Blackwing Graphite Pencil Volume 140. This is the pencil you reach for when you want clarity without heaviness. The Blackwing Graphite Pencil Volume 140 offers a (close ot a hb) lighter, firmer graphite that delivers a clean, precise line, making it especially satisfying for writing, drafting, and detailed sketching where control matters.
Blackwing is known for tuning graphite to suit how people actually work, and Volume 140 sits at the brighter end of the spectrum. The lead is light and relatively firm, producing crisp marks that stay sharp and legible without smudging or dragging across the page. It solves the common problem of overly soft pencils that blur fine notes or lose their point too quickly, allowing for longer writing sessions with less interruption and less mess.
The pencil feels balanced and dependable in the hand, finished with the familiar Blackwing ferrule and replaceable eraser that users come to rely on. Volume editions like this one are made with intention, appealing to those who prefer tools that are thoughtful rather than showy. The lighter graphite encourages a slower, more deliberate pace, ideal for margins, lists, and careful thinking on paper.
This is a pencil that rewards precision and patience, and it earns its place through steady, reliable use.
Made in Japan.
