Pros & Cons
Pros
They are pricey, but sure are worth it. The price is debatable however.
Blackwing's are easy to hold, like most pencils. Slightly larger than an average pencil, and sturdy. They are the only pencil she has not ripped to shreds with a pencil sharpener.
These are great pencils, very smooth and the graphite looks so nice on the paper. These pencils sharpen smoothly and the lead doesn’t seem as brittle as most pencils. New mechanical pencils available in triangular shape with strong dense lead.
Gold and black trimmed pencil acts like a lightning rod, a tether to your brain’s most powerful creative space. I have a professional job that requires i keep copious notes while also sharing my screen and presenting to folks. Allows me to concentrate... Read More
The blackwing pencil sharpener is indispensable. As for best pencil, nothing beats the derwent graphic for drawing imho.
Cons
It is no smoother than a prismacolor ebony. Centrality of the graphite is no better than much cheaper pencils. It is not as dark as the ebony, and it costs more than 3 times as much.
Highlights
Quality

The pencil moves before your thoughts appear inside of your own brain as the graphite burns up the page like an icy meteorite
Price
They seem a little pricey but this is also my first time
A bit pricey but worth it i give them out as small gifts to my music students they feel very special to have such a upgrade
I bought these expecting them to be a pricey disappointment
They are pricey but sure are worth it
Shipping
The product shipped faster than the expected date and were packaged well
This vendor got them to me on time and in perfect condition
Packaging/appearance
It was easy to contact them bc the phone number was inside the package
Competitiveness
A notch above the black warrior and even slightly better than the mitsubishi hb though it should be at double the price
I probably wont buy them in bulk like this way to much youre better off getting mitshibishi uni
Later when i could no longer get ibm pencils even though art supplies became more available there was still no pencil i liked as well
Moved on to the mitsubishi 9850 which held its point better than the others but didnt give me a darker mark

If you happen to have a nice art store that carries these its better buying of each and then it makes more sence

These are highly pigmented pencils so if you are planning to erase unwanted lines go easy or you will have a ghost line remaining
