Blackwing Graphite Pencil - Eras 2024

Product Info

The Blackwing Natural pencils feature an exposed Incense-cedar barrel with a subtle clear matte finish and grey eraser, along with a balanced and smooth graphite core that is extra-firm. The pencils have an extra long hexagonal barrel made out of California incense cedar and special formulated leads from Japan. They represent undeniable quality, offering an exceptional balance of smooth performance, dark intense lead laydown and sharpness. Consistent and reliable performance despite the softer leads they will still sharpen to a fine point.

With a retro design inspired by the Microtomic 603, another legendary pencil that influenced the Blackwing 602, the Eras 2024 Pencil Set is a must-have for vintage stationery lovers.

Another Eberhard Faber production, some pencil fans said that the Blackwing 602 lived on in the Microtomic 603 after its demise, with a core that was strikingly similar to the classic pencil. The 2024 Eras Pencil Set pays homage to this underrated icon, with a deep blue barrel, silver imprint and ferrule, and a pink eraser. This release sports Blackwing's soft graphite core, echoing the Microtomic 603 3B's feel.
