"The Blackwing pencil was introduced in the 1930′s by Eberhard Faber and was the pencil of choice for Oscar, Grammy, and Pulitzer Prize winners throughout the 20th century. After it was discontinued in the 1990′s, fans began paying as much as $40 per pencil to seize unused stock. In 2010, Palomino, whose industry roots were planted over a century ago, revived the Blackwing to much critical acclaim." - CAJ was here

I'm trying to decide if I use pencils enough to justify getting a $22 box of 12 from Amazon or not. Soooo tempting. - CAJ was here

Nope. You should get a box for me! :P - Sir Shuping is just sir

Alas, no purchase yet. I am trying out some new general use pens, though. http://www.amazon.com/gp... - CAJ was here
