Description

You must be of a certain age to remember the TV test pattern. A celebration of a shared cultural moment, the Blackwing 343 honors the golden age of broadcast television—when stories flickered into homes across the country and brought audiences together in real time. Each pencil features a striking color bar design inspired by the classic NTSC test pattern, paired with a “TV snow” silver holographic imprint of the model number 343—a nod to the scanlines of early CRT screens. It’s a subtle tribute to the technology that once connected millions through a single signal. Crafted with Blackwing’s signature attention to detail, the 343 is equipped with extra-firm graphite for a smooth, controlled line—ideal for writing, sketching, and everyday use. A silver ferrule and black eraser complete its distinctive, modern-retro aesthetic. Set of 12.

Limited Edition 343!

"The Blackwing Volume 343 is another great addition to the Blackwing lineup. The design is clean and meaningful, and the pencil feels excellent in the hand during long writing or sketching sessions. The graphite is smooth, consistent, and holds a nice point, making it a pleasure to use every day. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really stand out, which is why I keep coming back to Blackwing releases. I'm very happy with this purchase and appreciate Lavenger for carrying these special editions."
