Despite his image as an international movie star and acclaimed martial artist, Bruce Lee was a philosopher at his core. His pocketbooks contained everything from dance routines, to uplifting self-affirmations and deep life-shaping wisdoms. While his oeuvre is filled with classic films, his crowning achievement may have been his art known as Jeet Kune Do.
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.”
The Blackwing 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. The extra-firm graphite is ideal for writing notes, including those to your future self, whenever inspiration strikes.

As you likely already know... Our physical store in Biltmore Village was completely destroyed in the Flood Disaster.
We are working to recreate our brick and mortar store. Until then we are building up this online store, where you'll find a "Current Offerings" shopping page (to the right) OR scroll down on our HOME PAGE where you'll find more specific shopping links being added daily. If you don't see what you're looking for, just let us know and we'll arrange getting it to you, since it's likely that we have it but it's simply not up on our site yet. Please keep checking back and you will find something new each time you do! We should have our site expanded to a completion very soon.
We have, also, set up a Go Fund Me site for donations here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/join-us-in-restoring-a-beloved-local-haven
