The newest addition to the Blackwing standard lineup, the Natural pencils offer the hardest graphite in Extra Firm, which is close to HB lead. Although they're the hardest Blackwing pencil, they're still smooth which makes writing with them a pleasant experience. They are crafted from incense cedar wood with a clear matte finish, letting you appreciate the natural color and pattern of the wood. The imprint writing is a beautiful gold color, which accents the wood beautifully.

Blackwing Natural pencils come in a 12-pack gift box that also doubles as a pencil cup.

Blackwing Pencils

Legendary Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer and Academy Award winners have created with the Blackwing 602 pencil. The list of known users includes John Steinbeck, Looney Tunes creator Chuck Jones, and Disney animator Shamus Culhane who, according to animation historian Charles Soloman, asked to be buried with his Blackwing 602.

Blackwing’s roots go back to the 1930s when the 602 model was first introduced by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company. Over the years, the pencil with the unique rectangular eraser became synonymous with quality. Then, in 1998, after several corporate acquisitions, it was discontinued, but not forgotten. In fact, fans began paying as much as $40 on eBay for a single Blackwing pencil.

In 2007, Blackwing introduced their Palomino range of pencils using Genuine Incense-cedar and premium Japanese graphite. Artists and writers started comparing them to their beloved Blackwing 602s, and folks began asking Blackwing to consider reviving the Blackwing brand. Blackwing tapped into over 100 years of family-run pencil industry experience to re-introduce Blackwing pencils in 2010.

In the 10 years since its revival, Blackwing has grown from a single pencil into a culture. It’s a culture that's all about living mindfully and finding balance in our fast paced lives.
