The legendary Palomino Blackwing is made in Japan from cedarwood and high-quality graphite. It's been the chosen pencil of pop-culture icons from Truman Capote to Quincy Jones. Milligram give this pencil our highest recommendation and won't run out of them too quickly with this pack of 12!

The Palomino Blackwing 602 is the modern reincarnation of the famous Eberhard-Faber Blackwing 602. The special-formula graphite lead behaves like a B lead but varies in appearance according to pressure - from HB (firm) lead to 4B (soft) lead.

It has a precise point with good point retention and makes a dark grey line. Its motto is emblazoned on the barrel - Half the pressure, twice the speed - and this is a great description of the writing experience.
The barrel is long and sleek, with a characteristic rectangular replaceable eraser.
