The blue ones do have the word Dritz on them!
Not that, that really matters!
I really like these pencils ... however, I have had two of the F+P mechanical pencils quit working.
The 1st time I took it back and the store replaced.
The 2nd time I knew I did not want to got through this again, and so, I purchased a mechanical pencil at Staples.
As already mentioned, I too keep two pencils filled up and ready to grab whichever I need at the time ... white or graphite.
If I were buying new again ... I would just buy the refills and go to Staples for two mechanical pencils. Just be sure you get the right lead size.
