NOTEBOOKS WITH HERITAGE: First created in the 1930s, Blackwing built a cult following that included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, the latter proudly using Blackwing pencils to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. Discontinued in the ‘90s, we revived the Blackwing brand in 2010 for a new generation of writers, musicians, and others. Since then, we've introduced a line of notebooks in harmony with the same quality as our Blackwing Pencils.
HOW WE GIVE BACK: A portion of the sales from all Blackwing products benefit the Blackwing Foundation, which funds and develops art and music education at the K – 12 level. Your purchase helps provide, among other things, the instruction, learning environment, and instruments children need to participate in the Little Kids’ Rock Modern Band Program.
Blackwing was first introduced by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company in the 1930s. Their cult following included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, the latter proudly using Blackwing pencils to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. Due to cost cuts, Blackwing notebooks were discontinued in the 1990s. That didn't stop devotees from paying as much as $40 per pencil for unused stock. In 2010, we drew from nearly a century of experience to access the best materials in the world to bring Blackwing back for a new generation of writers, musicians, and others seeking a more natural existence. The Slate was designed to be our everyday Blackwing pencil companion, and it still fulfills that role. A hardcover, medium-format notebook, the Slate is the most versatile notebook in our family, suited to tackle any task you can throw at it. What separates the Slate from the herd of similarly-sized notebooks are the unique features you won't find in any other journal. Each Slate notebook features a unique dual-sewn bound, canvas spine that gives it flexibility, allowing it to lie completely flat when opened. The Slate also features a built-in pencil loop that comes loaded with a Blackwing pencil, so you'll always have a pencil handy. Each notebook measures 5" x 8.25" and contains 160 pages of 100 GSM, ivory paper with ruled, blank, or dot grid lines. This notebook is ideal as a gratitude journal, prayer journal, field notebook, fitness journal, and more! The Blackwing Slate features our signature Black finish. Give a Slate journal to the men and women in your life. And don't forget to snag one for yourself!
