Claimed by many to be the best writing utensil in the world, Blackwing pencils are famous for the quality of graphite, iconic shape, replaceable eraser and the men and women whose works they’ve inspired throughout the years. The list of known users includes John Steinbeck, Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein and Chuck Jones (who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and countless other Looney Tunes characters).
This special edition pencil is the third entry in Blackwing Eras series – honoring Blackwing’s heritage with designs inspired by the Blackwing 602’s unique history.
This Eras pencil sports a retro design inspired by the arrow-punched ferrule found on Blackwing pencils in the mid-20th century. Each pencil features a dark grey barrel, gold arrow-punched ferrule, gold imprint, red eraser, and an extra-firm graphite.
Launched in the 1930s, discontinued in 1998, the Blackwing Pencil is now making a comeback.
