Blackwing pencils are all crafted with Genuine Incense-cedar wood from California and Oregon along with premium Japanese graphite. The company traces its roots to the 1930s when the pencil’s exceptional quality and distinctive style made it the creative tool of choice for some, of history's most influential artists, writers, and thinkers. The original Blackwing 602 gained popularity among creative luminaries such as John Steinbeck, Bugs Bunny creator Chuck Jones, and some of the most famous musicians of all time. Today, Blackwing pencils are cult objects.

These iconic pencils have a velvety dark graphite core, ideal for artists, musicians, woodworkers and anyone looking for a bold, dark line. Designed to create depth and texture on paper, these quality pencils feature Blackwing’s distinctive metal ferrule, replaceable rectangular eraser and eraser clip.
