I'm new to Blackwing. Which pencil should I start with?

Most people start with the Pearl - it sits between the soft Matte and the firm 602. To try all four cores before committing to a dozen, the Pencil Essentials Set includes one of each.

What do soft, firm, balanced and extra-firm actually mean?

They describe how much graphite the pencil lays down and how long it holds a point. Softer cores make darker lines and need sharpening more often. Firmer cores make finer lines and last longer between sharpenings.

Will Blackwing pencils fit a standard sharpener?

Yes. The barrel is a standard pencil diameter. The Blackwing One-Step and Two-Step sharpeners are shaped to produce the long, curved point these pencils are designed around.

Why is the eraser rectangular instead of round?

The flat eraser slides out of the ferrule so you can extend it as it wears, then replace it when it is gone. It has been Blackwing's signature since the 1930s.

What is the Blackwing Foundation?

A portion of every purchase funds the Blackwing Foundation, which supports arts and music education in public schools.
