Engineered with a marginally firmer graphite composition than its classic counterpart, this pencil delivers the signature soft, dark mark that has made Blackwing legendary among creative professionals. Its 3B-equivalent lead performs equally well for both writing and detailed illustration work. Distinctive in appearance, the Pearl features a pristine white barrel complemented by the iconic square ferrule in gold and a precision-engineered eraser. Crafted in Japan from sustainably sourced Californian incense-cedar, the pencil combines aesthetic refinement with functional excellence. The accompanying gift box serves a dual purpose as a practical pencil cup, making it equally suitable for personal use or presentation. This is the pencil favoured by literary giants including John Steinbeck and Stephen Sondheim, as well as animation pioneers like Chuck Jones. After discontinuation in 1998, Blackwing has been restored to production, reclaiming its position as the preferred instrument for Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer and Academy Award recipients worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow big is it?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e20cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat else goes well with this?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe blackwing \u003ca title=\"Blackwing point guard at Task in Hand\" href=\"https:\/\/www.taskinhand.co.uk\/products\/blackwing-point-guard-gold?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=blackwin\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003epoint guard\u003c\/a\u003e is a must for keeping that point sharp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnything else I should know?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eShop everything blackwings \u003ca title=\"Blackwings at Task in Hand\" href=\"https:\/\/www.taskinhand.co.uk\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=blackwings\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackwing","offers":[{"title":"Single Blackwing","offer_id":52276100301137,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Box of 12","offer_id":52276100366673,"sku":null,"price":32.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/9397\/6401\/files\/White_blackwing.jpg?v=1762290247","url":"https:\/\/www.taskinhand.co.uk\/products\/blackwing-pencil-pearl","provider":"Task In Hand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
