Blackwing pencil 602 set 12 pieces

The SPECIAL is made by Kaweco in an octagonal aluminum profile. This is sleekly in ones hand and combines technique with classic design. For the Kaweco pencil there are many matching leads here in our shop. Today's SPECIAL is a further development of the office pencils from the 30's. The most important characteristics are a simple and artless octagonal design with a handy push button. Long and thin, made of ebonite and later turned of celluloid, the SPECIAL series established as a long-lasting working tool at a reasonable price. Soon the product series expanded through fountain pens cause of the big success. Today we purposely use the modern aluminium and robust, reliable mechanisms which have been sold already a million times.

The Kaweco SPECIAL pencil with the 0.7 mm mechanism in the raw brass version presents itself convincingly. Under the highly polished surface, the pencil's symphatic character hides in the form of a developing patina. The metal oxidizes after some time and turns blackish. This makes every SPECIAL a special, personal working tool. The mechanisms are extremely reliable and the 0.7 mm leads are perfect for drawing thin lines without breaking the lead with a slightly higher pressure. The brass of the SPECIAL is a metal, called the Eco Brass. This type of brass can be produced in an environmentally friendly manner without any lead. Kaweco produced e.g. the Kaweco LILIPUT cap ballpen brass for a time exclusively for Greenpeace. Because of this production the SPECIAL is a very sustainable writing and drawing device. Visually, the pencil is beautiful. The characteristic octagonal shape of Kaweco in combination with the gold-color brass is an eyecatcher. The silver-colored tip of the mechanism, the engraving and the silver logo on the push button complement the timeless design. For this Kaweco SPECIAL we recommend Kaweco pencil leads with a diameter of 0.7 mm. Since 1930, the SPECIAL series has been available in this design. The typical features of the Kaweco SPECIAL pencils were from the beginning a simple, octagonal shape and a push button with grooves to improve the handle. Initially, the Kaweco SPECIAL pencils were made of hard rubber and later made of celluloid. Today, there is an aluminum SPECIAL series and this, SPECIAL brass. The surface-changing brass is used as a design element and reliable, long-term tested mechanisms are installed. Available are 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 0.9mm and 2.0mm push pencils. Perfect for all types of drawings. No matter if technical drawing, creative sketching or simply writing, the Kaweco SPECIAL brass pencil can convince us.  In the series there is also a ballpoint pen and a fountain pen with a big variety of nibs to choose. Each writing instrument of the Kaweco brass SPECIAL series will develop a patina as the metal oxidizes. It is wanted that the surface changes and thus no defect.

Ideal for musicians, woodworkers and anyone who prefer a soft, dark line, the Palomino Blackwing is the softest of the three core Blackwing models. Blackwing pencils feature a timeless matte black finish, iconic square Blackwing ferrule and black eraser. Blackwing pencils come in packs of 12. The label print and the color of the eraser have been changed by the manufacturer and currently do not match the product image. Palomino Blackwing pencils were originally introduced by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company in the 1930s. Their cult following included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. Despite this following, they fell victim to cost cutting measures in the 1990s and were discontinued. But, that didn’t stop devotees from paying as much as $40 per pencil to seize unused stock.
