The iconic Blackwing was the pencil of choice for John Steinbeck, Chuck Jones, and countless others before it was discontinued. In 2011, it came back for a new generation of analog-minded folks. 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. Blackwing 602 pencils come in a 12-pack gift box that doubles as a pencil cup.
