Blackwing Palomino is the second entry in his Blackwing Eras series.
Blackwing pencils were a favorite of award-winning creators throughout the 20th century.
Despite having a cult following, they were discontinued in the 1990s.
Devotees began paying up to $40 on eBay for a single pencil.
In the early 2000s, they used their access to the world's best wood, graphite, and artisan manufacturers to introduce a line of premium pencils they called Palomino.
The rumor surrounding Palomino led Blackwing fans to petition for him to try to bring Blackwing pencils back for a new generation. In 2010, they did just that.
It features extra-firm graphite, along with a "Palomino blue" body, distinctive gold stripe, Blackwing Palomino gold imprint, gold ferrule, and white eraser inspired by the Palomino pencils that paved the way for the Blackwing revival.
Also available is the Blackwing Palomino Orange.
