The Blackwing 602 features a firm and smooth graphite core, emblazoned wth the classic slogan “Half the Pressure, Twice the Speed.” The standard 602 sports a gunmetal grey finish and the iconic square Blackwing ferrule with a replaceable pink eraser.

We love Blackwing pencils not just because of their iconic look, but because of their excellent graphite that is available in multiple grades, including extra firm (Natural), firm (602), balanced (Pearl), and soft (Matte).

Blackwing 602 pencils are sold only by the dozen.
