Blackwing Pearl Blue Pencils (12 Pencils)
The new Pearl shades in blue and pink are an addition to the main Blackwing pencil range. Each pencil contains the same balanced and smooth graphite core as the other Pearl pencils. It is softer than the Blackwing 602 graphite but firmer than the Blackwing Matte, making it a favorite among calligraphers and illustrators.
Each pencil features a pearly finish, the iconic Blackwing square ferrule, silver markings, and a bright blue eraser. Blackwing Pearl pencils are sold in a set of 12, which also serves as a pencil holder.

ABOUT THE BRAND
The Blackwing pencil has a rich history dating back to 1934. In 2008, Palomino acquired the brand and began producing the Blackwing range as we know it today.
Blackwing pencils are renowned for the quality of their graphite and the unique smoothness of their lead. The Blackwing pencil is immediately recognizable by its semi-hexagonal body and interchangeable eraser. The original Blackwing 602 pencil alone inspired the works of some of the greatest artists in history. It is said that Disney animator Shamus Culhane requested to be buried with his Blackwing 602.
