It is not very often that a new pencil is put on the market, especially one that gets anybody but a few select pencileers excited. This pencil has my attention.
The Blackwing Pearl
I don't have any information yet as to whether this is a new paint scheme or what but the marketing blast I got a couple of days ago says that it is "balanced and smooth" and that it is graphite.
I already see the existing 602 pencils as balanced and smooth and quite frankly it is now my favorite pencil on the market today. I cannot imagine an improvement. But anything is possible.
I emailed pencils.com asking if I could get my hands on an early release. We will see....
An independent guy who loves pencils, writing about them, reviewing them, promoting the use of them, sharpening them... He loves the smell of them, the feel of sharpening and using a vintage pencil... You get the idea.
