Blackwing Pencils, Set of 12

When it comes to pencils, don’t settle for number 2. The Palomino Blackwing features a sophisticated matte black finish, iconic tapered eraser ferrule, and a smooth lead formulation that leaves soft, dark lines. This top-shelf writing tool has developed quite the reputation among illustrators, musicians, and pencil aficionados due to its precisely tailored specs. In fact, Palomino’s Blackwing was designed in tribute to the long-discontinued Eberhard Faber Blackwing 602—a legendary pencil favored by artists like Chuck Jones, John Steinbeck, Stephen Sondheim, and many others.

A division of the historic California Cedar Products Company, Palomino specializes in fine writing, arts, and stationery products – the most famous of which are its Palomino Blackwing pencils. Inspired by the comparisons drawn between its Palomino Original graded range of premium pencils and the famous Eberhard Faber Blackwing pencil, Cal Cedar soon expanded its Palomino umbrella to revive the iconic Blackwing brand. Today, Palomino continues to create innovative writing tools in order to introduce their long heritage to new generation of emerging artists.
