Description
Claimed by many to be the best writing utensil in the world, Blackwing pencils are famous for the quality of graphite, iconic shape, replaceable eraser, and the men and women whose works they’ve inspired throughout the years. The Blackwing Pearl is a bit harder than the regular Blackwing, but still soft and dark: a perfect all-round pencil.
Please note: Blackwing has very recently changed their packaging. Although most orders will include their new version, some might still receive their previous design while stock lasts.
- Box of 12 Blackwing Pearl Pencils
- Soft lead, ideal for writing and drawing (similar to a 3B pencil)
- Pearl white finish
- Iconic square Blackwing ferrule in gold with a white eraser
- Sleek design and satisfying to use
- Gift box also doubles as a pencil cup
- Made in Japan from renewable Californian incense-cedar
Some of the world’s most legendary Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer and Academy Award winners have created with Blackwing pencils. The list of known users includes John Steinbeck, Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein and Chuck Jones (who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and countless other Looney Tunes characters). Discontinued in 1998, the Blackwing Pencil is now making a comeback.

Blackwing Pearl Pencil (12 Pencils)
This pencil glides over the paper leaving a lovely black line that is darker than the Blackwing 602's. I like it for drafting papers and making notes. It is also a good pencil for making sketches.

Blackwing Pearl Pencil (12 Pencils)
The Blackwing Pearl is a beautifully balanced pencil and an ideal aide to the creative process. As a writer, I find it smooth and flowing without being so soft as to require constant sharpening. I would be tempted to call it a workhorse but it is far too sleek and beautiful for such terminology. Simply perfect.

Blackwing Pearl Pencil (12 Pencils)
I find this mid - hardness compared with the softer blackwing and better in my hand for zipping along as it is less tempting to doodle. Lovely weight and balance.

Blackwing Pearl Pencil (12 Pencils)
Brilliant compromise between the two earlier pencils. Almost as black a line and soft a feel as the Blackwing, but with more clarity to the line. The wear resistance is, surprisingly, on par with the 602. Neither of these are very long-lasting, and relatively expensive when I can wear through an entire pencil in a long day of writing! So, perhaps not for everyone, but being lefthanded I like a soft pencil that doesn't smudge.

Blackwing Pearl Pencil (12 Pencils)
Noticeably smoother than the 602. Both are brilliant but I think the Pearl is more versatile.
