Details

Metal: Aerospace-grade 304 stainless steel from Europe, CNC machined in Birmingham, UK. Tungsten carbide carbon finish applied in Cambridge, UK.

Mechanism: Bespoke all-metal mechanism made in Iwaki, Japan.

Packaging: Waxed cotton sleeve from Halley Stevensons in Scotland or Oeko-Tex double thickness cotton sleeve from Poland, Europe.

Finish: Laser engraved, assembled by hand and packaged in London, UK.

Weight: 38g (1.3 oz)

Dimensions: Ø10mm (3/8") diameter, 117.5mm (4.63") length

Mechanism: Fits 1.4m of 0.9mm, 2.4m of 0.7mm or 4.8m of 0.5mm diameter lead

Inscriptions: Max 35 characters

Engraving: All inscriptions are in capital letters and run along the length of the barrel

Considerations: The Black Steel pen retains all the precision and corrosion-resistant qualities of stainless steel, while the tungsten carbide finish increases the surface hardness 9x. Any marks it picks up from regular use should be easily wiped away. However, the surface is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Anything harder than the surface (diamond, some ceramics) or really aggressive use will be able to scratch it, which is why we recommend keeping it in its cotton sleeve when not in use, and carrying your diamonds in another pocket.

Can't get it to work

I've come onto the website today as a last gasp to see if there were any handy instructions on how to get my brass pencil to work. But no, nothing obvious sprang out. So then I looked at the reviews and pressed on the single star reviews, as they're often the ones that reveal whether it's me or the product that doesn't work. And, lo and behold, I'm not alone. There are other people out there who get fed up pressing the end cap after checking that the reserve has lead in it - there's nothing on the pencil itself to say what size lead should be used but I found the case it came with last night and it says on there - to no avail. I want to like this pencil but I'm really struggling...

Hi Greg,

Thanks for getting in touch. More than happy to help get your pencil working.

It's almost always an incredibly easy fix to walk people through, either the pencil has taken a bit of a tumble or cleaning out the lead dust does the trick!

If you pop me over an email hello@wingback.co.uk I'll be able to help you out.

Thanks!

Terrific EDC

As a collector of pens, mechanical pencils and fountain pens for over 40 years, the moment I self-discovered this brand, I knew I wanted to have and use one. I was not disappointed upon opening the box! After changing out the leads (I use 2H and 3H), I found writing with it was super comfortable and visually it looked super cool. It was smaller than I had thought but the size is perfect for an EDC. One option I would love to see is a knurled cap - this would yield a rating of 5+ as it would bookend the knurled grip perfectly and increase the coolness factor...

Hi Tim!

Thanks so much for your fab review - great to hear that it has become a part of your collection.

I will pass on your suggestions to the team for a knurled cap!

Have a lovely day
