Blackwing makes pencils, notebooks and tools for creative-minded people, and others looking to unplug once in a while.

Blackwing believes in the power of arts and music, as both a creative outlet and as an educational tool. That’s why a portion of every Blackwing sale benefits music and arts education through the Blackwing Foundation.

The upgraded Blackwing Two-Step Long Point Sharpener still features our reliable two-step sharpening system: the first hole shapes the wood, and the second hole sharpens the graphite, but it now comes inside of a sleek new package. Even though this new sharpener feels much smaller in your hand, it holds the same amount of shavings as its predecessor. The lid also stays shut now when you use it.  

Every sharpener still comes with two replacement blades and an automatic brake that prevents over-sharpening.
