Blackwing - Pearl Pencil - Pack of 12

Claimed by many to be the best writing utensil in the world, Blackwing pencils are famous for the quality of graphite, iconic shape, replaceable eraser, and the people whose works they’ve inspired throughout the years. The Blackwing Pearl is a bit harder than the regular Blackwing, but still soft and dark: a perfect all-round pencil.

• Box of 12 Blackwing Pearl Pencils
• Soft lead, ideal for writing and drawing (similar to a 3B pencil)
• Pearl white finish
• Iconic square Blackwing ferrule in gold with a white eraser
• Sleek design and satisfying to use
• Gift box also doubles as a pencil cup
• Made in Japan from renewable Californian incense-cedar

Some of the world’s most legendary Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer and Academy Award winners have created with Blackwing pencils. The list of known users includes John Steinbeck, Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein and Chuck Jones (who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and countless other Looney Tunes characters). Discontinued in 1998, the Blackwing Pencil is now making a comeback.

Blackwing pencils are iconic. The unusual ferrule (the metal bit that connects the pencil to the eraser) design made the pencils a collectors item when they got discontinued in 1998. Palomino then revived the design in 2010, and have since expanded the line. 

Ideal for musicians, woodworkers and anyone who prefer a soft, dark line, the Blackwing Matte is the softest of the four core Blackwing models. Each pencil features a timeless matte black finish, iconic square Blackwing ferrule and black eraser.
