Blackwing pencils were favored by award-winning creators throughout the 20th century. Despite a cult following, they fell victim to cost cutting measures in the 1990s and were discontinued. That didn't stop devotees from paying as much as $40 per pencil to seize unused stock. In 2010, we drew from nearly a century of experience in the pencil business to access the best materials in the world and bring Blackwing back for a new generation of writers, musicians, and others seeking a more natural existence.

"Work. Work. Work. Even when you don’t believe."

Meet musician, artist, and survivor Sam Baker. Baker grew up in the small prairie town of Itasca, Texas, and worked as a bank examiner and whitewater river guide.

After surviving a bombing in Peru that changed the course of his life, he turned to writing, music, and painting as part of his recovery and a way to "explain the almost unexplainable."

In our latest Maker's Series we had a conversation about daily rituals and finding meaning through music, writing, and painting.

Join Sam Baker with opener W***y Tea Taylor Oct. 30, 2026 - The Knights Ferry Community Club, Knights Ferry, CA and discover Sam Baker's full feature on our blog at the link in our bio.

Birding, or birdwatching, is observing, studying, and cataloging birds in their natural habitats. Even more than that, it’s an exercise in slowing down. Paying attention to the awe-inspiring birds around you means paying attention to the health of the planet we all share.

Every bird you spot is on its own journey, and so are you. Designed in collaboration with the National Audubon Society, this special-edition guided journal is perfect for your daily birding ritual, wherever you are on your journey.

It includes a birding observation chart, identification guide, goals/highlights sections, calendar tracker, space to log 160 bird species, and a customizable page template insert. Each Blackwing x Audubon Birding Journal also includes a special-edition Extra-firm Blackwing x Audubon Pencil in the holster.

Available now at the link in our bio. Visit National Audubon Society to learn more about their incredible work.
