Blackwing Graphite Pencils - Pearl Blue

The balanced Blackwing in blue. Firm point, dark graphite, pearlescent finish.

Why This Exists

The Blackwing Pearl Blue features the same balanced graphite core as the classic Pearl — softer than the 602, firmer than the Matte — now in a striking pearlescent blue finish. A favorite of calligraphers and illustrators who need both control and expression.

Made with California incense-cedar and premium Japanese graphite, the Pearl Blue combines versatility with style. The pearlescent blue barrel, denim blue eraser, and iconic square ferrule make it unmistakable. Same legendary performance, fresh new look.
