A round-grain walnut case holding 24 Blackwing pencils in four core grades, six of each, plus a machined-aluminum One-Step Sharpener. The four grades span soft Matte, firm 602, balanced Pearl and extra-firm Natural, so one box covers sketching, lettering, writing and fine line work. The magnetic closure and cork lining make it a display piece as much as a working set. Against buying single dozen boxes, it is the way to get every core in one place, but you pay for the wood case and the sharpener on top of the pencils.

Blackwing pencils draw consistent praise for smooth graphite, the long point and the replaceable eraser. Owners of the walnut set like having every core on hand and the case as a desk piece. Common complaints are the soft cores dulling quickly and the premium over plain pencils.
