The Blackwing is a really interesting pencil.
There’s a good reason why at the time of writing this Yoseka have sold out of nearly every Blackwing item they’ve got listed on their site.
Best sharpened with a dedicated long point pencil sharpener or a craft knife. It retains a sharp point longer than pencils of similar hardness ratings but I had to look at elsewhere to find a “HB to equivalent Blackwing” rating scale.
Also, in a weirdly Proustian way I found the smell whilst sharpening bringing back memories of school days.
See what the hype is. It’s definitely at least as good as my Tombow mono 100s.
