"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."
"Pricer than pencils usually bought from big box stores, but glad that we now have reliable, quality pencils--recommend!"
"Classic Blackwing but with a soft core. It draws like silk on paper."
"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. . . ."
"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."
"I ordered these pencils a few years back. Recently, I re-ordered them because they are, to be succinct, exceptional."
"Writes nice and dark. Reminds me of the pencils I learned to write with 60 years ago. Erases cleanly."
"Creamy!"
"They love their pencils!"
"I love this sharpener as much as the pencils. O can take it with me to keep my pencils ready to go!"
