Blackwing are quite simply the best pencils ever made. Famous exponents have included everyone from John Steinbeck to Truman Capote and Quincy Jones. Chuck Jones created Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes with them and Shamus Culhane (of Pinocchio, Snow White and Woody Woodpecker fame) even asked to be buried with his Blackwing. Sets of the original lines sell on eBay today for hundreds dollars and their fanbase is so strong, their fervent appreciation ensured the range was brought back from discontinuation in 2011.

The Blackwing Natural line are a perfect blend of simplicity, elegance and superior craftsmanship. With their distinctive exposed woodgrain finish, these pencils exude a natural, organic aesthetic that's both eye-catching and unique. The graphite core offers a smooth and velvety writing experience, allowing for effortless strokes and precise control. The balanced weighting and comfortable grip ensures optimal comfort during extended use, making them a pleasure to hold and to write with. In addition to their high performing credentials, they're also an eco-friendly choice, crafted from genuine FSC-certified Californian Incense cedar; a sustainable and renewable resource.

The Natural range feature Blackwing's extra-firm Japanese graphite, the hardest in their core line up. This makes them ideal for writing, notation, detailed line work and anything that requires a lighter, sharper result. Each pencil features that exposed wooden finish, famous square Blackwing ferrule and grey, replaceable eraser. All Blackwing pencils come unsharpened in a 12-pack gift box that also doubles as a pencil cup.

Their history is storied and proponents myriad, so if you want to give them the very best, these are the brand to go with.
