The Blackwing 343 is a nostalgic tribute to the golden era of broadcast television—when entire households tuned in and shared moments together. Each pencil features a striking colour bar finish inspired by the classic NTSC test pattern, paired with Blackwing’s extra-firm graphite for precise, consistent writing. It is a nod to the 343 scan lines of early CRT televisions, stamped in a “TV snow” silver holographic foil that adds a subtle retro touch. It’s a thoughtful design that celebrates not just television, but the shared cultural moments it created across living rooms everywhere. Whether you’re writing, sketching, or collecting, this pencil brings a little piece of that timeless connection to your desk.
