I found a new kind of pencil, the best I've ever owned. It's black and soft, but it doesn't break. I think I'll always use this one. It's called the Blackwing, and it really glides across the paper. (John Steinbeck)

The Blackwing pencil, thanks to its unmistakable stroke, the quality of its materials and its unique design, was the working tool of some of the greatest artists and writers of the 20th century, including Leonard Bernstein, John Steinbeck, Walt Disney, Duke Ellington, Chuck Jones, Truman Capote and Vladimir Nabokov.

Blackwing's roots date back to the 1930s, when the model Blackwing 602 It was first introduced by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company. Over the years, the pencil with the unique rectangular eraser and the motto printed on the barrel Half the pressure, twice the speed it has become synonymous with quality.

Crafted from Californian cedar and Japanese graphite, the Blackwing pencil is now available in both classic and limited edition models, in four different hardnesses: extra firm, firm, balanced, and soft, and in a variety of color combinations. In addition to the classic models, each year Blackwing creates four limited editions dedicated to artists, musicians, and notable figures.
