Pencil Mister Vi

The brass pencil is mechanically perfect and of excellent workmanship, but the laser engraving of Mister Vi absolutely disappointed me, too small you do not see any detail and it looks like a dark spot.
Too bad because from the images of your site it looked excellent.
In this I was disappointed.

Hi Massimo,

Thanks for the feedback. The Mister Vi artwork was especially intricate and detailed so it doesn't engrave quite as boldly as the other designs which are purely line work.

Hopefully this doesn't spoil the actual pencil for you but please do get in touch via email if you want to talk further and exchange the design for something else.

Thanks,

Megan

Love love love my Wingback stuff!

I now own the pen, pencil and notebook cover and I've ordered the Winston wallet that should be arriving soon. I'd love it if you guys did a foldable 12" rule from stainless steel and brass (better than the ones already on the market, have a look you'll see what I mean, a brand similar but no where near as good as Wingback do one). This would allow even more Wingback stuff into my everyday life. 😊

Brass Mechanical Pencil

This is a very well designed and engineered mechanical pencil. It exudes quality in all aspects. My only minor and personal critique is that I find it a little small, both length and girth wise. That is a preference and it is possibly dependent on the size of one’s hands. It would be even better if WIngback offered a larger range, as found, for example, with Montblanc (Le Grand).

Great lead, smooth!

Great pencil lead, nice colour and buttery feeling on paper. Doesn’t smudge or blunt during writing. However Minor point, does tend to snap a fair amount.

Lead not dead!

Fallen in love with the wingback designer ✏️. Thought the HB leads would be too hard but they are as smooth as butter. Hard to find fault with this superb writing instrument armed with these polymer leads.

Fancy some lead in your pencil ?

You could do a lot worse than fill you state of the art Wingback pencil with Wingback lead - available in 0.5mm and 0.7mm. I went for the 0.7mm - a broader statement is always preferable.

About us

Since 2014 we've been blending technical engineering with traditional craft to create refined tools that are guaranteed to last a lifetime. We design every product ourselves, from a studio in London's iconic Oxo Tower.

The metal is machined in England, the leather hand-stitched in London, and our waxed cotton bags made in England. A few pieces are made overseas, by specialists who do that particular job better than we could here, and where that's the case we say so on the product page rather than leave you guessing.

Wherever a product is made, it's designed here and carries the same guarantee. If something stops working as it should in normal use, we repair or replace it, however long you've owned it.
