@peterlinfield8707]

Round pencils used to be favoured by shorthand writers because they were more comfortable to hold when used for long periods.

[@RixCanDoit]

I like how they feel also.

[@チュテンキト]

アメリカの鉛筆はどれも魅力的ですね 日本だと手に入れるのが難しいですが、いつかは購入したいなと思っています

[@RixCanDoit]

私の謙虚な意見では、日本の鉛筆はアメリカの鉛筆よりも品質が高い.

[@kimmern999]

"Noir" (pronounced "noar") is French for black. Thus the black wood.

[@RixCanDoit]

Good to know! Thanks for watching!

[@somehumanbeing4018]

In the past, Ticonderogas sold in Canada were manufactured completely in Canada, being available from 4H to 2B Now we just have the ones made in China/Mexico ranging from 2H to B.

[@Petra-R]

hi rix, i would love to see a newer video of your pencil collection 😊 im always on the search for the „perfect“ black and im always curious what other people use.

[@RixCanDoit]

My pencil collection hasn't grown beyond maybe one or two more. There just aren't any new types out there that I'm aware of.

[@Petra-R]

@@RixCanDoit okay thank you. may you tell me please how would you compare the kimberly 9xxb? i cant get my hands on it here in europe... is it worth pay a extremly high price for it? or is it like any other for example staedtler?

[@RixCanDoit]

@@Petra-R It's like the Staedtler black. So don't spend the extra money to ship it if you can get the Staedtler Black locally for less.

[@Petra-R]

@@RixCanDoit oh okay thank you. i thought they are extra special because of the number 😂 well then i‘ll safe my money

[@Mejnoon]

Curious if you’ve ever checked to see which pencils have ferrous ferrules. I like to have a pencil readily at hand in my garage/workshop, I stick them to the side of machines/etc with little neodymium disc magnets; so far the General Cedar Pointe 333 is the only pencil I’ve tried with a ferrous ferrule, so that’s what I’m using for the most part. I’m sure there are others but I haven’t come across them yet.

[@RixCanDoit]

Interesting. So you like to have your pencils stick to the side of your machine. I can see how that would be handy. And to answer your question, the answer is 'no', I have never tested to see if they are attracted to magnets. I think I'll look into that. Great suggestion. Thanks.

[@fluffycloud8118]

Nice vid man! I'm just beginning to collect pencils so your channel is really useful for what I should buy! Thanks!

[@RixCanDoit]

Thanks. Glad you find them useful.

[@tatsuishunda9695]

Witch are the best pencil, in your opinion? Cheers from Brazil!

[@RixCanDoit]

Witches as pencils best in my opinion? Nope. I think it is best we stick to graphite and let those witches do what they do best... Brincadeirinha, claro. O meu favorito são os lápis Blackwing.

[@allenazali]

Thank you for your reviews. I have a pencil fetish and I have seen some of your videos multiple times. You have mentioned it before. Its not in this video. I hought it was also worth mentioning the USA Gold. I feel to that, the way you feel about the Norica and Apsara Platinum, and its made in the US! I enjoy your close up shots with your palm in the backgroud. My Helix A5 came in the mail today. Best wishes to your art work and sound reviews.

[@RixCanDoit]

Glad you like my videos enough to watch them multiple times. Thanks! You're going to love the Helix. It's one of my favorite sharpeners.

[@SykotikOne]

Thanks Rix!!!! :D Nice video bud, You should add the videos of the pencils you're showing with clickable links! I bet it would get you more views! Always love seeing other pencil enthusiasts collections!!

[@waitwherearewenow8950]

Such a good collection!

[@ChrisUong.English]

Dixon Ticonderoga HB is so far my favorite for many years.

[@sclogse1]

Being a novice, but a pretty fast moving one, it seems that soft pencils leave a light impression, but at the same time, a soft lead can leave a lot of lead, thus be a dark pencil. I think the 602 is a hard lead but one that leaves a lot of lead on the paper. Am I getting this right?

[@RixCanDoit]

The 602 is certainly not a hard lead. It requires less sharpening than the balanced and soft, but is smoother than most hard lead pencils.

[@lmpombo]

dear Rix, where can I buy a pencil box like the one you use here? Thanks for sharing your views on the pencil love affair theme!!!!!

