SOFT

The Blackwing Matte is ideal for illustrators, for drawing, and for music notation, providing a soft dark line. Ideal for sketching or shading. 

This model makes the most of the extra-firm core to give a line softer and darker than most pencils, but still strong and long-lasting. The darkest and smoothest core. The result dynamically reflects the pressure applied. 

Beautiful Californian incense-cedar meets smooth Japanese graphite  – the beauty of the FSC-certified cedarwood may be hidden under its protective black lacquer, but you can still appreciate it in the smell of the cedar.

This is one of the few wooden pencils that have a replaceable eraser. The chunky rectangular eraser can also be extended as it wears down.
