About this item

• PENCILS WITH HERITAGE ? First created in the 1930¡¯s, Blackwing built a following that included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. Discontinued in the 90¡¯s, devotees paid as much as $40 a pencil. In 2010, we revived the Blackwing brand for a new generation of writers, musicians, and others seeking a more natural existence.
• PERFECT FOR ILLUSTRATORS AND CALLIGRAPHERS ? With our balanced and smooth Japanese graphite core, Blackwing Pearl pencils are perfect for illustrators, UI/UX designers, and woodworkers. Use for a line that is softer than the Blackwing 602, but firmer than the Blackwing, and all without excessive sharpening.
• 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.
• COMMITMENT TO QUALITY ? Blackwing Pearl pencils are made with the finest materials in the world, including Genuine Incense-cedar from California and premium Japanese graphite.
• 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.
• HELPING YOU SLOW DOWN ? We believe that it's important and healthy to find balance in our increasingly digital lives. Our products encourage you to live creatively, intentionally, and mindfully.
