Palomino Blackwing Pearl Blackwing

:: PENCILS WITH HERITAGE – First created in the 1930’s, Blackwing built a cult following that included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwing pencils to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. Discontinued in the 1990’s, we revived the Blackwing brand in 2010 for a new generation of artists, writers, musicians, and others seeking a more natural existence. 

:: PERFECT FOR ILLUSTRATORS AND CALLIGRAPHERS – With a balanced and smooth Japanese graphite core, Blackwing Pearl pencils are perfect for illustrators, UI/UX designers, and woodworkers. Use for a line that is softer than the Blackwing 602, but firmer than the Blackwing, and all without excessive sharpening.

:: UNIQUE ICONIC DESIGN – Blackwing’s unique and iconic rectangular erasers are synonymous with quality. Each of our pencils features a specially designed ferrule, allowing you to extend or replace the eraser.

:: COMMITMENT TO QUALITY – Blackwing Pearl pencils are made with the finest materials in the world, including Genuine Incense-cedar from California and premium Japanese graphite.

:: BLACKWING GIVES 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.

:: Set of 12.

p.s. we carry Blackwing Long Point Sharpeners and Replacement Erasers too!

p.p.s. We strive to carry American-made products at Period Six, and while these Blackwing Naturals are made in Japan, we think the story behind them is pure Americana. We are honored to bring them to new fans and long-time admirers. Enjoy!
