Blackwing Volume 651 Set of 12 Pencils Limited Edition

In a note to his students, Bruce Lee wrote “the art of Jeet Kune Do is simply to simplify.” He believed in honesty in all actions and championed a freedom of expression that had never been seen in the world of martial arts. Jeet Kune Do was designed for combat, but its tenets can be applied to the challenges of everyday life; “using no way as way; having no limitation as limitation.”

Blackwing Volume 651 is a tribute to the legendary Bruce Lee. Both simple and direct, each pencil features a black and yellow striped design that takes its cues from the philosophies of Jeet Kune Do.

The number 651 is derived from 651 S. Weller Street in Seattle, where Bruce Lee opened his first formal school.

Its "Extra-Firm" formulation graphite works well for writing notes, including those to your future self, whenever inspiration strikes.
