The Blackwing 602 has a long history dating back to the 1930’s when it was first introduced by Eberhard Faber. The Blackwing 602 quickly became a favorite pencil of such luminaries as John Steinbeck, Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein and Chuck Jones. Each in their own right appreciated the premium quality of this fine writing instrument in their respective field of endeavor. In 1998, after several corporate acquisitions, the Black wing 602 stopped production but unused pencils could be found on eBay for as much as $40 for a single Blackwing pencil. Artists and writers of the Palomino pencils noted a similarity to the Blackwing 602 and began to request that the company revive the classic Blackwing 602 with the rectangular eraser. In 2010, Palomino re-introduced the Blackwing pencil featuring California genuine incense-cedar and premium Japanese graphite. Once you put this premium Blackwing pencil to paper you sense its beauty as it lays down a smooth line of graphite. As you write down your Ideas, sketch, or doddle on the page you will share in the embodiment of this wonderful pencil-and a long history of excellence.
