I use various qualities of graphite, from regular to prime fine art, office to Caran d'Ache. I was surprised by the standard of these pencils and will be using them. Good set for a beginner, and established artist. I understand these can be bought in boxes of one grade.

They do give a slight metallic finish,but bear this in mind; They are very hard leads so you need to softly build the tone up otherwise you'll end up going through the paper. It also helps to have a very sharp point to get a darker edge. The colours are subtle not bright,even the gold needs a brown or orange edge highlight to give a gold feel. Worth the effort or for someone who doesn't want to spend a fortune on pencils they may not like!

These pencils are poor quality. The wood splits when you sharpen them leaving them completely useless. I am also struggling to see any difference in the grades at all. I have had graded pencils before and the grading is normal obvious. You get what you pay for and I will be investing in a more expensive set. I have given these to my four year old.

At first everything was fine. But then when the pencils went blunt and when I sharpened them the lead kept falling out. This happened continuously until the pencils were short. No matter how carefully I sharpened them the lead would fall out and I would have to start again. Each bit that came off was the same size and I got the impression that on some of the pencils the lead was broken the whole was down.

These are nice enough pencils in a very limited range of colours. I may be going barmy but they don't seem metallic to me. I was expecting a definite metallic quality but just got a pleasant enough soft tone. I couldn't detect anything metallic about them. Disappointing.
