Blackwing
As a company rooted in craftsmanship, design and tradition, we make pencils. A ton of people, including some of our favorite artists and musicians, have touted Blackwing pencils as the most exceptional in the world. To accomplish this, we use the best materials possible. California Incense-cedar. Japanese graphite. And pencil artisans whose craftsmanship is unmatched. Blackwing pencils are very difficult, and expensive, to make. That’s why they disappeared for so many years, and why they cost more than a traditional yellow pencil. The act of writing with a Blackwing pencil is an intentional process that encourages mindfulness and presence. With each stroke, users engage their senses and foster a deeper connection with their thoughts and ideas. Unlike typing or tapping, the act of writing requires a degree of focus and attention that promotes a sense of calm and clarity.
