Blackwing isn’t just a pencil - it’s cult stationery for people who care about how things feel as much as how they function.
Originally introduced in the 1930s, Blackwing built its reputation on a simple idea: better tools make better work. Writers, musicians, and artists took notice, from Steinbeck to Sondheim, and the pencil quietly became iconic.
Today’s Blackwing stays true to that legacy. Each pencil is crafted from premium incense cedar, finished with a smooth, matte lacquer, and fitted with the signature square ferrule and replaceable eraser.
- Premium graphite cores in multiple firmness levels
- Replaceable erasers designed to actually be used
- Timeless design with a distinctive, weighted feel
- Trusted by creatives who notice the difference
It’s a small upgrade, but one you feel every time it hits the page.
- Cedarwood barrels
- Japanese graphite - Soft 4B
- Made in Japan
- Set of 12 pencils in keepsake box
