The iconic Blackwing 602 was the pencil of choice for writer John Steinbeck, animator Chuck Jones, and many others before it was discontinued. In 2011, Blackwing brought it back! The 602 features a firm and smooth graphite core that delivers on its promise: "Half the Pressure, Twice the Speed". A gunmetal grey finish and iconic square Blackwing ferrule with a pink eraser contribute to this pencil's striking appearance.
