The animators' pencil of choice for seven decades.

The Blackwing's roots go back to the 1930’s when it was first introduced by Eberhard Faber. In 1998, after several corporate acquisitions, it was discontinued, but not forgotten. In fact, fans began paying as much $40 on eBay for a single Blackwing pencil.

Today, the Blackwing brand has been revived in the form of the firm and smooth Blackwing 602 (formulated to match the original) and this softer Blackwing Matte (softer than the original).
