See what sets our pencils apart. HIGH-QUALITY TOOLS TO HELP YOU SLOW DOWN HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS & CRAFTSMANSHIP Only Blackwing pencils combine the graphite in the world, the best wood in the world, and generations of craftsmanship to create an exceptional pencil . SUSTAINABILITY & RENEWABILITY Blackwing pencils are made with high-quality Incense-cedar that only grows in the forests of northern California and southern Oregon. It is strictly regulated and sustainability harvested, unlike the rainforest and other unsustainable woods used in other pencils. EVERY PURCHASE GIVES BACK A portion of the sales from all Blackwing products benefits the Blackwing Foundation, which funds and develops life-changing arts and music education programs at the K-12 level. PENCILS WITH A STORY Blackwing 602 pencils were first introduced in the 1930s. Their superior quality and distinct look made them the pencil of choice for Pulitzer, Grammy, and Academy award-winning creators from Chuck Jones to John Steinbeck and Stephen Sondheim throughout the 20th century. The Blackwing went from a pencil to an icon. Then suddenly in the 1990s, after corporate jostling, they completely vanished. In 2010, we tapped into over 100 years of family-run pencil-making experience to reintroduce Blackwing pencils to a new generation of writers, artists, and makers. We scoured the planet to find the best raw materials, designers, and craftspeople to create the best possible pencil. Since its return, Blackwing has transformed from a single pencil into a movement. We create thoughtfully designed products to spark inspiration, get back in touch with your senses, and find balance in your day-to-day. Your time is precious and we want to help you create beautiful moments that will last because we know that life is just that much sweeter when we slow down. Our mission is to empower everyone with the tools and education to express their creativity even at an early age. A portion of every Blackwing purchase goes towards funding life-changing arts and music programs in public schools. Review: I’m in love with a pencil. - If I could date a pencil, I would date this pencil. Holy crap.. this is an amazing writing/drawing tool. A coworker first gave me one of the gray ones (602, I think) and I thought I was in love.. About 6 months later he gave me a natural one and I realized that I didn’t know what love really was until that moment. I swear these pencils are magic! Smooth and dark without hurting your hand. I like the extra firm over the softer ones because I tend to have a heavier hand when making marks so the tip seems to last longer. That being said, I wouldn’t cry if I was given the gray ones because there’s not a massive difference in performance…..but the natural are definitely my favorite. Review: The best pencil I have tried. - These are the finest pencils I have used. I mark up sheet music which comes with frequent erasures. For my use I need a pencil that leaves clear dark markings, a controllable width, easy clear erasures and long point life. Although a bit pricier than most these pencils are worth every penny of it! ## Features - PENCILS WITH HERITAGE – First created in the 1930’s, Blackwing built a cult following that included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. - PERFECT FOR ARTISTS AND MUSICIANS – With our soft and smooth Japanese graphite core, Blackwing Matte pencils are perfect for writers, musicians, and everyday users.

Holy crap.. this is an amazing writing/drawing tool. A coworker first gave me one of the gray ones (602, I think) and I thought I was in love.. About 6 months later he gave me a natural one and I realized that I didn’t know what love really was until that moment. I swear these pencils are magic! Smooth and dark without hurting your hand.

That being said, I wouldn’t cry if I was given the gray ones because there’s not a massive difference in performance…..but the natural are definitely my favorite. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best pencil I have tried. *by R***N on May 10, 2026* These are the finest pencils I have used. I mark up sheet music which comes with frequent erasures. For my use I need a pencil that leaves clear dark markings, a controllable width, easy clear erasures and long point life. Although a bit pricier than most these pencils are worth every penny of it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth Every Penny *by E***S on December 16, 2025* I used to swear by the black ones, but these are slightly harder yet just about as dark, and the lines are cleaner. Excellent for writing music, specifically, but also words, and drawing, which people are probably doing more often than writing music with them. Which is too bad. A lost art, writing music. People still do it! I do. To what end, I have no idea. But these are the pencils to waste your life with, if that's your plan! The quality is just spectacular, and the graphite is >chef's kiss<. You really do get what you pay for. Three dollars for a pencil? Worth every penny-cil. ## Frequently Bought Together - Blackwing Matte Pencils - 12 Count, Red Finish, 3B Soft Lead, Premium Wood, Japanese Graphite, Great for Drawing - Blackwing Point Guards - Set of 3, Protects Pencil Points, Mixed Color Pack (Gold, Silver, and Black), Lightweight Machined Aluminum - Blackwing One-Step Long Point Sharpener, German Steel Blade, Creates Sharp Long Curved Point, Easy to Use, Black, Pack of 1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/707983588-matte-pencils-12-count-red-finish-3b-soft-lead-premium](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/707983588-matte-pencils-12-count-red-finish-3b-soft-lead-premium) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
