New Packaging
Blackwing Natural: Features an exposed Incense-cedar barrel with a subtle clear matte finish and their popular extra-firm graphite. Every Blackwing Natural features a gold imprint, grey eraser, and the iconic square Blackwing ferrule.
Blackwing 602: Praised by Alex Beam of The Boston Globe and Mark Frauenfelder of Boing Boing, among others, the Palomino Blackwing 602 features a firm and smooth graphite core that helps it deliver on its promise of “Half the Pressure, Twice the Speed.”
Blackwing Pearl: The latest addition to the Blackwing family features a pearl white finish, black imprint and eraser, and a balanced and smooth graphite core that is softer than the graphite found in the Palomino Blackwing 602, but firmer than the graphite found in the Palomino Blackwing.
Blackwing: Ideal for illustrators and musicians who prefer a soft, dark line, the Palomino Blackwing was launched in October 2010 as a modern version of the iconic Eberhard Faber Blackwing 602 pencil that was favored by artists such as Stephen Sondheim and Chuck Jones. Palomino Blackwings boast a sophisticated matte black finish with pearl white erasers.
At the heart of every Blackwing pencil is one of the world’s finest Japanese-crafted graphite cores. This core is encased in Genuine California Incense-cedar and finished with a smooth lacquer, giving each pencil exceptional sharpening performance and the look of quality that has come to be associated with Blackwing products.
