This glorious all-metal mechanical pencil stores enough lead to last you an entire lifetime!




Here’s a pencil designed to last a lifetime as well as write for a lifetime. The Wingback Mechanical Pencil is an expertly crafted all-metal writing/drawing instrument designed to work seamlessly for decades. Made from high-quality metals with well-engineered tolerances, the Wingback Mechanical Pencil looks premium and feels robust. Like any good piece of stationery, it’s weighted to give you a comfortable writing and drawing experience, measures a compact 117.5mm to fit perfectly in the crook of your hand, and it’s built to last… but its most remarkable feature actually sits under its hood, away from your eyes.

Unlike most mechanical pencils, the Wingback focuses on the less tangible aspects of performance too. Sure, a pencil should be able to let you draw flowing lines, and let you ideate with relative ease… but what happens when you suddenly run out of lead in the middle of a sketch? Your thought-flow breaks and you spend a good 2 minutes opening the pencil, emptying the old lead piece out, and adding a new lead piece in. The Wingback Mechanical Pencil circumvents that problem with a cleverly designed interior. The pencil’s hollow body holds as many as 40 lead refills at a time, and a cleverly designed bespoke mechanism allows new leads to deploy as soon as the old lead finishes, allowing you to continuously write or draw without any break in your flow. In fact, designer Alasdair MacLaine claims that the pencil fits 10x more lead than traditional mechanical pencils, and can continuously write for 50 full kilometers, so you should only have to refill the lead tank a handful of times in a lifetime (that’s if you’re a serious sketch-bug!)

The Wingback Mechanical Pencil is reminiscent of the London-based design studio’s Mechanical Pen design from 2019. It comes immaculately machined from metal, with three metallic options to choose from – Brass, Stainless Steel, and Black Steel (featuring a scratch-resistant tungsten carbide surface finish). The gripping area measures a comfortable 10mm in diameter and features a knurled texture that’s great to look at and even greater to hold.

Pressing the top of the pencil triggers the unique all-metal propelling mechanism inside, which has been designed by Wingback in England and built specifically for this model by a specialist manufacturer in Japan. This mechanism lets you fit a stunning 2.4 meters worth of lead refills inside, while the clicking action deploys a new refill as soon as the old one finishes. A retractable lead sleeve, activated by holding down the clicker, allows the lead to be pushed back inside the Pencil, and prevents any unwanted lead-wobble as you write, giving you an entirely well-calibrated writing experience from start to end.

Speaking of ‘from start to end’, that seems to be Wingback’s underlying philosophy too. Just like its 2019 Mechanical Pen, the Wingback Mechanical Pencil is built to outlast any other stationery you have. Its immaculately designed, engineered, and constructed body is made to last a lifetime (the brass variant should even develop a brilliant patina over the years), and with space for 40 lead refills, the pencil’s writing capacity will probably outlast your creativity too!

The brand’s logo is discreetly engraved along the barrel using a pulsed fiber laser, and each Pencil comes with the option to add up to 50 characters on the reverse, making it an extra personal keepsake. With a subtle nod to its heritage and local construction, MADE IN ENGLAND is also unobtrusively engraved on the Pencil’s internal compartment. Wingback have also announced that the Mechanical Pencil will be offered with limited edition artist collaborations throughout April, so keep your eye on their campaign for each new release!

The Designer’s All-metal Mechanical Pencil

Made in England by design studio Wingback, the Mechanical Pencil has a bespoke all-metal propelling mechanism that can fit up to 2.4m of lead – enough to keep you writing for over 50km.

With a wide 10mm (3/8 inch) diameter and diamond knurled grip, it sits comfortably in the hand to reduce writing fatigue, while the satisfying weight of its materials encourages more time to be taken with every stroke.

Mechanism

Their all-metal mechanism holds up to 2.4m of lead. Which should keep you writing, sketching, drawing and doodling for months or even years.

Customized designed from start to finish, the pencil’s mechanism is made in Iwaki, by Japan’s oldest mechanical pencil manufacturer (founded in 1909) with a track record for producing quality parts for the world’s most respected pencil brands.

Personalization

Every Pencil is engraved with a pulsed fibre laser and can be personalized with up to 50 characters along the barrel – enough space for initials, a name or quote to make the pencil extra special for its owner.

