Where’s the rest of the pencil?
From Mitsubishi and Faber-Castell, we have pre-shortened versions of the Uni and Castell 9000 pencils.
They are meant for use in pencil holders from these firms.
The Uni is unsharpened, while the 9000 has a factory sharpening. Both are sold in packages of three.

Stroke of genius by the pencil marketers, huh? charge more for smaller pencils. All kidding aside, they are both fine products.
I just recently started chopping Palominos in half to fit inside the Steadtler 900 25 pencil holder. Though I do intend to own both the Mitsubishi and non-plastic Faber Castel holders eventually, I am 100% pleased with the Palomino+900 25 experience.

That makes two of us (except that I only own the Faber Castell extenders) – there must be a marked for short Palominos :-). BTW Where IS the rest of the slate? Ultra short pencils?:-)

A couple years ago I bought about 100 Black Warriors on sale for around 5 cents each. Given that cheap price, I have overcome my hesitation and I whack the first couple inches off ‘em when I first sharpen them. (I also whittle out the *stupid* hearts logo and black over the scar with a sharpie.) Shorter pencils are better. I pack them in a pocket-saving Kutsuwa extender/protector.
