Blackwing Volume 343 Graphite Pencil

Blackwing 343 Pencil pays tribute to the golden age of broadcast television, inspired by the shared cultural moments that brought millions of people together. Featuring a striking colour bar design based on the classic NTSC test pattern, the Blackwing 343 Pencil blends storytelling, nostalgia and premium performance into one collectible writing tool.

Crafted with Blackwing's signature quality, the Blackwing 343 Graphite Pencil is fitted with an extra firm graphite core, making it ideal for precise writing, detailed sketching and technical work where sharp lines and control are essential. The firm graphite formulation offers long lasting performance with less frequent sharpening, making it a reliable choice for artists, designers and everyday writers.

The model number 343 references the 343 scanlines found on early CRT televisions, while the silver holographic foil imprint mimics the static "TV snow" seen on old screens. Combining thoughtful design with practical performance, the Blackwing 343 Pencil is both a functional creative tool and a meaningful collector's piece.

Perfect for drawing, note taking, drafting and design work, it pairs well with sketchbooks, journals, sharpeners and erasers for a complete creative setup.
