The Blackwing Pearl just looks gorgeous. White shimmering varnish and a white eraser paired with golden stamping and a golden ferrule. Encased in californian cedar wood is a soft core labeled as “balanced”. As for Blackwings the grading scale is rather vague, so I’d classify this just a touch softer than a 3B. While still a viable choice for writing, its more oriented toward the artsy side of pencils. You’ll get a super rich stroke and you can definitely use it for writing, but keep in mind that you’ll sacrifice point retention and get a bit more smearing than with a 602.
