Excellent for writing music, specifically, but also words, and drawing, which people are probably doing more often than writing music with them. Which is too bad. A lost art, writing music. People still do it! I do. To what end, I have no idea. But these are the pencils to waste your life with, if that's your plan! The quality is just spectacular, and the graphite is >chef's kiss<. You really do get what you pay for. Three dollars for a pencil? Worth every penny-cil. Review: One of the Best General Doodling/Sketching Pencils our There - These are hands down my favorite and potentially one of the best doodle/all around sketch pencil out there. While they are certainly pricier, they are worth it. I’ve had my original set for years and I still have 6 pencils I haven’t even touched yet. I knew these would be my go tos for years to come so I bought another set. Different style, but same lead quality as the previous ones I have with the black eraser. Reasons why I live these: 1 lead does not break easily in any sharpener. I only had the lead break once and that was because I really screwed up the angle of the blade to the pencil and was really rough with it. I have been able to sharpen these in electric, Long point, and metal sharpeners along with an X-Acto knife 2. They feel good to hold. Like seriously I feel my brain and hand are more in sync with these pencils and they just help with the work flow of my drawing getting it from my mind to the paper. Easy to hold and control the pressure. Not to mention the way the eraser end is made, it still allowed me to draw with a semi awkward grip even when it was a literal stub (ie no more pencil left and just the pointed part). This allowed me to use it until the last possible moment 3. The lead glides so nickels on all paper types. I’ve drawn in Bristol and papers with tougher textures and the pencil glides so well but still providing enough friction for control. A great all rounder based on the pressure you use allowing you to lightly doodle to drawing darker outlines to even basic shading. All with one pencil. Makes it great as a traveling tool when you want to practice or get tough ideas out. 4. It erases pretty cleanly. The erasers work reasonably well given not as well as my kneadable or vinyl erasers, but for use with just this pencil, they get the job done. The shake of the eraser allows for more control in the size of the area you want to erase and you don’t need to use a lot of pressure. Not to mention you can pull it out and extend the eraser when you have rubbed it down too much. Though depending on how much you erase, they don’t feel they will last the full life if the pencil itself. ## Features - PENCILS WITH HERITAGE – First created in the 1930’s, Blackwing built a following that included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. Discontinued in the 90’s, devotees paid as much as $40 a pencil. In 2010, we revived the Blackwing brand for a new generation of writers, musicians, and others seeking a more natural existence. - PERFECT FOR ILLUSTRATORS AND CALLIGRAPHERS – With our balanced and smooth Japanese graphite core, Blackwing Pearl pencils are perfect for illustrators, UI/UX designers, and woodworkers. Use for a line that is softer than the Blackwing 602, but firmer than the Blackwing, and all without excessive sharpening. - UNIQUE ICONIC DESIGN – Blackwing’s unique and iconic rectangular erasers are synonymous with quality. Each of our pencils features a specially designed ferrule, allowing you to extend or replace the eraser. - COMMITMENT TO QUALITY – Blackwing Pearl pencils are made with the finest materials in the world, including Genuine Incense-cedar from California and premium Japanese graphite. - HOW WE GIVE BACK – A portion of the sales from all Blackwing products benefit the Blackwing Foundation, which funds and develops arts and music education at the K-12 level. Your purchase helps provide, among other things, the instruction, learning environment and instruments children need to participate in the Little Kids’ Rock Modern Band Program. - HELPING YOU SLOW DOWN – We believe that it's important and healthy to find balance in our increasingly digital lives. Our products encourage you to live creatively, intentionally, and mindfully. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00CM3K3QY | | Additional Features | Eco Friendly, Erasable, Ergonomic, Iconic, Made in Japan | | Age Range (Description) | All Ages | | Age Range Description | All Ages | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,462 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #15 in Woodcase Lead Pencils | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Blackwing | | Brand Name | Blackwing | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,647 Reviews | | Drill Point | Medium | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00820933110528 | | Grip Type | Not Obtainable | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | 2B | | Included Components | Eraser | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Diameter | 0.5 Centimeters | | Item Dimensions | 8.13 x 1.63 x 1.63 inches | | Line Size | 0.5mm | | Manufacturer | Blackwing | | Material | Incense-cedar | | Material Type | Incense-cedar | | Model Name | Blackwing Pearl - White | | Model Number | 105331 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Calligraphy, Drawing, Note Taking, Painting, Sketching, Writing | | Style | 2B | | Subject Character | Blackwing | | Theme | Music | | UPC | 799198222959 820933110528 | | Unit Count | 12.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Graphite Pencil | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All Ages - **Brand:** Blackwing - **Color:** White - **Ink Color:** Black - **Writing Instrument Form:** Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Blackwing Pearl - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mNpv2fA2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this pencil oriented to more drawing or writing?