Point Guard (Gold)

I love these. They are sturdy and look nice on your pencil. If you paid a little extra for a Blackwing pencil you definitely want to protect the point and keep the professional look. The pencil caps I grew up using, had slits in the side that made them more adjustable to different sized pencils and allowed the cap to go on farther up the pencil. These are not adjustable and you don't need to push the pencil into the point guard very far, which makes new pencils a little long for storing in standard length pencil pouches.Overall, these point guards are beautiful, professional, and useful. I have purchased a set for myself and two friends so far. I give them five stars and plan to purchase more in the near future for carrying various types of pencils. If the price was a little lower, I probably would purchase more faster.

Well made. Did I need them? Probs my not lol.

These caps are perfect to protect pencil points in your purse or backpack. They look nice too!

I like to carry pencils in my shirt pocket but I don't like the lead getting on my shirt if I carry it point up, nor do I want lead in the pocket or the point tearing a hole. These are great. They fit my Ticonderoga pencils snugly and I can now carry pencils in my shirt pocket again without any risk of hole, lead mark, or tip breakage. They appear to be authentic as well. Not too light, not cheap feeling, not really heavy at all. Not photographed but was present: silver cover.

Look, they're expensive, but everything Blackwing is, and they work very well for what they do -- securely affix to the end of the pencil, protect the sharpened end. Great for travel and work, and the colors are an added bonus. There are cheaper options, most of them homemade, but these are definitely stylish and add a Blackwing-esque touch of class.

These are not only handle and protective, they look good doing it. Nice little addition to my pencils.
