The Blackwing is our softest graphite pencil. Each Blackwing pencil is made with Genuine Incense-cedar from the forests of California and Oregon and smooth Japanese graphite. Blackwing pencils feature a matte black finish, gold imprint, and iconic square Blackwing ferrule with a white eraser. Blackwing pencils come in packs of 12. Blackwing pencils were first introduced by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company in the 1930's. Their cult following included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. Over the years, the pencil with the unique rectangular eraser became synonymous with quality. However, due to cost cuts, they were discontinued in the 1990's. That didn't stop devotees from paying as much as $40 per pencil for unused stock. In 2010, we drew from nearly a century of experience to access the best materials in the world and bring Blackwing back for a new generation of writers, musicians, and others seeking a more natural existence.
