"Here I’d like to add a technical note as there have been several comments on blogs referring to the Palomino Blackwing’s eraser as a vinyl eraser. This is not the case and is an inaccurate assumption on the part of those individuals. While vinyl based materials did become more prevalent for art and pencil top eraser use as a replacement for traditional natural rubber based composites, vinyl erasers are actually currently in declining use by the industry."

Reviving the Blackwing: Eraser Performance and Design
I could listen to the president of California Cedar pencil company talk about pencils all day.
If you’re into this sort of thing, he has been posting some awesome blog posts on features of the return of the Blackwing.
Fantastic stuff.
