Volume 343 Pencil Set
Description
Tune into an iconic memory of broadcast television in the form of Blackwing's new Volume 343 Pencil Set.
Featuring a design inspired by the colour bars that we most often saw when a TV station was off the air, this familiar vision of a pre-streaming era isn't just a nostalgic delight – it's a reflection on the changing technologies that shape our lives, and the cultural impact that the medium had when we all gathered around the TV en masse to see major events and unforgettable stories.
In addition to the test-pattern design on the body, the Volume 343 Pencil Set features a "TV snow" silver foil and matching ferrule that you'll struggle to explain to anyone under 25, and an Extra Firm graphite perfect for sketching or writing in your journal while watching cartoons on a Saturday morning.
Specifications
Set of 12 pencils
Extra Firm graphite core
20.5cm long; 0.75cm barrel diameter (per pencil)
Suits sketching and note-taking
Features metallic ferrule and black replaceable eraser
Made using incense-cedar barrel and graphite formulation lead.
Made in the USA

With roots stretching back to the 1930s, the Blackwing 602 was the go-to pencil of artists, writers and designers for more than 60 years. After Blackwing loyalists had scoured the earth to find the last of their favourite pencils, Blackwing reintroduced the 602 in 2010, bringing the legend back to life for a whole new generation.
