Every day, birds move through our lives unnoticed. They live alongside us in parks, forests, waterways, and neighborhoods, hidden in the rhythm of everyday life.


Birding, or bird watching, is the observation, study, and cataloging of birds in their natural habitats. Even more than that, it’s an exercise in slowing down.

In a world constantly vying for our attention, birding asks us to simply be present. It reminds us there is beauty all around us, waiting to be discovered.

Volume 458 is Blackwing's tribute to birding. Each balanced graphite pencil features a gradient finish inspired by one of four North American birds: the Clark’s Grebe, Mallard, Green Jay, and Black Rail.

The model number 458, the estimated number of migratory bird species that regularly travel through the United States and Canada, is stamped on each pencil in black foil.

 These pencils feature our Balanced Graphite, which is great for writing down your birding observations as well as drawing the birds you see outside of your window or on your bird-watching adventures. 

This set features 4 different gradient designs with a color palette and silhouette inspired by North American birds: the Clark’s Grebe, Mallard, Green Jay, and Black Rail.
