The Blackwing Pearl is a bit harder than the Blackwing Matte, but still soft and dark: a perfect all-round pencil.
• Best of both worlds
• Handles both writing and sketching effortlessly
Some of the world’s most legendary Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer and Academy Award winners have created with Blackwing pencils. The list of known users includes John Steinbeck, Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein and Chuck Jones (who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and countless other Looney Tunes characters). Discontinued in 1998, the Blackwing Pencil is now making a comeback.
