It is not likely that any brand could make the exact pencil again. I own an original 602, as well as the Palomino versions of the 602 and "Blackwing" (the darkest one), and I can tell you that they are very close to the E.F. 602. The main reasons they are better are simply availability and cost. The Palomino Blackwing pencils are some of the most well-made pencils you can find. The price is high, yes. Saying that they are hipster collectibles, though, is an opinion, and not necessarily justifiable. If the new Blackwings were fancy garbage, I could understand. In all honesty, though, they are great, especially when they are used without comparison to the original (although it makes sense to do so, since thy are why the new Blackwings exist).
Awesome Story Guys. Keep up the great work. Nick.
Blackwings are pencil awesomeness. 👍😎
That’s profound 🙏🏻 beautiful singing
I love my Blackwing pencils, but this video is some next level hipster shit.
i just order blackwing matte and pearl waiting anxiously
Great pencil. Terrible coffee. 😉
I love the pencils, but the barrel sharpener is crap. Do folks have a manual sharpener they like?
I LOVE Blackwing pencils, but I hate the hipster vibe this video tries to give them.
Plz make a clip to slide on the pencil. Then send me one. Lol
While Palomino does not make a clip, it is possible to buy pencil clips on sites like CW Pencil Enterprise.
They are not the same pencils as the old Blackwings. The new ones are hipster collectibles and very cliche.
