Terrible fit and finish and no response

Received the pen and although action was decent, extremely
disappointed with the finish. Out of the box the top has big scratches/gouges.. doesn’t look like tooling marks. Just looked banged up.. don’t expect this from a brand new pen especially one this expensive.

Many emails sent over the last week about a return and zero response. Terrible…

Hi Rainer,

Thanks for getting in touch, so sorry to hear you're not happy with your pen and we may have missed a message about it.

I'll look through for you now and we'll get this resolved for you.

Thanks

I would love to write something nice but so disappointed

I would love to write something special like everyone else’s about this pen and company but I’m having such a terrible time getting my pen that I purchased. I was told my was complete but no shipping information than told I could order something else or a remake, I’ve been waiting for this pen to give to my daughter for graduation but all I get is our small service team will reach out to me but no one has yet only when I reach out to them I get a response. It’s a damm shame I heard good things about this company.

Gift

I gave this as a gift to an architect friend. He loved it. “It’s absolutely beautiful and gone straight to the top of my list of favourite stationary (no mean feat). Will treasure it!"

Sorry, I don’t love the pen

Sorry, I don’t love the pen. I use Kaweco, Grovemade and a variety of other top brands. Honestly, I find the Wingback too small in the hand and the bullet style tip below the grip is wide and infringes on you seeing what you’re actually writing. I like the clip pen stand, pocket clip and G2 options so I can use the gel ink of my choice. Sorry, Shaun.

One of the most beautiful pens I have ever owned

One of the most beautiful pens I have ever owned . The weight distribution, the smooth flow of the pen on the paper and the Matt aesthetic beauty is a pure enjoyment that catches the eyes of other people every time I use it .

Shameless Indulgence

I really did not need another pen … but that’s the thing here - I didn’t need this, but I WANTED it, very much so!!
It is shamelessly indulgent but quite simply the most satisfying pen to write with, to own, to just look at … it never fails to make me smile.

Simply Exceptional

The Wingback Journeyman is an outstanding pen and one of the few modern products I've purchased that completely lives up to its reputation. The machining, fit, and finish are exceptional. Every detail feels carefully considered, from the precision of the mechanism to the quality of the materials. It has the kind of solid, confidence-inspiring feel that immediately tells you it was built to last.

What I appreciate most is that it doesn't rely on flashy features or gimmicks. It's simply a beautifully engineered writing instrument that performs its job exceptionally well. The weight, balance, and overall ergonomics make it a pleasure to use, while the timeless design ensures it will never look dated.

Equally impressive is Wingback's customer service. In an era when good customer support seems increasingly rare, Wingback stands out. My experience was prompt, professional, and genuinely helpful. It's clear they take pride not only in the products they make but also in how they treat their customers after the sale.

The combination of exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and first-class customer service makes the Wingback Journeyman easy to recommend. If you appreciate precision-made mechanical objects that are built to last a lifetime, this pen is worth every penny.

Pen is awesome

I really enjoy this pen… I have many. I think the “knock”mechanism is quite tactile and fidgety, nice weight distribution… it’s a little weighty but balanced. My only complaint has nothing to do with the pen… I was hit with a hefty “trump tariff” which made this pen quite expensive but luckily ordered a beautiful “British racing green” livery that will showcase this pens beautiful origins in the pen making heartland of England. Thanks! Please let me know if you find a “liquid fuel” journeyman!

Wingback Journeyman Steel Pen

I like the material this pen is made of and I also like it’s size and weight.
The price of this pen is quite high, but I am happy that I did buy this pen.

Hi Andris,

Glad you're enjoying your Journeyman pen. Thanks for the 5 star review!

Have a lovely day

Beautifully made pen

I ordered the Wingback Stainless Steel pen with a custom engraving, and it’s become far more than just a writing tool. In hand, the steel feels weighty and substantial, exactly what I want from a daily writer. The machining is precise, the knurling is crisp, and it catches the light in a way that makes the whole piece feel alive. The build is solid and exacting. No rattle from the refill - tried both easy flow 9000 from Schmidt and Uniball Jetstream - both work beautifully without any rattle.

It's left such an impression, I just placed another order in brass.

Wow, what a beautiful review! Thank you so much P.J.

We take great pride in the quality of our products and we are so glad you can see this.

I hope you love the brass Journeyman just as much!

Thank you again for such a thoughtful review

The turning is really crunchy like nails on a chalkboard. Just unpleasant to use.

Hi Anthony,

Thanks!

Outstanding

I have the steel color and then they made this and I had to have it. Quality construction, amazing black metal and beautifully designed. Perfect weight in the hand. A true joy to use. Some may wish it were longer but this is perfectly pocket sized.

Thanks so much for your review amazing to hear you're so pleased!

A beautiful pen

I was in two minds about buying this pen, as I’d never spent so much on a pen before. But I’m so glad I did. I went for the brass version and the craftsmanship is outstanding. It feels solid, weighty, and beautifully made.
The internal mechanism operates flawlessly.
I carry mine everywhere with me in my zibaldone, and it’s already developing a gorgeous patina. It feels like a true lifelong tool.

Hi James,

Thanks so much for this lovely review!

Great to hear you have found your lifelong pen!