Wingback X Artist Series

Wingback have teamed up with select artists, illustrators and even cartographers from around the world. These special edition collaborations will be available in brass and stainless steel.

Limited Edition Drop #1: Wingback X Anoushka Irukandji – This Brisbane-based artist’s henna-inspired “Terra Australis” design is a declaration of love for her adopted home country. “It’s inspired by the spectacular flora, everblooming trees and the beautiful shapes and textures in the leaves, bark and seed pods that I’m privileged to walk among every day,” she explains.

Limited Edition Drop #2: Wingback X Mister Vi – They first partnered with New York-based illustrator Vi Luong for the release of our Mechanical Pen in 2019. His “NYC” skyline explores the view of midtown Manhattan and the iconic art deco-inspired Empire State Building from downtown Soho. Not only an homage to the scale and enormity of the city he lives in and loves, Mister Vi’s artwork is a celebration of the precise fine line architectural drawings that influence his craft.

Limited Edition Drop #3: Last Maps – They are delighted to partner with Lást Maps, a cartography studio based in York, made up of Thomas Moore and Angélique Jones. “Our mission is to capture the excitement of adventure in nature, while raising awareness for the environment and wildlife we share it with,” says Thomas.

Everything Lást Maps produce is hand-drawn, creating work rooted in pencil, pen and paper. “Polar Explorer” is their tribute to cartographers of old and the explorer in each of us. “Maps help us navigate our position in the world, reflect on past journeys, and inspire adventures ahead,” Thomas adds.

Limited Edition Drop #4: Wingback X Inky Daze – For their final collaboration, they opened submissions to find a new artist and artwork to bring to life in our Mechanical Pencil. The standout winner for making full use of the 360˚ pencil canvas came from Jessica Rozencwajg, a New Zealand-based artist specializing in printmaking, illustration, jewelry and crafts.

Jessica’s “Fungi” design is a celebration of nature – “a rich source of inspiration for so many creatives” – which she produced using a traditional hand-carved lino block print.

Design & Functionality

Over a year of design work and 20+ iterations has refined this design. A larger diameter barrel means your hand won’t fatigue as quickly as gripping a narrower pencil and the knurled barrel provides good purchase for your fingers.

The satisfying weight of the pencil also puts a little extra momentum behind straight lines and circles and also acts as a gentle reminder to take more time over your writing and drawing, achieving a neater result.

Materials

All of the metal used to machine the pencil housing is sourced from European companies who supply the aerospace industry. Available in Brass, Stainless Steel and Black Steel (Tungsten Carbide).

Brass: 40g / 1.41 oz – The heavier of the two, the brass pencil will develop a unique patina as its surface oxidizes and interacts with the natural oils in your hands. This pen will quickly look like a timeless tool, but can easily be polished up to its original luster.

Stainless Steel 304: 36g / 1.27oz – Slightly lighter than brass, stainless steel has a harder surface and will not oxidize over time. This means it will maintain its crisp aesthetic indefinitely.

Black Steel 304: 36g / 1.27oz – Black Steel rivals the exotic look of Damascus steel or titanium, with a sub-metallic lustre that reveals a glimmer of the steel beneath the surface. The Black Steel finish also serves a vital purpose in protecting the Wingback Pencil for the long haul.

All parts are interchangeable, allowing you to mix and match brass, stainless steel and black steel parts if you back the full set.

Engineering

The pencil’s machined casing is custom made from start to finish and they are proud to make this product in England using trusted local suppliers. A solid block of stainless steel or brass is CNC machined to produce incredibly precise parts which are a pleasure to use. Each one is individually inspected and tested to ensure it will withstand the test of time. Our manufacturing partner make predominantly aerospace components and have BS EN AS 9100 accreditation.

Specification

The pencil is designed to be as compact as possible to fit discreetly into a bag or pocket for use on the go, but long enough to sit comfortably in the crook of your hand while drawing for long periods. The wide diameter makes it comfortable to use for long periods and strong enough to last a lifetime.

– Diameter: Ø10mm / 3/8 Inch
– Height: 117.5mm / 4.63 Inch

The Finish

Machined finish to a surface roughness of 1.6 Ra (μm) with a 0.5mm perpendicular diamond knurl around the circumference. The surface roughness is visually smooth, but has a lovely tactility, the deliberate microscopic surface variation means that scratches picked up will be less prominent than on a smoother surface. The small knurling detail offers a good solid grip for long sessions.

