About this item
- TOOLS WITH HERITAGE – First created in the 1930’s, Blackwing built a cult 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, we revived the Blackwing brand in 2010 for a new generation of writers, musicians, and others seeking a more natural existence.
- TWO STEP SHARPENING PROCESS – Our unique pencil sharpener uses a revolutionary two-step sharpening process for a better point. The Blackwing Long Point Pencil Sharpener does this by sharpening the wood first and then the graphite core to make a long, fine point that resists breakage.
- AUTOMATIC BRAKES – Every sharpener comes with two replacement blades and an automatic brake that prevents over-sharpening so that your Blackwing pencils last longer.
- COMMITMENT TO QUALITY – Blackwing Long Point Pencil Sharpeners are made with high quality German stainless steel blades and heavy-duty plastic, for the finest construction available.
- 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.

---|---|---|
Our Blackwing Long Point Pencil Sharpener is made with high-quality, German stainless steel blades and heavy-duty plastic. Created to sharpen our incense-cedar case pencils. |
This pencil sharpener has a simple, yet ingenious 2-step process that sharpens the wood casing and then the graphite. |
Each Blackwing sharpener has a built-in brake to prevent over-sharpening, making your pencil last as long as possible. |
The Possibilities are Endless
Our Blackwing Long Point Pencil Sharpeners were designed to expertly remove the excess wood that gets in the way. We thought of all the details so you don’t have to!
“Pencils with Heritage”
Blackwing pencils were originally introduced by the Eberhard Faber Company in the 1930s. Their cult following included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters.
Despite this following, they fell victim to cost cutting measures of the 1990s and were discontinued. But, that didn’t stop devotees from paying as much as 40 dollars per pencil to seize unused stock. In 2010, our company drew from the nearly century of experience in the pencil business to access the best materials in the world and bring Blackwing back for a new generation of writers, musicians, and others seeking a more natural existence.
Today, a portion of every Blackwing sale benefits music and arts education at the K-12 level.

mein fazit: für den preis besser gleich zur CARL Spitzmaschine CC-2000 greifen
Tiene buenos detalles como las dos hojas para cambiar cuando el filo se pierda. Eso es un plus. Otro es que es de Palomino. Tal vez los mejores lápices del mundo
