What does balanced graphite mean?

Balanced graphite sits in the middle of the hardness scale, offering a compromise between the crisp lines of harder leads and the dark, smudgy quality of softer ones. It works well for both writing and sketching without requiring different pencils for different tasks.

Is the artwork printed or painted on the pencils?

The Orange Cassidy designs are printed onto the barrel of each pencil. The ink is durable enough for regular handling, though it will wear at the grip area with extended use, as with any printed pencil.

Can I buy individual pencils or only the full set?

This collaboration comes as a set of twelve pencils in the collectible box. Individual pencils are not sold separately by the brand.

Does the denim eraser work differently than a pink one?

Denim erasers are slightly firmer than standard pink rubber and tend to produce less residue when erasing graphite. They work well on both writing and drawing, though any eraser will eventually wear down with use.

Will these pencils be restocked once they sell out?

This is a limited edition collaboration tied to a specific production run. Once the available stock is gone, Blackwing typically does not restock special edition releases, though they may introduce entirely new collaborations in the future.

Blackwing x AEW Orange Cassidy Pencils – Set of 12

Most novelty pencils are cheaply made promotional items you'd never actually sharpen. These use the same balanced graphite Blackwing puts in its core lineup—a formula that stays sharp longer than drugstore pencils and lays down a line dark enough to scan or photocopy clearly. The collaboration brings legitimacy to both sides: Orange Cassidy's drawings get printed on a tool people will genuinely want to use, and Blackwing gets a design that stands out in a lineup that can sometimes feel too refined. If you've been curious about Blackwing but found the usual black-and-gold aesthetic a little too serious, this is the same performance in packaging that doesn't take itself quite so seriously.

Good gift when

The details

This limited collaboration brings together Blackwing's balanced graphite formula and Orange Cassidy's artwork in a set that works as well for sketching as it does for everyday writing. Each of the twelve pencils carries illustrations created by the All Elite Wrestling performer himself, printed along the barrel in a design that nods to his "Freshly Squeezed" persona.

The balanced graphite core sits in the middle of Blackwing's hardness range, offering enough tooth for controlled shading while staying smooth enough for extended writing sessions. You get a consistent line that doesn't require constant sharpening, whether you're filling a notebook or roughing out ideas on scrap paper.

Each pencil is finished with a black ferrule and denim eraser, a departure from the pink rubber found on standard office pencils. The blue eraser lifts graphite cleanly without tearing through most drawing papers, though it works just as well on lined notebook stock.

The box itself becomes part of the package—sturdy enough to store the pencils between uses and printed with the same artwork that wraps each individual pencil. Because this is a special edition tied to a specific collaboration, availability won't last once the production run sells through.
