Bold without being brash, the Blackwing Matte Red introduces a striking new colourway to the softest graphite in the Blackwing family. Its matte red finish pairs beautifully with a copper imprint, copper ferrule, and a light grey eraser—details that lend it a certain quiet confidence. The “SOFT” graphite indicator lets you know exactly what you’re working with: rich, dark lines ideal for musicians marking scores, woodworkers sketching joinery, or creatives who simply enjoy a pencil that glides rather than scratches. Crafted from high-quality incense cedar and presented in a gift box that doubles as a pencil cup, this set of 12 keeps your tools close and your desk pleasantly uncluttered.

What Makes It Work So Well

• Soft, Expressive Graphite: The Blackwing Matte’s softest core always delivers smooth, dark strokes—never faint, never fragile.

• Striking Design Details: Matte red finish, copper ferrule, and a light grey eraser give you a pencil that stands out without ever shouting about it.

• Ready-to-Use Packaging: The 12-pack gift box doubles as a pencil cup, ensuring you never search for a tidy way to store your set.
