Blackwing
The story of Blackwing pencils started in the 30s when the Blackwing 602 was introduced by Eberhard Faber. In 1998, after different takeovers, the pencils were no longer produced. But by then the Blackwing already was immense popular with artists, musicians and scientists. Prices on Ebay went up to 40 dollar a pencil. In 2010 Palomino, a company with a rich history of almost 100 years in the pencil business, reintroduced the Blackwing on the market. The searched and found the best materials for this pencil.
Praised in the New Yorker, The Boston Globe, and Boing Boing among others, the Palomino Blackwing 602 features a firm and smooth graphite core that helps it deliver on its promise of “Half the Pressure, Twice the Speed.” Its unique and iconic ferrule allows you to extend and replace its eraser after extensive use.
