Blackwing pencils built a cult following among famed 20th-century artists, especially authors, animators, and musicians. They combined their iconic design with California Incense-Cedar and smooth Japanese graphite to create a truly exceptional experience.

Legendary Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer and Academy Award winners have created with the Blackwing 602 pencil. The list of known users includes John Steinbeck, Looney Tunes creator Chuck Jones, and Disney animator Shamus Culhane who, according to animation historian Charles Soloman, asked to be buried with his Blackwing 602.
Blackwing’s roots go back to the 1930’s when the 602 model was first introduced by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company. Over the years, the pencil with the unique rectangular eraser became synonymous with quality. Then, in 1998, after several corporate acquisitions, it was discontinued, but not forgotten. In fact, fans began paying as much as $40 on eBay for a single Blackwing pencil.
In 2007, Blackwing introduced their Palomino range of pencils using Genuine Incense-cedar and premium Japanese graphite. Artists and writers started comparing them to their beloved Blackwing 602s, and folks began asking to revive the Blackwing brand. Blackwing tapped into over 100 years of family-run pencil industry experience to re-introduce the iconic brand in 2010.
In the 10 years since its revival, Blackwing has grown from a single pencil into a culture. It’s a culture that's all about living mindfully and finding balance in our fast-paced lives.

Blackwing Pencil Set
Phenomal writing with these bad boys, they seem to last forever , holds its point for a long time, without a doubt the smoothest writing pencil I've ever used.
1) i love any blackwing set that comes in multiple colors
2) they’re blackwings. so theyre great.
3) slick design that’s eyecatching but not flamboyant. tiny pop of lime is so perfect.
Great pencil! They were a gift for my grandson James! He loved that they had his name on them!
This is the highest quality pencil one can use, and I’m thrilled with this edition of Blackwing pencils. They are beautiful!
James & Blackwing sure out did themselves with this design. Great color combo. It's an excellent addition to my collection.
