Troubleshooting
Lead keeps breaking during sharpening
Ensure your sharpener blade is sharp; a dull blade can cause the wood to splinter and the lead to snap.
Pencil lead feels scratchy on paper
Ensure the pencil is sharpened to a point that suits the paper texture and avoid pressing down too hard, which can compress the graphite.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pencils require no special setup; they are ready for use immediately upon unboxing. They are compatible with all standard pencil sharpeners, whether manual or electric. To maintain the integrity of the character artwork on the barrel, it is recommended to store them in a protective pencil case rather than a communal cup to prevent friction and cosmetic wear. Avoid dropping them on hard surfaces, as this can lead to lead breakage within the wood casing.
