The roots of Blackwing go back to the 1930s, when the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company first introduced the 602 model. Over the years, the pencil with the unique rectangular eraser became synonymous with quality.
Then, in 1998, after several corporate acquisitions, it was discontinued, but it wasn't forgotten. In fact, fans started paying up to $40 on eBay for a single Blackwing pencil.
In 2007, they introduced their range of Palomino pencils with genuine incense cedar and premium Japanese graphite.
Leveraging their more than 100 years of family experience in the pencil industry, they reintroduced Blackwing pencils in 2010.
In the years since its revival, Blackwing has gone from being a simple pencil to a culture.
