Blackwing 24 pays homage to Pulitzer Prize-winning author John Steinbeck.
Designed under the guidance of his son, the accomplished author Thomas Steinbeck, they have attempted to create what would have been John Steinbeck's ideal pencil.
Thom insisted that his father would want it to be black, from barrel to eraser. It would also need to be tuned to a firm point without sacrificing much, if any, darkness.
The Blackwing 24 is just that: a completely black pencil with a new graphite formulation perfect for extended writing.
A hard-to-find pencil.
