See what sets our pencils apart. HIGH-QUALITY TOOLS TO HELP YOU SLOW DOWN HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS & CRAFTSMANSHIP Only Blackwing pencils combine the graphite in the world, the best wood in the world, and generations of craftsmanship to create an exceptional pencil . SUSTAINABILITY & RENEWABILITY Blackwing pencils are made with high-quality Incense-cedar that only grows in the forests of northern California and southern Oregon. It is strictly regulated and sustainability harvested, unlike the rainforest and other unsustainable woods used in other pencils. EVERY PURCHASE GIVES BACK A portion of the sales from all Blackwing products benefits the Blackwing Foundation, which funds and develops life-changing arts and music education programs at the K-12 level. PENCILS WITH A STORY Blackwing 602 pencils were first introduced in the 1930s. Their superior quality and distinct look made them the pencil of choice for Pulitzer, Grammy, and Academy award-winning creators from Chuck Jones to John Steinbeck and Stephen Sondheim throughout the 20th century. The Blackwing went from a pencil to an icon. Then suddenly in the 1990s, after corporate jostling, they completely vanished. In 2010, we tapped into over 100 years of family-run pencil-making experience to reintroduce Blackwing pencils to a new generation of writers, artists, and makers. We scoured the planet to find the best raw materials, designers, and craftspeople to create the best possible pencil. Since its return, Blackwing has transformed from a single pencil into a movement. We create thoughtfully designed products to spark inspiration, get back in touch with your senses, and find balance in your day-to-day. Your time is precious and we want to help you create beautiful moments that will last because we know that life is just that much sweeter when we slow down. Our mission is to empower everyone with the tools and education to express their creativity even at an early age. A portion of every Blackwing purchase goes towards funding life-changing arts and music programs in public schools. ## Features - PENCILS WITH HERITAGE – First created in the 1930’s, Blackwing built a following that included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. Discontinued in the 90’s, devotees paid as much as $40 a pencil. In 2010, we revived the Blackwing brand for a new generation of writers, musicians, and others seeking a more natural existence. - PERFECT FOR ILLUSTRATORS AND CALLIGRAPHERS – With our balanced and smooth Japanese graphite core, Blackwing Pearl pencils are perfect for illustrators, UI/UX designers, and woodworkers. Use for a line that is softer than the Blackwing 602, but firmer than the Blackwing, and all without excessive sharpening. - UNIQUE ICONIC DESIGN – Blackwing’s unique and iconic rectangular erasers are synonymous with quality. Each of our pencils features a specially designed ferrule, allowing you to extend or replace the eraser. - COMMITMENT TO QUALITY – Blackwing Pearl pencils are made with the finest materials in the world, including Genuine Incense-cedar from California and premium Japanese graphite. - HOW WE GIVE BACK – A portion of the sales from all Blackwing products benefit the Blackwing Foundation, which funds and develops arts and music education at the K-12 level. Your purchase helps provide, among other things, the instruction, learning environment and instruments children need to participate in the Little Kids’ Rock Modern Band Program. - HELPING YOU SLOW DOWN – We believe that it's important and healthy to find balance in our increasingly digital lives. Our products encourage you to live creatively, intentionally, and mindfully. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00CM3K3QY | | Additional Features | Eco Friendly, Erasable, Ergonomic, Iconic, Made in Japan | | Age Range (Description) | All Ages | | Age Range Description | All Ages | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,446 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #14 in Woodcase Lead Pencils | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Blackwing | | Brand Name | Blackwing | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 5,661 Reviews | | Drill Point | Medium | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00820933110528 | | Grip Type | Not Obtainable | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | 2B | | Included Components | Eraser | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Diameter | 0.5 Centimeters | | Item Dimensions | 8.13 x 1.63 x 1.63 inches | | Line Size | 0.5mm | | Manufacturer | Blackwing | | Material | Incense-cedar | | Material Type | Incense-cedar | | Model Name | Blackwing Pearl - White | | Model Number | 105331 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Calligraphy, Drawing, Note Taking, Painting, Sketching, Writing | | Style | 2B | | Subject Character | Blackwing | | Theme | Music | | UPC | 799198222959 820933110528 | | Unit Count | 12.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Graphite Pencil | | Writing Technique | pencil lead | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All Ages - **Brand:** Blackwing - **Color:** White - **Ink Color:** Black - **Writing Instrument Form:** Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Pearl Pencils - 12 Count, Incense-cedar, Premium Japanese Graphite, Pearlescent White, Balanced Lead, Great for Journaling and Writing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mNpv2fA2L.jpg) ![Pearl Pencils - 12 Count, Incense-cedar, Premium Japanese Graphite, Pearlescent White, Balanced Lead, Great for Journaling and Writing - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ql2zCBeOL.jpg) ![Pearl Pencils - 12 Count, Incense-cedar, Premium Japanese Graphite, Pearlescent White, Balanced Lead, Great for Journaling and Writing - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716wmx1zZvL.jpg) ![Pearl Pencils - 12 Count, Incense-cedar, Premium Japanese Graphite, Pearlescent White, Balanced Lead, Great for Journaling and Writing - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kaW4+dVxL.jpg) ![Pearl Pencils - 12 Count, Incense-cedar, Premium Japanese Graphite, Pearlescent White, Balanced Lead, Great for Journaling and Writing - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6134-oF2FpL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this pencil oriented to more drawing or writing?** A: The ones I had were white and were a siste softer dark lead. They dulled too fast for me to write with. I don't remember their designation, they we're given to me. Palomino Pearl is all I remember. I linked them enough to find the harder graphite ones this time. These 602 whatever's are great for writing. The grey painted ones. **Q: Is it number 2? Or more broadly, will it work on standardized tests?** A: The Blackwing 602 is a 2B lead, which is softer and darker than a #2. Would it work on a standardized test? probably. But they are not a #2 pencil so use at your own risk. For a number two you can't go wrong with a Dixon Ticonderoga. FYI when shopping a #2 lead in USA is equal to a HB lead internationally. You could call it the pencil lead metric system... **Q: What is the difference between the 602 and the standard blackwing pencils?** A: You need to read the descriptions or go to the website. I like the Pearl and the 602's but just for short writing periods. For whatever reason my hand gets tired with both the pearl and 602 after much writing. I feel like I have to press harder. Both are soft leads. I prefer the Natural which is harder than a 602 and wears down less, and is darker. I don't have to press harder to get the look I like. I have about 10 different pencils I bought off eBay to see what I liked. Each one is different but similar. I love allll their pencils, but I'm sticking with the Natural as my favorite. I hope that helps. All are super smooth, flowing... **Q: Is this "the reincarnation" of the eberhard faber blackwing 602 as in the same, just different appearance or name? or is it better or worse?** A: The Palomino Blackwing 602 can be considered a revival of the EF BW 602. The product is now produced with California incense-cedar and smooth Japanese graphite. "better or worse" is a subjective question as the original pencil went through several iterations over the years it was in production. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***M on April 8, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***S on December 16, 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***H on April 16, 2026* ## Frequently Bought Together - Blackwing Pearl Pencils - 12 Count, Incense-cedar, Premium Japanese Graphite, Pearlescent White, Balanced Lead, Great for Journaling and Writing - Blackwing One-Step Long Point Sharpener, German Steel Blade, Machined Aluminum, Compact Design, Black - Blackwing Two-Step Long Point Pencil Sharpener, White Color, German Steel Blades, Pack of 1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/3942076-pearl-pencils-12-count-incense-cedar-premium-japanese-graphite-pearlescent](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/3942076-pearl-pencils-12-count-incense-cedar-premium-japanese-graphite-pearlescent) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
