Released to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Blackwing's revival, these special limited edition Eras are inspired by the earliest Eberhard Faber Blackwings ever produced. This pencil features a dark grey barrel, iconic dark grey ferrule with a gold stripe, red eraser, and extra-firm graphite.
The Blackwing Eras styling in dark grey was a nod to the company's retro past. As the Eras Editions are extremely limited and not part of the regular quarterly Blackwing Volumes program they are a huge fan favorite; retailers sold out before they could even get them on the shelves.
Blackwing Eras, and Volumes (and sometime X collaborations) are not re-produced, and have therefore become hot item for enthusiasts with value going up considerably over time and as they get used up.
