The Blackwing 602 features a firm and smooth graphite core that helps it deliver on its promise of “Half the Pressure, Twice the Speed,” a gunmetal grey finish and iconic square Blackwing ferrule with a pink eraser.
[ Extra Firm - Natural ]
The Blackwing Natural includes our popular extra-firm graphite that works well for extended writing and detailed line work.
Each pencil features an exposed Incense-cedar barrel with a subtle clear matte finish, iconic square Blackwing ferrule and grey eraser. Each set comes in a 12-pack gift box that doubles as a pencil cup.
