Welcome, friends of the Blackwing executive team!

Your introduction to Blackwing and our customization program.

THE BLACKWING STORY

Blackwing pencils were used by award-winning creators throughout the 20th century. Despite a cult following that included John Steinbeck and Stephen Sondheim, Blackwing pencils fell victim to cost cutting measures in the 1990s and were discontinued. Devotees began paying as much as $40 for a single pencil. We acquired the brand in 2010, bringing Blackwing pencils back for a new generation of artists, musicians, and people who value craftsmanship, and the chance to unplug.

 



LET US HELP YOU TELL YOUR STORY

Impress your fans/clients and tell a great story with a branded Blackwing pencil or notebook. Branded Blackwing pencils are available in four unique and exclusive colorways: gloss black, white, grey, and natural. Programs start at $2 per pencil.

More in-depth customization options are also available for larger projects with select partners.
