We didn't stock regular pencils, long believing that a good mechanical pencil was far superior than sharpening a twig. Then I was given a Blackwing to try. I was wrong, and we got them in. The smoothness of the writing is unrivaled.
This is the modern reincarnation of the famous Eberhard-Faber Blackwing 602. Ideal for writers because of its ability to hold a point, the original 602 was favoured by famous writers such as John Steinbeck, as well as more modern writers.
The pencil is made from FSC certified cedar, and features replaceable erasers.
Blackwing Pencils have various graphite hardness:
Matte - soft
Pearl - mid-weight
602 - firm
Natural - extra firm
Don't forget the Blackwing sharpener to ensure you get the most from your pencil, and extra erasers for backup!
