- Does Blackwing run sales?
- Rarely. Blackwing pencils are sold at list price at most retailers, and discounts usually show up as multi-pack bundles or seasonal limited editions rather than markdowns on the core pencils.
- Where is Blackwing cheapest?
- Per-pencil price drops as set size grows, so the 12-pack of Pearls usually costs less per pencil than the 4-pencil Audition Pack. Compare the per-pencil figure across stores rather than the box price.
- What is the difference between Blackwing, 602 and Pearl?
- The original has the softest, darkest graphite. The 602 is firmer and holds a point longer, the choice for people who write a lot. The Pearl sits between them with a balanced, slightly waxy feel.
- Are Blackwing pencils worth the price?
- They cost several times a standard pencil. The case is the graphite and the replaceable eraser; if you sharpen often or press hard, a cheaper pencil does the same job.
- What is the return policy?
- Returns depend on the store you buy from, not on Blackwing. Check the retailer's policy before ordering, since opened pencil sets are often excluded.
