Lab 11.28.25 is the thirteenth in the Labs series.  In this Lab they finally made the first all-black Blackwing pencil. Black-stained Genuine Incense-cedar wood, matte black lacquer, black imprint, black ferrule, black clip, black eraser, and our balanced graphite.

Nov. 2025: The 43rd release in the Blackwing Volumes series, the Blackwing 21 is  a tribute to the craft of woodworking.  Each pencil is made with special finger jointed slats created by combining two short slats together.  It also features our first-ever square barrel with an extra wide face so you can see the finger joints on each pencil.  Contains firm graphite.

All I know is this custom came with a notebook.

First orange custom I’ve seen coming out of Blackwing.  I enjoy these colored customs a great deal more then the old black and whites with the standard font!
