REVIEW VIDEOS

This item includes the Blackwing Long Point Sharpener designed to shave your pencils to the ideal point. This is a 2-Stage pencil Sharpener. The openings are marked 1 and 2. Start with the opening marked "1" to get a dull tip on the pencil, then refine to the ideal long point with the opening marked "2".

Introduced in the 1930's, the Blackwing quickly became the favorite of novelist John Steinbeck, animator Chuck Jones, and composers Stephen Sondheim and Quincey Jones. Discounted in the 1990's Blackwing pencils were reintroduced in 2010 by American company California Cedar's Palamino pencil division. Made to Palamino's specs by Japan's finest art pencil manufacturer, and using strong and straight Incense Cedar logs harvested in the US, assembly is completed by Palamino. The graphite is Japanese, with a blend of clay, for a smooth, sensuous feel. Each Palamino has a unique metal ferrule that holds a long wide eraser and clip - when the eraser wears down, simply remove the clip, pull eraser out a little, and reinstall. Replacement erasers are available, to assure that your Blackwing eraser lasts as long as its pencil! Musicians and artists will prefer the Blackwing for a soft, smooth performance. Writers and everyday users will prefer the Blackwing 602, for a firmer line.

Blackwing sharpener

Fancy sharpener and worked well until the lid broke off in less than 2 weeks. For the price, I would expect the quality to be better.

Excellent product, use gently at step two!

I have had this around a few weeks, so this review does not comment on durability. That being said, so far it's a great two-step sharpener that gives extremely precise points on any pencil, Palomino Blackwing or not. I used it on my Blackwings, Staedler Norica HB 2 and an old integra and it made points as sharp as ever on them all! One piece of advice: if you are are used to one-step sharpeners like I am, and tend to shove pencils in and turn as fast as humanly possible, you may break the tip of your graphite off in step two, so be gentle with it and you will be rewarded with some of the sharpest pencils you could ever need!
