Made in England

This product is made in England. We keep as much as we can close to home, but the priority is always on creating the best product. Where something is better made overseas, it is, and we note it in the details.

International duties & taxes included at checkout

A holder that celebrates the beauty of solid metal, machined from a single billet to store any piece of Wingback stationery upright on your desk, doubling as a hefty paperweight. Finished with a 4µm tungsten carbide layer, 9x harder than stainless steel and usually reserved for high-performance cutting tools, so the surface stays unmarked through years of daily reaching for a pen.

Pen/Pencil Holder - Black Steel made in England by Wingback.
Design

Our pen holder celebrates the beauty of solid metal. Machined from a single billet it can store any piece of Wingback stationery on your desk and doubles as a hefty paper weight.

The Black Steel version is finished with an ultra hard, scratch resistant 4µm tungsten carbide layer which is 9x harder than stainless steel, and usually reserved for high performance cutting tools.

Please note: Some Black Steel items are still in production and may take up to 10 days to fulfil.

Specification
Materials Metal: Aerospace grade 304 stainless steel from Europe, CNC machined in Birmingham, UK. Tungsten carbide carbon finish applied in Cambridge, UK.
Sleeve: Oeko-Tex double thickness cotton sleeve from Poland, Europe.
Manufacturing engraved and packaged in London, UK.
Measurements 30 mm x 30 mm diameter
Weight 152 g (5.35 oz)
Personalisation Max 50 characters
All inscriptions are in capital letters and run around the top of the Pen Holder.
Considerations The black steel Pen Holder 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 in transit, and carrying your diamonds in another pocket. Note: the black steel finish is not applied on the inside of the Pen Holder.

The tungsten carbide coating is nine times harder than stainless steel, so it shrugs off keys and coins. No polish needed.
Wear & care

The tungsten carbide coating is nine times harder than stainless steel, so it needs no special care beyond a wipe with a dry cloth. Mechanisms run near frictionless and should never need maintaining.

Do not use metal polish; it is for bare metal and does nothing for a coated surface.

Delivery & returns

Every order ships tracked from our London studio. Complimentary shipping on orders over £250.

International orders are sent delivered duty paid. The price you pay at checkout includes any import duty and tax due in your country, so there is nothing to pay on delivery.

You have 30 days from delivery to return an unused piece for a refund. Personalised or engraved items are made for you, so they are not returnable unless faulty.

Brass is the new gold!

I was so enamoured with my brass mechanical pencil I bought the matching pen and pen holder, both with engraving. These look superb on my desk and attract a lot of attention. But the real pleasure is in how they work in the work I do with them. Perfect heft, smooth writing and a real statement about craftsmanship and quality.

Precision engineering

I’m not a big pen guy but I wanted, simply put, one pen that would last me a lifetime. Blown away by the quality, love the length, weight and most importantly the twist mechanism. I find myself fiddling with it in meetings.

I had the pen engraved. I will be purchasing another for my father soon, he will appreciate it for the same reasons as me.

Overall, I’m very pleased with the pen and the stand, the fit is exceptional, and makes for a nice display on my desk.

A genuinely welcome addition to the pen

Having purchased both the original Mechanical Pen & the latest version with the clip, I feel the stands add that extra satisfying touch of practicality as well as presentation of the pen on a desk. Having one stand felt at odds so both pens now have own stainless steel stands. Are beautifully made & feel the extra 20% discount in the sale made more sense for me as a price point. Many thanks.

Thanks James, great to hear the collection is growing.

Top Notch Quality

Honestly, Im not a pen guy. I happened to see the pens and decided to try these out. The pens show proof of excellent craftmanship and the pen and pencil holders are just as equally impressive. I have a total of 4 maybe 5 of the holders and at least 6 to 8 pens and pencils from Wingback. Its safe to say Im a true fan.

Brass pen holder

I’ve had my brass mechanical pen for about 6 months now and started using it every day at my desk. The brass pen holder, made to the same exacting standards as the brass mechanical pen, is a real asset keeping the pen ready for every time I need a pen, without having to go searching for it.

I love Wingback gear so much I’m considering getting a second pen for daily carry use, I have two sons and can’t have just one heirloom to leave :)

Personalised pen holder

The world is lacking in true craftsmen but I truly found a business who fulfil the meaning of the word. Their work is outstanding and each piece is made with love. You can almost feel the passion they have when you hold their products. I am more than happy with the item and the service. My husband bought the pen and I surprised him with the holder!
We are blown away by every aspect of Wingback.
Thank you!

Bold brass anchor for pen

A great addition to my desktop. Pen slips neatly into the holder and stays where it is due to the heft of this pen side anchor. Inspirational quotes are the nice touch for reflecting on as one seeks inspiration

Great Product

Like all Wingback products, very well made, solid quality feel. Compliments my pen completely.

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.
