Blackwing Pearl Pencils (12 Pencils)

Regarded by many as the best writing instruments in the world, Blackwing pencils are famous for the quality of their graphite, their iconic shape, their replaceable eraser, and the men and women whose works they have inspired over the years. The Blackwing Pearl is a bit harder than the classic Blackwing but remains smooth and dark: a perfect versatile pencil.

ABOUT THE BRAND

The Blackwing pencil has a rich history dating back to 1934. In 2008, Palomino acquired the brand and began producing the Blackwing line as we know it today.

Blackwing pencils are renowned for the quality of their graphite and the unique smoothness of their lead. The Blackwing pencil is immediately recognizable by its semi-hexagonal body and interchangeable eraser. The original 602 pencil alone inspired the works of some of the greatest artists in history. It is said that Disney animator Shamus Culhane requested to be buried with his Blackwing 602.
