The first in a series of limited edition "Volumes" pencils, the Blackwing 725 celebrates the 50th anniversary of the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. The number 725 marks the date, July 25th, that Bob Dylan made music history with his controversial first ever use of an electric guitar on stage. The sunburst lacquer of the pencil is inspired by the finish of this momentous instrument at the center of what Rolling Stone named one of "50 Moments that Changed Rock n' Roll."

Palomino Blackwing pencils are ideal for illustrators and writers who prefer a soft, dark line. They are crafted from sustainably harvested incense cedar, which provides superior sharpening performance. The unique rectangular black eraser can be extended as it wears down from use, and also pops out completely from the pencil body for replacement. Replacement erasers are available in a variety of colors.

Blackwing pencils differ in the softness of the graphite core, which can be felt while writing and drawing. These pencils have balanced softness, similar to the Blackwing Pearl. See all Blackwing pencils including packs and gift box sets.
