Legendary Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer and Academy Award winners created their works with Blackwing 602 pens. The list of known users includes John Steinbeck, Looney Tunes creator Chuck Jones, and Disney animator Shamus Culhane, who wants to be buried with his Blackwing 602, according to animation historian Charles Soloman.


Blackwing's roots date back to the 1930s, when the 602 model was first introduced by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company. Over the years, the pencil with its unique rectangular eraser has become synonymous with quality. Then, in 1998, after several acquisitions, it was discontinued, but not forgotten. Fans have even begun paying up to $40 on eBay for a single Blackwing pen.


In 2007, the Palomino company launched the Palomino line of pens, using original incense cedar and quality Japanese graphite. Artists and writers began comparing them to their beloved Blackwing 602s, and people began asking Palomino to consider reviving the Blackwing brand. Palomino leveraged over 100 years of family-run pen industry experience to relaunch Blackwing pens in 2010. In the 10 years since its revival, Blackwing has grown from a single pen to a culture. A culture about living mindfully and finding balance in our fast-paced lives.


Each Blackwing pen has a timeless and distinctive look with its iconic design. It features a premium Japanese graphite tip crafted with clay for durability and wax for smoothness, and a genuine incense-cedar body from California and Oregon that sharpens evenly and easily. Its semi-hexagonal shape makes it easy to grasp.
