- 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.
