Blackwing 602 (Firm)
Known for its legendary “Half the Pressure, Twice the Speed” motto, the 602 features a firm graphite core. It's ideal for precise writing, note-taking, and technical drawing thanks to its smooth, controlled performance.
Blackwing Matte (Soft)
With its extra soft graphite, the Matte excels in creating rich, dark lines—perfect for sketching, shading, and expressive drawing. The matte black finish and sleek black eraser add a touch of style.
