Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer and Academy Award winners have created with the Blackwing 602 pencil. Disney animator Shamus Culhane asked to be buried with his Blackwing 602. 

First introduced in the 1930's by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company, by the mid 1990's the production was discontinued and prices of the pencils skyrocketed to $40 per pencil.  

Their reintroduction in 2010 saw the range being produced with genuine incense-cedar wood and premium Japanese graphite.
