Blackwing

Blackwing pencils are a renowned product in the pencil world, with a rich history that stretches back nearly a century. They were first introduced in the 1930s, became unavailable in the 1990s and early 2000s, and then made a comeback in 2010 thanks to CalCedar. Originally produced by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Blackwing earned a reputation for being the smoothest and darkest pencils available. 

Today's Blackwing pencils rank among the best worldwide. Made with Japenese graphite and American incense cedar body, they are both luxurious and dependable. They also release four limited edition pencils annually, called Volumes. These special editions are made in small batches, and once they're gone, they're gone.
