Matte Black pencils are THE original Blackwing pencils. Ideal for illustrators and musicians who prefer a soft, dark line, the Blackwing was launched by California Republic Stationers in October 2010 as a modern version of the iconic Eberhard-Faber Blackwing pencil that was favoured by artists such as Stephen Sondheim and Frank Lloyd Wright. Made in Japan with FSC-certified cedarwood, it is amazingly smooth and beautiful. Blackwing IS the worlds best pencil. The Blackwing Matte pencil is recommended for drawing, sketching and shading. If you want a writing pencil, check out the Blackwing 602 pencil.

The list of known Blackwing users includes John Steinbeck, Stephen Sondheim, and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwing pencils to create Bugs Bunny and countless other Looney Tunes characters.
