The Blackwing Point Guard is designed to ensure your Blackwing pencil gets wherever you’re going in one piece. Crafted out of lightweight, machined aluminum, the Point Guard goes over the point of your Blackwing pencil, keeping it safe in your bag, pocket, or pencil roll. The Point Guard is designed to fit snugly on the end of your Blackwing as soon as it reaches the unsharpened portion of the pencil. This means you only need to push the cap about 1/4 inch up the barrel of the pencil before it’s secure.
