My husband brought me two of these pencils at the Outdoor Retailer trade show. He said, "I dont know whether these will sell in our stores, but I know you will love them." Both pencils were Blackwing 602, a beautiful slate grey pencil which at that time came with black erasers. I instantly was in love. I hear that the Pearl is Blackwings most popular pencil, but the 602 is for me. And now you can buy extra erasers in beautiful black, plus orange, yellow and white. As much fun as you can have with a pencil.
