Agreed - those Blackwing erasers aren’t worth the price for serious art, but they’re part of the “premium”-ness of the pencils themselves.

$15 for ten tiny Blackwing eraser refills

$6 for 4 large Staedtler plastic erasers

I bet I could cut some Staedtler erasers down to fit the Blackwing...

Lightbulb moment! I think I’ll do the same.

Thanks for the inspiration! This idea is so practical and the best thing is that the Blackwing pencils have that detachable metal clip that holds the eraser in place.

The Staedtler erasers are almost the perfect size to simply slice off a bit and stick it in the pencil.
