It definitely is a nice combination. <br /><br />I ordered two dozen today along with a set of pink erasers -- will be ordering more soon. Half of the 602's will have the pink eraser while the other half will keep the black. Why not??<br /><br />Can't wait to get them. The Palomino Blackwing is actually my favorite pencil, but since I mostly write I think the Palomino 602 will take that place while the other will be a close second. <br /><br />Keep up the good work, and thanks for bringing back and improving on the Blackwing.JCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15148858.post-39951767845909899602011-06-01T18:13:00.653-07:002011-06-01T18:13:00.653-07:00I know I know!

(I still have several hoarded boxes of original Blackwing 602's , sparingly used for special projects). I bought a few boxes of the new Palomino Blackwings and I like them ok, but to me the "mystique" of the Blackwing is that it has that Blackwing look. I am much more likely to buy more boxes of the new Blackwing on a regular basis (I'll start with half-a-dozen boxes) now that they have the traditional "Half-the-Pressure-Twice-the-Speed" slogan restored along with the designation "602" and the dark grey paint . It's all part of "the look" . <br /><br />And to show that I'm not a total purist I don't mind the new black erasers or the white erasers. (the erasers were always the worst part of the original Blackwing anyway , darn things were almost useless for drawing work. I use a soft grey kneaded eraser for most things) . I think the little design touch of the distinctive black eraser or white eraser (you should offer both options) sets this apart as a NEW product , but still retaining a stronger identification with the old product now that the distinctive dark grey paint and the slogan and the "602" are restored . Thank you. I'll buy as soon as they are available.David Netheryhttp://hand-drawn-animation.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15148858.post-83076677883544316022011-05-17T01:39:20.702-07:002011-05-17T01:39:20.702-07:00Extended life sounds great, the only reason why I ...Extended life sounds great, the only reason why I don't use the Palomino BW (lying above the F keys on my keyboard) more often is because it doesn't keep the point very long.Matthiashttp://bleistift.memm.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15148858.post-14060692655789220202011-05-13T15:33:12.580-07:002011-05-13T15:33:12.580-07:00Wonderful news!
