We didn't stock regular pencils, long believing that a good mechanical pencil was far superior than sharpening a twig. Then I was given a Blackwing to try. I was wrong, and we got them in. The smoothness of the writing is unrivaled.

Blackwing pencils were favoured by award-winning creators throughout the 20th century. Despite a cult following, they were discontinued in the 1990s. In the early 2000s, Blackwing used their access to the best wood, graphite and artisan makers inteh world to introduce a premium pencil line called Palomino. The buzz surrounding Palomino led Blackwing fans to ask the company to bring back the Blackwing pencils for a new generation. In 2010 the new pencils were re-introduced and the rest is history.  

This Limited Edition Blackwing Palomino pencil is the second entry into the Blackwing Eras series, inspired by the Palominos that paved the way for the Blackwing revival.

The pencil is made from FSC certified cedar, and features replaceable erasers.
