Flawless work, I’m stunned by how well a cheap, steel nib can be polished by an expert in the craft.The form factor of the brass sport is perfect, but Kaweco’s nib QC is rather lacking and I had a dud. What was once a rarely used pen in the collection, has now turned into one I can’t put down since the custom medium oblique arrived. Couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much

Excellent work (nib grinds on two 18ct gold nibs to change from "medium" to "cursive italic." Delighted with the results. Also customer service was first class including excellent communication re timescales and postage etc. Highly recommended.

Request was to find a replacement nib for a Scriptura Fountain pen. Anna provided a replacement and tested the new nib before sending the pen back to me. The pen writes better than it ever did and the service was great value for money. I would have no hesitation in recommending people to contact the company. Simply First Class service and communication!

I bought a Montblanc fountain pen that I had always wanted secondhand. The nib was scratchy and made the pen unusable, so it sat unloved and unused in a drawer for many months. I came across Martin and Anna whilst searching for inks and after a few messages and some photos I sent them my pen. In only a few days they worked their magic on my pen and it came back clean, polished and buttery smooth. I am absolutely delighted with their service and will be sending them another fountain for them to work their magic on. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you

I’m finding it increasingly difficult to find moderately priced fountain pens with an oblique fine nib, or even an oblique nib at all. As a last resort I ordered a medium oblique from Faber Castell, only to find it didn’t suit me at all. The team at The Writing Desk have converted a scratchy medium oblique-ish nib to a fine stub oblique - and now the pen is a joy! Highly recommend!

My wife and I are latecomers to the pen "community" but we struck it ever so lucky when we found Anna and Martin at "The Writing Desk". They've been incredibly kind and generous with their time and providing us with tips and information. The products we've bought have been first class, priced competitively, well packaged and delivered promptly. We're glad they're not disappearing altogether as I expect we'll need their services fixing / fine-tuning pens. All the very best to them in their future endeavours.

Just to say a thank you to both Anna and Martin for their wonderful service over the last few years that I have been a customer. I have purchased a few pens from them over this period and their service has always been excellent. I have just purchased my last 2 fountain pens from them before they close their retail side of the business and just concentrate on servicing fountain pens, vintage fountain pens and custom nib work. Many thanks for all your hard work over the years. Best wishes for your future.
