VOLUME 17

The Gardening Pencil

Blackwing 17 examines the mindful practice of gardening.


Gardens have long been a place for meditative contemplation. They provide us with an escape from a world that constantly demands our attention.

Gardening has been proven to uplift spirits and lower stress and anxiety. It provides us with an opportunity for new growth, a meaningful routine, and a template for nurturing other aspects of our lives. Just as there are 17 essential nutrients for healthy plant growth, there are many essential “nutrients” for a fulfilling life. Keeping a garden allows us to tend to ourselves with love, happiness and purpose.

Blackwing 17 examines the mindful practice of gardening. Each pencil features an earth-toned color palette: olive green finish, dark brown ferrule and imprint, and burgundy eraser. Each pencil also sports our balanced graphite and a 10cm ruler stamped into its barrel you can use to chart the growth of seedlings in your plant log.

VOLUME 192

The Lennon and McCartney Pencils.

Blackwing 192 is a tribute to Lennon and McCartney and the estimated 192 songs they wrote together.


John Lennon and Paul McCartney combined to write some of the most enduing lyrics of all time. Their songs are ubiquitous, appealing to young and old, from generation to generation. Together, they have influenced the craft of songwriting in immeasurable ways.

As songwriters, Lennon and McCartney complimented each other expertly. Paul’s lyrics often evoked brightness and joy. while John’s supplied a more melancholy spirit. The result is a catalog of authentic songs that touch on a wide spectrum of the human experience.

Blackwing 192 is a tribute to Lennon and McCartney and the estimated 192 songs they wrote together. The color prism design depicts the convergence of two powerful creative forces. A different Lennon-McCartney lyric is foil stamped on each pencil, for a total of twelve different lyrics in the set.

VOLUME 7

The Animation Pencils.

The Blackwing 7 celebrates the animation and the incredible stories it lets us tell.


The Golden Ratio is a mathematical ratio, often found in nature, art and design. It gives the world around us composition and symmetry that, for reasons we don’t fully understand, we find beautiful. It appears in the spiral of a seashell, the uncurling of a fern, and many other natural structures. When applied to the arts, it becomes a tool for creating balanced, organic works.

The Golden Ratio can be heard in the arrangements of Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach. It can be felt in the syllabic patterns of Sanskrit poetry. It can be seen in the works of artists and architects from Salvador Dali to Frank Lloyd Wright. It can even be applied in your day-to-day life by framing a portrait using photography’s “Rule of Thirds.”

The Blackwing 55 celebrates the Golden Ratio. It’s a reminder to slow down and savor the beauty around us. We designed this pencil using the Fibonacci sequence, a series of numbers that approximate the Golden Ratio. The width of each color block is the sum of the widths of the previous two color blocks (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, & 55mm). A simple formula with a magnificent result.

The Blackwing Difference

Inside our Blackwing Imprinting process


We’re all about the process. We believe that being mindful in every step of the manufacturing process and using the highest-quality materials makes a difference. Take a closer look at how we put the stamp on our iconic Blackwing products.


How Most Pencils Are Printed


Most pencils available on the market, like the common yellow #2 pencil, are made from budget woods like basswood, white fir, or poplar. These wood types are more difficult to machine and are prone to imperfections, which leads to an uneven finish.



Purchase the Blackwing Høvel


Method 1: Hold the Høvel in your hand and shave away from yourself
