The legendary Blackwing 602 is made in Japan from cedarwood and high-quality graphite.
The chosen pencil of pop-culture icons from Truman Capote to Quincy Jones, the 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.
