Blackwing Pencils & Sharpener

These pencils are great quality and feel good in your hand. The eraser extends up for longer life. The starter pack is a great way to figure out what firmness you are most comfortable with which seemed excessive at first but once you try them all there will be a clear winner.

imo they look very professional for those that prefer pencils over pens.

Their sharpener is also worth it. I held out originally thinking it wasn’t necessary but decided to go for it after my cheap one was destroying the tip more than sharpening. It’s a smooth, fast sharpener that requires minimal effort.