** A: The ones I had were white and were a siste softer dark lead. They dulled too fast for me to write with. I don't remember their designation, they we're given to me. Palomino Pearl is all I remember. I linked them enough to find the harder graphite ones this time. These 602 whatever's are great for writing. The grey painted ones. **Q: Is it number 2? Or more broadly, will it work on standardized tests?** A: The Blackwing 602 is a 2B lead, which is softer and darker than a #2. Would it work on a standardized test? probably. But they are not a #2 pencil so use at your own risk. For a number two you can't go wrong with a Dixon Ticonderoga. FYI when shopping a #2 lead in USA is equal to a HB lead internationally. You could call it the pencil lead metric system... **Q: What is the difference between the 602 and the standard blackwing pencils?** A: You need to read the descriptions or go to the website. I like the Pearl and the 602's but just for short writing periods. For whatever reason my hand gets tired with both the pearl and 602 after much writing. I feel like I have to press harder. Both are soft leads. I prefer the Natural which is harder than a 602 and wears down less, and is darker. I don't have to press harder to get the look I like. I have about 10 different pencils I bought off eBay to see what I liked. Each one is different but similar. I love allll their pencils, but I'm sticking with the Natural as my favorite. I hope that helps. All are super smooth, flowing... **Q: Is this "the reincarnation" of the eberhard faber blackwing 602 as in the same, just different appearance or name? or is it better or worse?** A: The Palomino Blackwing 602 can be considered a revival of the EF BW 602. The product is now produced with California incense-cedar and smooth Japanese graphite. "better or worse" is a subjective question as the original pencil went through several iterations over the years it was in production. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth Every Penny *by E***S on December 16, 2025* I used to swear by the black ones, but these are slightly harder yet just about as dark, and the lines are cleaner.

The lead writes easily. Perhaps it is just knowing the history of the Blackwing 602 and all the brilliant artist of the 20th century who used the original Blackwing that makes the 602 seem special, or maybe its just the outrageous price for a pack of pencils that convinces the mind that this is a superior pencil in order to justify the cost. Note, these pencils do not last long as the soft lead transfer to the paper so quickly and you have to sharpen more often than you are accustomed to do with other pencils. Therefore it is suggested to buy their plastic sharpener that has two sharpeners for the 602: one to remove the wood; the other to hone and actually sharpen the lead as the first hole leaves the lead in tack, which is a thick end too awkward to utilize for your work. This seeming drawback of constantly sharpening not once but twice per sharpening is a corporate committee's nightmare of inefficiency and seemingly wasted time management, however, for the artistic type, the artists, composers, writers, or simply those brave enough to think outside the box of all the zombies of the world, that is, all the followers who never think for themselves and simply believe what they were told and never question their cherished and most likely outdated beliefs, this constant sharpening is the mother's milk of creativity because it becomes a ritual, the two times sharpening every time you sharpen, and this ritual makes the artist feel like a) he is doing something that must be done other than actually creating, b) whilst sharpening she gives her unconscious mind the rest and space that it needs to dredge up the new, the unconventional, the original ideas that creativity is all about, that is, the time spent sharpening is the time that the creative mind requires to do its work, c) every time the artist has to sharpen it means that he or she went through so much lead, that is, the artist is actually doing so much creative work, therefore the artist subconsciously knows that he is getting a lot of work done because the lead is constantly running low in its attempt to keep up with the artist creative productivity. Lastly, a pencil is a lost art and gives a quiet serenity and focus to a work that it is more difficult to achieve with the laptop simply because there is no email or facebook on the pencil where there is on the laptop/computer screen. The 602 is NOT the original Blackwing from yore, HOWEVER, the Blackwing 602 is designed almost identically to the originals so much so that you need not sift through ebay to pay $200 plus dollars per pack just so that you have bragging rights, the pencil itself is not art though it lends itself well to creating art. This is to say that the Blackwing 602 is the clone of the original out of production Blackwing. Note there are Blackwing pencils being sold but they are NOT clones of the original Blackwings, thus be sure to purchase the Blackwing 602. The now in production Blackwing have a harder lead and slightly different color. Again, there are three Blackwings: the original out of production Blackwing purchasable on ebay for $$$; the now in production Blackwing that is NOT a clone of the original; and finally the now in production Blackwing 602 that is a clone of the original with the soft lead and the benefits as described above. ## Frequently Bought Together - Blackwing Pearl Pencils - 12 Count, Incense-cedar, Premium Japanese Graphite, Pearlescent White, Balanced Lead, Great for Journaling and Writing - Blackwing One-Step Long Point Sharpener, German Steel Blade, Machined Aluminum, Compact Design, Black - Blackwing Two-Step Long Point Pencil Sharpener, White Color, German Steel Blades, Pack of 1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/3942076-blackwing-pearl](https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/3942076-blackwing-pearl) --- *Product available on Desertcart Israel* *Store origin: IL* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
