THE BLACKWING STORY
Blackwing 602 pencils were first introduced in the 1930s. Their superior quality and distinct look made them the pencil of choice for Pulitzer, Grammy, and Academy award-winning creators from Chuck Jones to John Steinbeck and Stephen Sondheim throughout the 20th century. The Blackwing went from a pencil to an icon. Then suddenly in the 1990s, after corporate jostling, they completely vanished.
In 2010, we tapped into over 100 years of family-run pencil-making experience to reintroduce Blackwing pencils to a new generation of writers, artists, and makers. We scoured the planet to find the best raw materials, designers, and craftspeople to create the best possible pencil. Since its return, Blackwing has transformed from a single pencil into a movement.
We create thoughtfully designed products to spark inspiration, get back in touch with your senses, and find balance in your day-to-day. Your time is precious and we want to help you create beautiful moments that will last because we know that life is just that much sweeter when we slow down. Our mission is to empower everyone with the tools and education to express their creativity even at an early age. A portion of every Blackwing purchase goes towards funding life-changing arts and music programs in public schools.

I never thought I’d need a pencil sharpener like this, it’s pricey. Very much worth the money. If you’re an artist it is very much worth the money. You can sharpen any pencil to a nice sharp point.

I have been on a quest for a great pencil sharpener ever since my college years when I lost one I really loved (which was a LONG time ago!). I have bought little hand-held steel ones recommended by my art supply store, and I have bought the cheepos from the Dollar Store (now the $1.25 and Up Store), on the recommendation from a friend who told me they were every bit as good as my art store one. She was right, though that isn't saying much for the expensive steel one.I have tried many brands; some were better than others. My goal was to find one that yielded a long, tapered point that did not wear down too quickly and was suitable for shading tone drawings by holding the pencil at an angle. I found many of the old-fashioned schoolroom hand crank ones that mount on the wall, and the modern electric tabletop models do an excellent job, but they don't fit into my portable pencil box.This heavy-duty steel from Blackwing was far more expensive than many others I've bought, but I am very pleased with it. It is fairly compact, fits well in my hand, and the hexagonal body makes it easy to grasp and hold while sharpening the pencil. Best of all, it has a shavings reservoir that works well. I have another sharpener that makes nice points but is rather bulky. The way you open it to access the sharpening ports is precisely the way you open the shavings reservoir (just from the opposite side), and I can't tell you how many times I've ended up with a lapful of pencil shavings by opening the wrong side. The Blackwing's shavings are stored in the body of the sharpener with a top that screws on securely, there is no chance of accidentally opening it, and it will store a good quantity of shavings before you need to empty it. When you do, that lid's rough, serrated texture makes it easy to unscrew.If I could part with the cool and elegant slider box it came in, the Blackwing would be more portable and fit in my pencil case, but I'm storing it in the box for now. The only thing that would make this sharpener better is if it also came with two ports to sharpen thicker pencils as well as standard-sized ones. They make one like that, but I like the profile of this one better.

This particular Blackwing one-step sharpener is dull and/or defective.As far as pencil sharpening, I look for a solid, unbroken shaving (in addition to a sharpened pencil point). This one is extremely choppy (resulting in minced bits of shavings). The blade is extraordinarily dull and blunt...like butter knife blunt.The sharpening pencil process takes WAY more than the estimated sharpening turns of 5 to 15 rotations (per Blackwing), as in 85+ to 100+ rotations (?!) This is the case with new unsharpened Blackwing pencils and previously sharpened (but needed a sharper point) pencils.Additionally, the sharpener has to be opened, and the internal sharpener blade must be blown out (compressed air duster spray) at least every 10 - 15 turns to dislodge the excess wood and graphite bits that accumulate and stick to the blade.So, what's up with this sharpener?I can't tell if it is previously owned and returned merchandise (although it wasn't identified as "open-box" or returned on the Blackwing Amazon store listing), defective, or what. The one thing Amazon has going for it is super-fast shipping and easy returns, so it isn't like I can't initiate a return; drop it at the local UPS store and obtain a refund. But the fact that the return process is simple isn't the point. ✎﹏﹏﹏﹏I've used 99¢ pencil sharpeners that created a better point than this Blackwing sharpener.I reached out to Blackwing support regarding the total failure of their one-step (aka 100 rotations sharpener), and they offered to replace the malfunctioning unit, but the problem isn't just its inability to sharpen (defective blade). The mandatory and constant blowout of the internal blade area (every few turns) to release the wood and graphite obstruction is too much work. I'm going with the Raymay Fujii KUM Masterpiece Pencil Sharpener.The Blackwing one-step is cool looking. Love the weight and heft of the pressed aluminum exterior and matte black powder-coated surface. But it doesn't work.

This is hands down the best pencil sharpener I’ve ever owned, those were words I never thought I would ever say, but it actually makes a difference. I can never go back, this thing ruined me.

This thing is a beast. It doesn’t hold a lot of shavings but I don’t think that’s the intention here. The unit will reshape your BlackWing Pencils to a perfect point in a jiffy great for an artist looking to fine tune the tip of your pencils for shading or sketching. It’s a tool that is underestimated both in size and weight. When I draw on the go I usually leave my pencil in the sharpeners so as to protect the points from snapping. So this can double both as a sharpener and a tip safe or dock for your favorite pencil. The unit is finished in a nice black color and shaped like a pencil. A sure conversation starter.

I was skeptical to pay $21 for a pencil sharpener but this was worth it! Extremely sharp and works great! My pencilled have never been so sharp! Worked great on my colored pencils too! Highly recommend if you are in the market for a sharpener- this thing is built to last too!

Compré este sacapuntas para comprobar si era verdad que iba tan extraordinario como comentaban o por el contrario partía las puntas de los lápices. En primer lugar,comentar que de inicio el lápiz no cabe por el diámetro del sacapuntas, tienes que haberle sacado punta antes con otro sacapuntas distinto. En segundo lugar,una vez echo esto , sin problemad. Las puntas son excelentes y por ahora no me ha roto ninguna punta del lápiz.

Este sacapuntas de blackwing es de excelente calidad. Deja una punta alargada y con una curvatura que le da buena resistencia a la punta. Presumo que la cuchilla es fabricada por KUM, lo que implica una gran calidad y duración del filo.
