HIGH-QUALITY TOOLS TO HELP YOU SLOW DOWN HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS & CRAFTSMANSHIP Only Blackwing pencils combine the graphite in the world, the best wood in the world, and generations of craftsmanship to create an exceptional pencil . SUSTAINABILITY & RENEWABILITY Blackwing pencils are made with high-quality Incense-cedar that only grows in the forests of northern California and southern Oregon. It is strictly regulated and sustainability harvested, unlike the rainforest and other unsustainable woods used in other pencils. EVERY PURCHASE GIVES BACK A portion of the sales from all Blackwing products benefits the Blackwing Foundation, which funds and develops life-changing arts and music education programs at the K-12 level. PENCILS WITH A STORY Blackwing 602 pencils were first introduced in the 1930s. Their superior quality and distinct look made them the pencil of choice for Pulitzer, Grammy, and Academy award-winning creators from Chuck Jones to John Steinbeck and Stephen Sondheim throughout the 20th century. The Blackwing went from a pencil to an icon. Then suddenly in the 1990s, after corporate jostling, they completely vanished. In 2010, we tapped into over 100 years of family-run pencil-making experience to reintroduce Blackwing pencils to a new generation of writers, artists, and makers. We scoured the planet to find the best raw materials, designers, and craftspeople to create the best possible pencil. Since its return, Blackwing has transformed from a single pencil into a movement. We create thoughtfully designed products to spark inspiration, get back in touch with your senses, and find balance in your day-to-day. Your time is precious and we want to help you create beautiful moments that will last because we know that life is just that much sweeter when we slow down. Our mission is to empower everyone with the tools and education to express their creativity even at an early age. A portion of every Blackwing purchase goes towards funding life-changing arts and music programs in public schools. Review: I’m in love with a pencil. - If I could date a pencil, I would date this pencil. Holy crap.. this is an amazing writing/drawing tool. A coworker first gave me one of the gray ones (602, I think) and I thought I was in love.. About 6 months later he gave me a natural one and I realized that I didn’t know what love really was until that moment. I swear these pencils are magic! Smooth and dark without hurting your hand. I like the extra firm over the softer ones because I tend to have a heavier hand when making marks so the tip seems to last longer. That being said, I wouldn’t cry if I was given the gray ones because there’s not a massive difference in performance…..but the natural are definitely my favorite. Review: The best pencil I have tried. - These are the finest pencils I have used. I mark up sheet music which comes with frequent erasures. For my use I need a pencil that leaves clear dark markings, a controllable width, easy clear erasures and long point life. Although a bit pricier than most these pencils are worth every penny of it! ## Features - PENCILS WITH HERITAGE – First created in the 1930’s, Blackwing built a cult following that included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. - PERFECT FOR ARTISTS AND MUSICIANS – With our soft and smooth Japanese graphite core, Blackwing Matte pencils are perfect for writers, musicians, and everyday users. Use when you want a soft, dark line without excessive sharpening. The softest of our four core Blackwing models. - UNIQUE ICONIC DESIGN – Blackwing’s unique and iconic rectangular erasers are synonymous with quality. Each of our pencils also features a specially designed ferrule, allowing you to extend or replace the eraser. - COMMITMENT TO QUALITY – Blackwing pencils are made with the finest materials in the world, including Genuine Incense-cedar from California and premium Japanese graphite. - HOW WE GIVE BACK – A portion of the sales from all Blackwing products benefit the Blackwing Foundation and its mission to keep arts and music programs in public schools. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006CQWILK | | Additional Features | Erasable, Ergonomic, Incense-cedar Wood, Japanese Graphite, Replaceable Eraser | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,128 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #16 in Woodcase Lead Pencils | | Body Shape | Square | | Brand | Blackwing | | Brand Name | Blackwing | | Closure Type | Twist | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 5,664 Reviews | | Drill Point | Bold | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00820933110245, 21069422919768 | | Grip Type | Rectangular | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | Soft Graphite | | Included Components | Eraser | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Diameter | 0.8 Centimeters | | Item Dimensions | 8.13 x 1.63 x 1.63 inches | | Item Type Name | Pencil | | Item Weight | 4.8 ounces | | Line Size | 