Blackwing Eras (2025 Edition) - Set of 12

This special edition pencil is the sixth entry in our Blackwing Eras series - honoring Blackwing's heritage with designs inspired by the Blackwing 602's unique history.

In 2020, we launched our first Eras pencil celebrating 10 years of the Blackwing revival with a design pulled straight from the 1930s. This year, on the 15th anniversary of the Blackwing revival, we're celebrating the more recent past.

This Eras pencil sports a gold-banded design inspired by the pencil that kicked off the Blackwing revival in 2010. Each box includes 12 special edition pencils that feature a matte black barrel, gold stripe, gold ferrule, white eraser, and our soft graphite. Each pencil also features a debossed horse emblem stamped on the barrel that is an ode to the logo on the 2010 design.

Blackwing pencils started in the 1930’s and gained fans among some of the world's leading writers and artists. When the company folded in 1998 people began scouring the internet for Blackwing pencils. After a strange series of events, the founder of Palomino, a longtime California pencil company, reinstated the iconic Blackwing 602 pencil as well as offering a modified version with slightly softer lead for artists. Thought by many to be the best writing instrument in the world for simplicity, shape and quality lead, Blackwing, once again has a whole line of products on offer.
