Pencil - Pearlescent - Set of 12 - Blue

The new blue and pink Pearl colourways are a new addition to the core Blackwing pencil line-up. Each pencil contains the same balanced and smooth graphite core found in the other Pearl pencils. It is softer than the graphite found in the Blackwing 602, but firmer than the graphite found in the Blackwing Matte, a favourite among calligraphers and illustrators.

Each pencil features a pearlescent finish, iconic square Blackwing ferrule, silver imprint, and bright blue eraser. Blackwing Pearl pencils come in a 12-pack gift box that doubles as a pencil cup.

ABOUT THE BRAND

The Blackwing pencil has a rich history dating back to 1934. In 2008, Palamino acquired the brand and began production of the Blackwing range as we know it today.

Blackwing pencils are famously known for their quality of graphite and the unique softness and smoothness of their lead. The Blackwing pencil has an instantly recognisable semi hexagonal body and interchangeable eraser. The original 602 pencil single handedly inspired the works of some of history's greatest throughout the years. It is said that Disney animator Shamus Culhaneasked to be buried with his Blackwing 602.
