The Blackwing Story

PENCILS WITH A STORY

Blackwing 602 pencils were first introduced in the 1930s. Their superior quality and distinct look made them the pencil of choice for Pulitzer, Grammy, and Academy award-winning creators from Chuck Jones to John Steinbeck and Stephen Sondheim throughout the 20th century. The Blackwing went from a pencil to an icon. Then suddenly in the 1990s, after corporate jostling, they completely vanished.

In 2010, we tapped into over 100 years of family-run pencil-making experience to reintroduce Blackwing pencils to a new generation of writers, artists, and makers. We scoured the planet to find the best raw materials, designers, and craftspeople to create the best possible pencil. Since its return, Blackwing has transformed from a single pencil into a movement.

We create thoughtfully designed products to spark inspiration, get back in touch with your senses, and find balance in your day-to-day. Your time is precious and we want to help you create beautiful moments that will last because we know that life is just that much sweeter when we slow down. Our mission is to empower everyone with the tools and education to express their creativity even at an early age. A portion of every Blackwing purchase goes towards funding life-changing arts and music programs in public schools.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2023
    Well balanced and elegant. Slightly larger than an average pencil, and sturdy. Cedar is so choice. Matte is my preference. It is the darkest, looks and feels really smooth. The graphite holds up well. Just needs a little extra care maybe when sharpening. I press down the normal amount usually, this lead can take a bit more than the norm I've noticed. And great for anything and everything. Recommend getting tip protector if you like it sharp. Handy for on the go.