0.9 | | Manufacturer | Blackwing | | Material | Blackwing | | Material Type | Blackwing | | Model Name | Blackwing Matte - Black | | Model Number | 105329 | | Pattern | single item | | Recommended Uses For Product | Art, Carpentry, Drawing, Marking Out, Note Taking, Painting, Sketching, Writing | | Style | Modern | | Theme | Artistic | | UPC | 820933110245 | | Unit Count | 12.0 Count | | Warranty Description | We will replace defective or damaged products. | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Graphite Pencil | | Writing Technique | pencil lead | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Blackwing - **Color:** Black - **Ink Color:** Black - **Writing Instrument Form:** Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Blackwing Matte Pencils - 12 Count - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61uIaG-Mp+L.jpg) ![Blackwing Matte Pencils - 12 Count - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gy8+8PnkL.jpg) ![Blackwing Matte Pencils - 12 Count - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7173E0J6ViL.jpg) ![Blackwing Matte Pencils - 12 Count - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gswPwRvSL.jpg) ![Blackwing Matte Pencils - 12 Count - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eWvIKWjlL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I too have never heard of these, & like one reviewer I love writing instruments. Is the long point sharpener a must?** A: No. But I bought one anyway. Being an Artist I have more erasers, manual and electric than any one person needs. But whatever, I had to TRY it. 😂 It's not a must. I use what is at hand. They sharpen nicely with just about anything. I have at least ten different Blackening pencils. The leads a very sturdy whether you use a traditional point sharpener or a long point sharpener. They are made to reduce constant sharpening for those of us who love a sharp point. The erasers are extendable, fabulous and replaceable! $2.99 for a ten pack in lots of colors at the website. Best pencils everrrrr. **Q: Do these smear on paper/hands (Left handed person asking)** A: I have not used them much yet, but I believe because of their creamy softness, they would smear rather easily. As a lefty, do you ever put a clean sheet of scrap paper under your hand when drawing to keep the paper clean? **Q: In school #2 pencils have to be used for test. Are these #2? My son really wants them.** A: They're certainly darker than #2, which means they're fine for tests. The #2 requirement is to ensure students don't use lighter pencils which the test-reading machines may fail to "see," but Blackwings are quite dark. They are also erasable, in case he has second thoughts about an answer (the reason #2 pencils are preferred over pens is that pens are not erasable). **Q: How does the Blackwing compare to the Mirado Black warrior and the Black Ticonderoga?** A: The Blackwing writes faster and smoother than either of those options. Honestly, I have had bad luck with the Mirado Black Warrior lead being "scratchy" on the paper, and I strongly dislike the Mirado's eraser. I've only ever had one "bad" Black Ticonderoga but it's the one I'm using now. But the Blackwing is still far smoother than the Ticonderoga. It also has a darker line, but it stays sharp just as long. The quality of the finish is also better if that matters to you, with a matte black very sharp paint. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m in love with a pencil. *by M***M on April 8, 2026* If I could date a pencil, I would date this pencil.

I mark up sheet music which comes with frequent erasures. For my use I need a pencil that leaves clear dark markings, a controllable width, easy clear erasures and long point life. Although a bit pricier than most these pencils are worth every penny of it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth Every Penny *by E***S on December 16, 2025* I used to swear by the black ones, but these are slightly harder yet just about as dark, and the lines are cleaner. Excellent for writing music, specifically, but also words, and drawing, which people are probably doing more often than writing music with them. Which is too bad. A lost art, writing music. People still do it! I do. To what end, I have no idea. But these are the pencils to waste your life with, if that's your plan! The quality is just spectacular, and the graphite is >chef's kiss<. You really do get what you pay for. Three dollars for a pencil? Worth every penny-cil. ## Frequently Bought Together - Blackwing Matte Pencils - 12 Count - Blackwing One-Step Long Point Sharpener, German Steel Blade, Machined Aluminum, Compact Design, Black - Blackwing Two-Step Long Point Pencil Sharpener, Grey, German Steel Blades, Creates Sharp Long Pencil Point, Pack of 1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/3886827-blackwing-matte-pencils-12-count](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/3886827-blackwing-matte-pencils-12-count) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
