Blackwing 602 Reviews
Just over a week has passed since the official launch of the Palomino Blackwing 602, and it’s been a whirlwind here at the Pencils.com headquarters in Stockton, CA. The response has been better than we ever could have dreamed. We set a 24 hour sales record the day the 602 was launched (and we did it by 9:00 AM)! Before the day was done, we doubled our previous record set when the Palomino Blackwing launched on October 1, 2010.
While we’re happy that so many people are buying this new pencil, we’re even more excited the initial reviews have been so positive. For those of you still not sure about whether or not the Blackwing 602 is right for you, here a few comments that have appeared on various social media channels in the past week:

“Having used pencils from around the world for many years, I can say that the new Palomino Blackwing 602 is one of the finest pencils for writers available today, and certainly the most unique in appearance. This is a great pencil. Cal Cedar did a wonderful job.”

“Great mail today: a shipment of Palomino Blackwings from Pencils.com Everything I’d hoped for.”

“After a side by side comparison with one of my original Eberhard Faber Blackwing 602s, it is my extreme pleasure to report that this new version carries on the look, feel, and spirit of the original line of 602s! In fact, the new 602’s line is a little firmer, yet both darker and smoother than that of the original 602.”

“The best news for animators all year!”

“In San Francisco, Boston, and New York you can walk in to any cafe and find someone drawing with Blackwings. They deserve the popularity.”

“The photos don’t do the new PB602 justice. Beautiful finish. The black eraser looks MUCH better in person. The new Blackwing 602 definitely holds its point longer; still very dark and smooth. A fantastic pencil.“
