HIGH-QUALITY TOOLS TO HELP YOU SLOW DOWN HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS & CRAFTSMANSHIP Only Blackwing pencils combine the graphite in the world, the best wood in the world, and generations of craftsmanship to create an exceptional pencil.

It is strictly regulated and sustainability harvested, unlike the rainforest and other unsustainable woods used in other pencils. EVERY PURCHASE GIVES BACK A portion of the sales from all Blackwing products benefits the Blackwing Foundation, which funds and develops life-changing arts and music education programs at the K-12 level. PENCILS WITH A STORY Blackwing 602 pencils were first introduced in the 1930s. Their superior quality and distinct look made them the pencil of choice for Pulitzer, Grammy, and Academy award-winning creators from Chuck Jones to John Steinbeck and Stephen Sondheim throughout the 20th century. The Blackwing went from a pencil to an icon. Then suddenly in the 1990s, after corporate jostling, they completely vanished. In 2010, we tapped into over 100 years of family-run pencil-making experience to reintroduce Blackwing pencils to a new generation of writers, artists, and makers. We scoured the planet to find the best raw materials, designers, and craftspeople to create the best possible pencil. Since its return, Blackwing has transformed from a single pencil into a movement. We create thoughtfully designed products to spark inspiration, get back in touch with your senses, and find balance in your day-to-day. Your time is precious and we want to help you create beautiful moments that will last because we know that life is just that much sweeter when we slow down. Our mission is to empower everyone with the tools and education to express their creativity even at an early age. A portion of every Blackwing purchase goes towards funding life-changing arts and music programs in public schools.
Product Features
PENCILS WITH HERITAGE First created in the 1930s, Blackwing built a following that included author John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used them to create Bugs Bunny. When they were discontinued in the ‘90s, devotees paid as much as $40 a pencil. In 2010, we revived the Blackwing brand for a new generation of writers, musicians, and artists.
PERFECT FOR ILLUSTRATORS & CALLIGRAPHERS With our extra firm Japanese graphite core, Blackwing Natural pencils are perfect for illustrators, and UI/UX designers. Add our pencils to your office or school supplies so you’ll always have a reliable writing utensil nearby. Use it for a line that is slightly firmer than the Blackwing 602. No excessive sharpening required!
UNIQUE ICONIC DESIGN Blackwing’s unique and iconic rectangular erasers are synonymous with quality. Each of our pencils features a specially designed ferrule, allowing you to extend or replace the eraser when it gets worn down. Our pencils make an excellent gift for men and women who like drawing or taking hand-written notes. Keep these pencils at your work desk or use them to sketch on the go.
COMMITMENT TO QUALITY Blackwing Natural pencils are made with the finest premium materials in the world. The exposed Incense-cedar wooden barrel, with a subtle clear matte finish, comes from California. The extra-firm, high-quality graphite comes from Japan and is ideal for note-taking, marking, and sketching. Our cool pencils are a sophisticated addition to any stationery kit.
HOW WE GIVE BACK A portion of the sales from all Blackwing products benefit the Blackwing Foundation, which funds and develops arts and music education at the K – 12 level. Your purchase helps provide, among other things, the instruction, learning environment, and instruments children need to participate in the Little Kids’ Rock Modern Band Program.
Customer Reviews
These are hands down my favorite and potentially one of the best doodle/all around sketch pencil out there.While they are certainly pricier, they are worth it. I’ve had my original set for years and I still have 6 pencils I haven’t even touched yet. I knew these would be my go tos for years to come so I bought another set. Different style, but same lead quality as the previous ones I have with the black eraser.Reasons why I live these:1 lead does not break easily in any sharpener. I only had the lead break once and that was because I really screwed up the angle of the blade to the pencil and was really rough with it. I have been able to sharpen these in electric, Long point, and metal sharpeners along with an X-Acto knife2. They feel good to hold. Like seriously I feel my brain and hand are more in sync with these pencils and they just help with the work flow of my drawing getting it from my mind to the paper. Easy to hold and control the pressure. Not to mention the way the eraser end is made, it still allowed me to draw with a semi awkward grip even when it was a literal stub (ie no more pencil left and just the pointed part). This allowed me to use it until the last possible moment3. The lead glides so nickels on all paper types. I’ve drawn in Bristol and papers with tougher textures and the pencil glides so well but still providing enough friction for control. A great all rounder based on the pressure you use allowing you to lightly doodle to drawing darker outlines to even basic shading. All with one pencil. Makes it great as a traveling tool when you want to practice or get tough ideas out.4. It erases pretty cleanly. The erasers work reasonably well given not as well as my kneadable or vinyl erasers, but for use with just this pencil, they get the job done. The shake of the eraser allows for more control in the size of the area you want to erase and you don’t need to use a lot of pressure. Not to mention you can pull it out and extend the eraser when you have rubbed it down too much. Though depending on how much you erase, they don’t feel they will last the full life if the pencil itself.
