Palomino Blackwing pencil extender
Blackwing pencils are sharpened until barely anything remains – and that's exactly where the pencil extender comes in. Made from milled aluminum, this part slides into the rectangular Blackwing sleeve and gives the pencil full writing length again. The matte black surface matches all Blackwing models visually: from the Matte to the 602 to the Volume editions.
Special Features
- Milled aluminum construction: The precisely machined metal sits firmly in your hand – no bending, no wobbling when writing or drawing.
- Fixed rubber tip inside: The rubber tip sits in the open sleeve and ensures that pencil and extender remain stably connected, even under writing pressure.
- Compatible with all Blackwing models: The extender fits into the rectangular sleeve clamp of every Blackwing pencil – no exceptions, no adjustments needed.
- Matte black surface: Silky-matte finish that barely shows fingerprints and visually matches the clean design language of the Blackwing line.
- Sustainable use: Every millimeter of graphite becomes usable – the last stub can be used down to the end, rather than being discarded prematurely.
Application & Tips
- Assembly: Remove the eraser from the Blackwing sleeve, insert the wide end of the extender into the sleeve clamp, put the clamp back into the sleeve – done.
- For drawing and sketching: The full length provides sufficient room again for flat grip angles and relaxed pencil control – important for hatching and broad strokes.
- In studio daily work: If you work with multiple sharpened stubs, you can keep several extenders on hand and switch quickly without interrupting your workflow.
- Storage: The extender can be stored together with the inserted pencil normally in a pencil box or case – no special space needed.
- Assembly note: The removed eraser can be stored separately – Blackwing erasers are available for individual purchase and can be reinserted at any time.
For Blackwing Enthusiasts
The rectangular sleeve is the distinctive design feature of Blackwing pencils – and that's exactly why conventional round pencil extenders don't work here. Standard extenders work via a cylindrical opening, which doesn't accommodate the square Blackwing profile. This extender solves this through a different approach: instead of sliding over the pencil, it fits into the clamp of the sleeve and thus uses exactly the design element that other extenders exclude.
