Blackwing pencils are legendary: they make thoughtfully designed pencils, notebooks, and tools - as well as championing small businesses.

Each Blackwing Volumes 71 pencil features a silhouette of one of Wright’s iconic perforated boards, printed in a muted, midcentury palette. The area around the board is unfilled, letting the natural wood of the pencil shine through. Each pencil also includes a copper ferrule and extra-firm graphite.
