The Ultimate Pencil
Blackwing makes pencils that people come back to. What started in the 1930s as a cult favourite among writers and artists is now a modern essential, built on the same idea that better tools lead to better work.
Blackwing Quality
Blackwing pencils are made from genuine incense cedar, chosen for its durability and clean, even sharpening. Inside, a premium graphite core delivers a smooth, consistent line for whether you’re sketching, drafting or just getting thoughts down.
Finished with a multi-layered lacquer, foil imprint and the signature square ferrule, every element has a purpose. Nothing decorative for the sake of it, all these details that improve the experience.
A Modern Classic
Blackwing has always sat just outside the mainstream. Used by writers, musicians and designers who notice the difference, it’s become a quiet staple, recognisable without trying too hard.
From core editions to limited releases, each variation keeps the same foundation while exploring new materials, finishes and collaborations.
Why Blackwing?
Blackwing has built its reputation on one thing - making pencils that feel better to use. From the weight of the pencil to the way the graphite moves across the page, every detail is designed to improve the experience.
The core range covers different graphite types, from soft and expressive to firm and precise, while limited editions introduce new finishes and collaborations without losing what makes a Blackwing a Blackwing.
Alongside the pencils, a small range of accessories, sharpeners, point guards and erasers, are made to the same standard. Simple, functional upgrades that keep your stationery working as it should.
