Blackwing 602 Pencil (12 Pencils)
Description
The Blackwing 602 is the stuff of legend—once favoured by John Steinbeck, Chuck Jones, and a long line of creators who knew a good tool when they felt one. Revived in 2011, it still delivers that famously firm, smooth graphite designed for speed and control, living up to its cheeky promise of “Half the Pressure, Twice the Speed.” You get a gunmetal grey finish, the unmistakable square ferrule, and a pink eraser that’s far more charming than any eraser has the right to be. Made from renewable Californian incense-cedar, the pencil feels beautifully balanced in the hand and never fights back, even during long writing sessions. Your 12-pack arrives in a gift box that doubles, rather conveniently, as a pencil cup—so your desk never looks anything other than purposeful.
What Makes It Work So Well
-
Firm, Smooth Graphite: The iconic 602 core always gives you controlled, satisfying lines—never scratchy, never sluggish.
-
Design Loved for Decades: The gunmetal finish, square ferrule, and pink eraser create a pencil with character you notice instantly.
-
Practical to the Last Detail: Crafted from renewable incense-cedar and housed in a box that doubles as a pencil cup, you never wrestle with storage or waste.
