To meet popular demand, Blackwing released a natural-finish version of their iconic pencil featuring extra-firm graphite, perfect for long writing sessions due to its excellent point retention. The Blackwing “Natural” features a, well, unvarnished natural wood barrel, a gold ferrule, and a replaceable grey 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 Natural pencils are sold only by the dozen.
