Who is Blackwing BTW?
Blackwing is a revived brand that originally began as a sub-brand of Eberhard Faber Pencil Company. It was discontinued in 1990 with pencils going for upwards of USD 40 for deadstock pencils. The brand was relaunched in 2010.
Where can I cop?
A box of 12 pencils is available now via Blackwing602.com and a portion of Blackwing sales goes directly to the Blackwing Foundation for arts and music participation for K-12 kids.