Incredibly stylish EDC gear coated with Tungsten Carbide (3.5x harder than titanium) will last an entire lifetime!

3.5 times harder than titanium, the strongest metal known to mankind, Tungsten Carbide is akin to black-gold in the EDC world. Give any gear a coating of Tungsten Carbide and it shines black like obsidian rock, with a unique metallic luster that’s glimmery in a subtle way… but more importantly, it makes them practically invincible, resisting any sort of external wear and tear. Pair it with Wingback’s series of exquisitely designed EDC and you’ve got the ideal combination of aesthetics and performance. Designed by Alasdair MacLaine, Wingback’s Black Steel collection sports three minimal-yet-functional products that are bound to be an unwavering part of your everyday carry. A bullet-sized Key Cache helps you store emergency money on your keychain, while a mechanical pen with its comfortable broad design promises to be the last pen you’ll ever want to use. Lastly, MacLaine’s 100ml hip-flask comes with the same cylindrical lathe-manufactured design as the other products in the series. With a refreshing baton-shaped design, the hip-flask is a pleasure to look at and to use, giving you the ability to store liquids in it as well as use it as a bottle-opener.

All of the Black Steel products are precisely lathe-manufactured in the UK using stainless steel, before being coated with a 3um thick surface of the magical Tungsten Carbide using a revolutionary process called magnetron sputtering. The result is a product with a black finish that’s still remarkably shiny, thanks to the steel sitting underneath it. You can even get custom personalized inscriptions laser-engraved onto your products, revealing the shining steel underneath the black coating. Each EDC gear is designed to be perfectly functional as well as aesthetic, with impeccable tolerances, and knurled surfaces that make using the items easy. The pill-sized Key Cache easily sits on your keychain, giving you access to an emergency bank-note if you ever find yourself in a financial fix. The mechanical pen, on the other hand, comes with a diameter of 10mm that feels comfortable to hold, along with the pen’s inherent weight. A single-handed twist of the knurled dial at the end helps deploy the pen’s Fisher PR pressurized ball-point refill, which can easily be replaced after use. The 100ml Hip Flask builds on an existing classic in Wingback’s catalog (which we’ve featured before on YD for its uniquely appealing design), but gives it a layer of future-proofing with the black Tungsten Carbide coating. The hip-flask comes fitted with water-tight silicone gaskets to ensure hermetic sealing, while its base also has a bottle-opener machined into it for good measure. The base is entirely removable too, making the flask easy to clean after use.

Every product in Wingback’s Black Steel collection comes with the same mentality of providing quality that lasts. The dark coating on the products help increase their lifespan nearly ten-fold, and each item is made from locally sourced materials to ensure a lower carbon footprint. Wingback ensures the delivery of each product is 100% carbon neutral along with a promise that they’ll serve you loyally for the rest of your life.

Black Steel – Everyday Items Built to Last a Lifetime

Designed and made in England, the Black Steel Collection is a personalized everyday essentials with a tungsten carbide surface that’s 3.5x harder than titanium. The collection consists of the Mechanical Pen, 100ml Hip Flask and Key Cache.

Aesthetically, Black Steel rivals the exotic look of Damascus steel or titanium, with a sub-metallic lustre that reveals a glimmer of the steel beneath the surface. But it doesn’t just catch the eye. Their Black Steel finish also serves a vital purpose in protecting their pen, flask and key cache for the long haul.

It’s applied using a technology called magnetron sputtering, usually reserved for luxury watches and military-grade tools, where multiple nano layers of tungsten carbide carbon are deposited onto the stainless steel surface in a matter of seconds.

The resulting 3um thick surface has a Vickers hardness of 1200 VPN, 9x harder than stainless steel and 3.5x harder than titanium. Their Black Steel finish also has incredibly low friction (< 0.1) due to the carbon added, ensuring the sliding surfaces of the mechanism are satisfyingly smooth.

As a result, their Black Steel Collection will be scratch resistant to virtually anything you will put in your pocket and the parts should never need to be maintained, let alone replaced. They’ll work as well for you today as they will for a grandchild who might inherit your collection in decades to come.