[@goshen574]

Hey Rix, I'm legally blind and need some additional info on number 2 a.k.a. HB pencils, specifically which ones are the darkest. I'm using the Dixon Ticonderoga #2 HB from China and like them but was wondering if Mitsubishi or black warrior or norica might be better? I'm also thinking of getting the blackwing line or the BW 602 line but not sure if that's overkill. I'm focusing more on which is DARKEST rather than looks or how smooth it writes. What do you recommend and why? FYI I'm looking at Mitsubishi s 9800 and 9850 line

[@RixCanDoit]

If you are only looking for the darkest HB pencil, which theoretically all HB's should be the same (but they are not), perhaps the Aspara Platinum or the Norica. The Blackwing is not a HB pencil, but it is one of the darkest writing pencils. So if you want to move off the HB, there are darker pencils you can use. But limited to just HB pencils, the above named should do.

[@goshen574]

RixCanDoit when you say blackwing you talking about the whole lone of blackwing pencils?

[@goshen574]

I am looking for number 2 pencils which seems to be called HB now. I want the pencils to be more gersatile than just drawing. I'm looking for a pencil that will write dark more than anything and still be recognized as a number 2 so I can use it for test taking. Also what about Black warriors? Aren't they number 2? Lastly what would you consider the palomino s if not HB? What would you cobsider the 602, what about the pearl? Oh, and have you ever tried the paper mate mongol line of pencils comingout of Venezuela? They look similar to the EF Mongols but I'm not sure if it's worth the buy. If you never rated them let me know cause I'm thinking of buying a batch and I wouldn't mind sending you a few to get your oponion.

[@BlackDog69]

Have you ever used the JR Moon Try Rex, they are made from cedar have a decent eraser and are made in the us.

[@scruffy281]

What do you mean by "2014 batch" of Norica ? Thanks for the video.......very fun and informative!

[@RixCanDoit]

That's the year the pencils were made. Each box states the year.

[@PeggyBounyarith]

Cool, collection. I noticed that most of your pencils are either round or hexagon. Have you tried the triangular shaped ones? What do you think about those type of pencils?

[@RixCanDoit]

The only one I tried was the Grip and sent it back. Haven't tried any others yet.

[@PeggyBounyarith]

In the US, it's not that common, but I see it pretty frequent in Asia. I can't seem to find them online, but I was lucky enough to stumble upon them in small shops in HK. I like the shape and hold. I was curious what you thought about them.

[@RixCanDoit]

+Peggy Bounyarith I think they feel okay to hold. If I found one with nice dark smooth lead I'm sure I'd like it.

[@SykotikOne]

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B8WIMI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 one of the best pencils ive ever used if you get these Rix you have to do a video on them, they are amazing!!

[@RixCanDoit]

What do you use them for? A 6B pencil is way too soft for writing purposes, as you'll be sharpening them every few words. So are you drawing with them?

[@blakewaddell451]

is there anyway you could review the papermate classic pencil I would like to see a review of that pencil

[@RixCanDoit]

There is a way, but I don't have one right now. Don't expect this pencil to be anything special. Most likely it's just a Mirado Classic. For Papermate, I prefer the Mirado Black Warrior.

[@JoseMorales-bh4ut]

Very nice channel. Recently I found your channel looking for reviews on the Blackwing Pearl, but I've been obsessed. Question, were do you subscribe for the Blackwing Volumes? I've been wanting to get a Blackwing 24, but all the pages I visit are out of stock. I searched Ebay, but it's too expensive. Are you willing to sell me a Blackwing 24 yourself?

[@RixCanDoit]

These 'Volumes' Blackwings are meant to be 'limited editions'. This makes them valuable and collectors items. So if you aren't subscribed and they sell out, you are stuck having to hunt down someone who will want to make a good profit on them to sell to you. Here is where you subscribe: blackwing602.com/product/blackwing-volumes-subscription/

I'm trying to find a good buy on HB pencils or maybe even 2b, I don't use the different degrees on most pencils sets and I notice the single sets of HB (12 count )are more expensive but I use HB more than the rest and I don't want multiple degrees of pencils laying around, I'm currently using Dixon Ticonderoga, so what would you recommend?
