Product Description

Blackwing 602 Pencils, Firm Japanese Graphite, Gunmetal Gray, 12 Count

HALF THE PRESSURE, TWICE THE SPEED - The motto of the original 602. Firm, smooth Japanese graphite holds its point longer and delivers crisp, smudge-resistant lines.
THE PENCIL THAT MADE BLACKWING FAMOUS - John Steinbeck wrote with it daily, Chuck Jones animated Bugs Bunny with it, and composers scored with it. Try out the pencils coveted by award-winning creators.
PREMIUM MATERIALS - Genuine California Incense-cedar barrel sharpens evenly and cleanly; premium Japanese graphite resists crumbling for a consistent line every time.
THE ICONIC RECTANGULAR ERASER - Blackwing's square ferrule and extendable, replaceable eraser have been its signature since the 1930s.
GIVES BACK TO THE ARTS - A portion of every purchase funds the Blackwing Foundation, supporting arts and music education in public schools.

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." Blackwing 602 pencils feature a gunmetal grey finish and iconic square Blackwing ferrule with a black eraser. Blackwing 602 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.
