Ah, the flight of fancy of Blackwing

"During a poetry workshop many ears, ago I watched a really good poet write with a pencil. I decided to begin writing with a pencil (after many years not). But I couldn’t find a pencil that suited my needs until I discovered Blackwing pencils. (I had read that some of our greatest writers used Blackwing. ) Since my first time writing with the Blackwing, I don’t use any other pencil. The Black Soft Pencil is my favorite."

— Leilani S. (5/5)

An indispensible tool for graphite work

"The soft core Blackwing is indispensible for both quick sketches and detailed drawings. The core is lusciously buttery and makes satisfying dark lines; however, a light touch renders a still solid, yet more delicate mark. With a bit of practice, one can forego a set of graphite pencils and merely use this. **Nota bene: this core is soft and requires more frequent sharpening, which is best done in a hand sharpener."

Favorite Soft Lead Pencils

"Without doubt, the Blacking Matte are the pencils I keep close at hand. I continue to 'stock up' in the event that the world disagrees with my high opinion of these very useful pencils. . . . . unlikely but one never knows. . . ."

— Don W. (5/5)

Just Like the Old Days

"I have three versions of the Blacking pencils. This one, the softest, is absolutely my favourite and reminds me of the pencils we would hoard and not share in fear of never seeing them again. My art student days are long past but these pencils bring back long dormant memories and inspire my amateur sketchbook efforts."

— Don W. (5/5)

"I ordered these pencils a few years back. Recently, I re-ordered them because they are, to be succinct, exceptional."
