Palomino

The Palomino Blackwing is the modern reincarnation of the famous Eberhard-Faber Blackwing. It is an excellent pencil for sketching. The special-formula graphite lead behaves like a soft 4B lead pencil but is unusually smooth. Described as being like writing with black velvet, the Blackwing is soft and easy to use.

The soft, broad point draws a black line and wears easily down to a soft sketch-friendly shape. The barrel is long and sleek, with a characteristic rectangular replaceable eraser.

The Palomino Blackwing Long Point Pencil Sharpener is the perfect complement to your Blackwing. Designed specifically to sharpen a long point, it has a genius two-part design: the left blade sharpens the wood and the right blade crafts a fine lead point.

It comes with two KUM replacement blades (made in Germany) and has an automatic brake to prevent over sharpening. It suits all conventional lead pencils with barrel width under 8mm.

The Palomino Blackwing Pearl features a lustrous pearl white finish and black eraser, along with a balanced and smooth graphite core that is softer than the graphite found in the Palomino Blackwing 602, but firmer than the graphite found in the Palomino Blackwing. You won't run out of them too quickly with this pack of 12!

The list of known Blackwing users includes John Steinbeck, Stephen Sondheim, and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwing's to create Bugs Bunny and countless other Looney Tunes characters.

Now, Blackwing's are assisting a new generation of writers, artists and musicians including Grammy Award-winning Sugarland member Kristian Bush and Ren & Stimpy creator Bob Camp.
