The Blackwing Pearl is the “middle” grade Blackwing pencil, featuring a “balanced” graphite that splits the difference between the 602 and the Blackwing Matte. Features a white finish, a gold ferrule, and a replaceable white 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 Pearl pencils are sold only by the dozen.
