I too have never heard of these, & like one reviewer I love writing instruments. Is the long point sharpener a must?

No. But I bought one anyway. Being an Artist I have more erasers, manual and electric than any one person needs. But whatever, I had to TRY it. 😂 It's not a must. I use what is at hand. They sharpen nicely with just about anything. I have at least ten different Blackening pencils. The leads a very sturdy whether you use a traditional point sharpener or a long point sharpener. They are made to reduce constant sharpening for those of us who love a sharp point. The erasers are extendable, fabulous and replaceable! $2.99 for a ten pack in lots of colors at the website. Best pencils everrrrr.

Do these smear on paper/hands (Left handed person asking)

I have not used them much yet, but I believe because of their creamy softness, they would smear rather easily. As a lefty, do you ever put a clean sheet of scrap paper under your hand when drawing to keep the paper clean?

In school #2 pencils have to be used for test. Are these #2? My son really wants them.

They're certainly darker than #2, which means they're fine for tests. The #2 requirement is to ensure students don't use lighter pencils which the test-reading machines may fail to "see," but Blackwings are quite dark. They are also erasable, in case he has second thoughts about an answer (the reason #2 pencils are preferred over pens is that pens are not erasable).

How does the Blackwing compare to the Mirado Black warrior and the Black Ticonderoga?

The Blackwing writes faster and smoother than either of those options. Honestly, I have had bad luck with the Mirado Black Warrior lead being "scratchy" on the paper, and I strongly dislike the Mirado's eraser. I've only ever had one "bad" Black Ticonderoga but it's the one I'm using now. But the Blackwing is still far smoother than the Ticonderoga. It also has a darker line, but it stays sharp just as long. The quality of the finish is also better if that matters to you, with a matte black very sharp paint.
