The amount of eraser material is generous, but what makes the eraser even more unique is its ability to be replaced. The eraser is flat, which makes erasing a bit more precise. The wood inside of each pencil is sturdy and hard, making sharpening with a blade or standard pencil sharpener easy. This pencil set wasn’t cheap at nearly $28, and I wouldn’t recommend spending this much for just 3 pencils.Įach pencil features a hexagonal body of standard length with a flat eraser at the end. I ordered a three pencil set which included a “Pearl” pencil, a “Matte” pencil, and the famed “602” pencil. Now, this must be one amazing pencil – right? Pearl, Matte, and 602 And if someone is willing to pay this much, there must be something to it.īlackwing also reports on their site that famed illustrator, Shamus Culhane loved this pencil so much that he requested to be buried with it. (This is according to the Blackwing website.) Now, that’s a lot of money for one pencil. When this pencil was temporarily discontinued in 1998, it was rumored to be sold on Ebay for upwards of $40 – for one pencil. But before I get into the review, I’d like to share a little back story regarding these pencils.īlackwing pencils have been around for a while – well one pencil in particular – the 602 pencil. I decided to order a few pencils and give them a chance. They are clearly expensive, but is this added expense over other pencil options worth it? I had heard of these pencils and wondered what the hype was all about. In this lesson and pencil review, we’ll take a look at Blackwing pencils.