Made to Order

After machining, each product can be laser engraved with a personal inscription, on the base of the 100ml Hip and Key Cache, and along the barrel of the Mechanical Pen.

The all-metal Wingback Mechanical Pen is a delight for the senses!

With details that would absolutely entice any mechanical-design/industrial-design enthusiast, the Wingback Mechanical Pen is a hat-tip to the reliability of products from half a century ago. Long before planned obsolescence was a thing, products were built to last a lifetime. People would own, use, and reuse products for years, passionately maintaining them for future use, and fixing them if something ever broke. It’s rare to see that sort of passion in today’s products, and the Wingback Mechanical Pen is a rare item that embraces that culture of design-for-perpetuity. Machined entirely from brass and stainless steel – and available with custom engraving for every owner – the Wingback presents a wonderful throwback to the days when products were reliable, and pens were designed to last not years, but generations.

With a classic form on the outside and a high-quality refill on the inside, the Wingback is a really reliable writing instrument. Its classic form sports a knurled grip for sheer tactile delight, and a knurled end-cap that you can screw off to access the pen’s refill on the inside. The Wingback comes with a Fisher PR4 pressurized cartridge; a refill that lasts on an average thrice as long as most refills, and comes with a tungsten-carbide tip that gives it incredible smoothness and strength. The Wingback’s outer body is calibrated for a great writing experience too, with a width of 10mm that feels comfortable to hold onto, along with the metallic construction’s weight that gives you confident, reliable strokes. The end-cap can be twisted to deploy and retract the nib, giving you a neat mechanism that your fingers will absolutely fall in love with.

The Wingback comes in two variants, a pristine stainless steel that promises to look exactly the same even as centuries pass, and a lustrous brass, that captures the old-world spirit, and will develop a beautiful patina over time, as unique as you and the thoughts you pen down.

Wingback’s hip-flask explores a radically different pocketable form

Hear the word hip-flask and you immediately picture a curved, rectangular metal container with a lid. The hip-flask’s design is surely archetypal, and most would say that it isn’t a design to be reinvented or toyed with, but that’s not how the design industry works. Deciding that it’s time to give the trusty old hipflask a functional and aesthetic facelift, Alasdair MacLaine created the 100ml Hip by Wingback, a novel-looking flask that opts for a more secure, machined-to-perfection cylindrical design. The redesigned flask – designed and manufactured in the UK – brings new features to the table. It sports a wider neck that’s easier to fill liquids into, as compared to the thin-mouthed generic hipflasks. It also makes the Wingback easier to clean, thanks to its cylindrical build.

Its wide cylinder design is the perfect combination of function and portability. It’s aptly sized to comfortably sip from or fill into, and the perfect width to carry around too… whether in your hand, or your pocket. The 316 Stainless Steel construction gives it its strength, and its CNC milled design means that the Wingback has a higher wall thickness than those flimsy sheet-metal flasks, and comes made out of a single billet of steel, rather than being soldered and welded like most flasks. Its design is the result of a fine set of processes and materials, and they in turn result in a product that looks unique, feels reliable, lasts longer, and is absolutely a class above the rest.

The hipflask comes crafted from aerospace grade stainless steel, and was built with the purpose of being a healthier, food-grade alternative to your granddad’s silver or pewter flasks (which often contained traces of lead), and was made to hold its shape and last longer. Unlike regular broad hipflask designs that can’t be cleaned, Wingback even built a removable base into its cylindrical design, giving you the ability to clean inside and out, keeping your hipflask as good as new (because the last thing you want is for your alcohol to mix with traces from the previous batch.) For personalization, Wingback even offers custom laser engraving on the base of every flask, making it an ideal keepsake for yourself, or a gift for someone special.

“Our aim is to create iconic designs that will last as long as you do,” says designer and Wingback founder Alasdair MacLaine. “And we believe good design includes minimizing the impact our products have on the environment. We source the highest quality materials from trusted local suppliers in the UK and Europe and all our packaging is 100% recyclable.”

Weighing a mere 180g, the Wingback has a capacity of 100ml, and boasts of a design that helps reinvent the century-old pocketable-flask design. Oh, and it even packs a bottle opener on its base to keep the good times rolling!!
