Blackwing Point Guard

For people who actually use their Blackwing on the go. The Point Guard is a machined aluminum cap that fits over the pencil tip, letting the point "float" inside without touching the walls so it survives the bag, the pocket, and the unexpected drop. Lightweight and minimal, it's the kind of practical accessory that pays for itself the first time it saves a fresh point from a backpack bottom. Available in matte black, matte white, bright gold, bright silver, or a mixed set of three. Pencil not included. Materials: Machined aluminum Made by: Blackwing Specifications: Fits all Blackwing pencils; floating tip protection; available in Matte Black, Matte White, Bright Gold, Bright Silver, or Mixed Set of 3; pencil not included Further Reading: Blackwing's roots go back to the 1930s, when the original 602 pencil became the trusted tool of John Steinbeck, Chuck Jones, and countless other legendary creators before being discontinued in 1998. In 2011, the brand was revived using premium Incense-cedar and Japanese graphite, honoring the original's legacy while building something new for writers, artists, and makers who believe the right pencil matters.
