●TOOLS WITH HERITAGE – First created in the 1930’s, the Blackwing 602 pencil built a cult following that included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwing pencils to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. Discontinued in the 1990’s, we revived the Blackwing brand in 2010 for a new generation of writers, musicians, and others seeking a more natural existence.
●PROTECT YOUR PENCIL – The Blackwing Point Guard is a pencil cover designed to ensure your Blackwing pencil gets to wherever you’re going in one piece. This pencil guard has a semi-hexagonal shape that fits snugly over your Blackwing pencil point. With these pencil toppers, you won’t have to re-sharpen dull pencil tips every time they’re transported.
●LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINUM – Blackwing’s pencil caps are crafted out of lightweight, machined aluminum. That makes these pencil covers strong enough to protect the tips of your pencils, without adding too much weight to your bag, pocket, or pencil roll. These durable aluminum pencil toppers are perfect for artists who want to spend less time sharpening dull pencils.
●AVAILABLE IN THREE COLORS – The Blackwing Point Guard is available in a variety of colors. Choose from matte black, bright gold, bright silver, or a set of all three colors. Each of these classic finishes features a Blackwing “B” logo etched on the end of the pencil tip cover.
●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.

THE BLACKWING 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.
