The 344 is the seventh pencil in Blackwing's limited Volumes series. It pays homage to American photographer and photo journalist Dorothea Lange. The pencil's name is a nod to Library of Congress LOT 344, which contains Lange's most iconic depression-era photo, "Migrant Mother".
For the design of the pencil, Palomino imagined what a Blackwing 602 would look like in a darkroom. The body is painted in dark brown, as the normal gray would appear under a red safelight, and for the first time on a Blackwing, the imprint and ferule appear in red. The pencil is finished with a newly designed, dust free eraser.

Palomino Original and Palomino Blackwing represent the highest quality brands available from the California Cedar Products Company, the history of which dates back to the mid-19th century. Palomino utilizes genuine California incense cedar which is sent to Japan where the pencils are produced using some of the best Japanese graphite in the industry.
After the initial success of Palomino's graded graphite pencils, Cal Cedar was able to revive the legendary Blackwing pencil. The Blackwing was originally a Eberhart-Faber pencil that had been discontinued and later obtained cult status as pencil aficionados were paying exorbitant amounts at auction for dead stock. The Blackwing had gained a reputation as the pencil of choice for Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer and Academy Award winners, and now they have become available to a whole new generation of creatives.
