About Blackwing
Blackwing pencils use high quality graphite produced exclusively in Japan. In general, Palomino graphite pencils are smoother than more commonly available pencils due to the special formulation and processing methods used. Japanese consumers also prefer a darker and softer laydown so Japanese-produced leads tend to be softer and darker. This leads to differences of 1 to 2 degrees compared to other pencils.
Pencil cores are rated on a scale corresponding to the hardness or softness of the graphite. A harder pencil core will make a lighter mark on paper, while a softer core deposits more graphite on paper and, thus, leaves a darker mark. Softer pencils will dull more quickly than harder leads and require more frequent sharpening.
For more information about how pencils cores are graded, click here. Blackwing pencils are made out of 100% Genuine Incense-cedar wood which sharpens quickly and evenly, giving the pencil a smooth, sharp point (and it smells great too!).
