Scriveiner is a British brand specialising in the design and manufacture of premium quality, affordable, luxury fine writing instruments.

Founded on the principles of luxury minimalism by husband and wife team Justin and Yanning, all Scriveiner pens must: be beautifully designed, be fit for purpose, last a lifetime, offer incredible value for money, and enrich our customers' lives.

Since inception, Scriveiner has become the #1 UK pen brand — one of the fastest growing companies in the UK, with pens adored by pen lovers around the world.

Scriveiner (also 'scrivener') is a Middle English word meaning a scribe or professional writer. The Merriam-Webster dictionary has an audio example — click the speaker icon on their site. In British English, we shorten the 'ner' sound at the end.

We combine British design, German engineering, and Chinese manufacturing:

• All pens are designed in London
• Writing components (nibs, refills, converters) are made in Germany
• Pen body, box, and final assembly are manufactured in China
• Cartridges are made in the UK

We are a British brand based in London with a global supply chain — like most companies today. All products are designed in London; the pen body is manufactured in China; the refill in Germany. It's the same model as Apple — designed in the US, manufactured to very high standards in China.

Our standard warranty is one year. Customers can get a two-year extended warranty by registering their pen on our website.

Use Scriveiner rollerball ink refills (black or blue), available on Amazon. You can also use Schmidt 888 refills — available on Amazon or in good stationery stores (search 'Schmidt 888 refill').

1. Unscrew the pen barrel — there is a spring inside the barrel end. Don't lose it.
2. Remove the current refill from the grip section.
3. Place the new refill in the grip section.
4. Reassemble the pen. If the spring is missing, the refill tip will push back in when writing.
5. A spare spring is included in the envelope with the spare refill.
6. To replace the spring: disassemble, insert the spring into the barrel, then reassemble.

For the black and silver pens, the accents (gold rings, clip, base, and top logo surround) are plated with 24k gold.

The pen uses the German Liquid Ink system. The refill may be near empty, or an unused refill can dry out if stored without the cap (normally lasts 12 months capped). Try these steps:

1. Scribble quickly up, down, and in circles on paper.
2. Warm water: submerge only the tip to break up any dried ink.
3. Shake and press: shake the pen, then press the ball firmly onto paper.

If none of these work, direct the customer to Live Chat or the website.

The vast majority of left-handed customers report no issues. Our liquid ink dries very quickly, minimising smearing — though writing style and grip are always factors.

No. The refills use different mechanisms (oil-based vs liquid ink) and different dimensions. They are not interchangeable.

Black Lacquer, Silver Chrome, Midnight Blue, British Racing Green, Deep Crimson Red, Black Green, Stainless Steel, and All-Gold.

Brass with lacquer or silver chrome coating. Black and silver pens have 24-karat gold plated accents; logo set in resin (black) or mother of pearl (silver). Blue, red, and green pens have chrome plated accents; logo set in mother of pearl (blue, green) or resin (red).

The ballpoint uses a German Schmidt P900 refill — a standard 'G2' (Parker style) size. Any good quality G2 refill will fit. Available on Amazon or in good stationery stores, in a wide variety of colours and tip sizes.

1. Unscrew the pen barrel.
2. Remove the current refill from the grip section.
3. Place the new refill into the grip section.
4. Reassemble ensuring the spring is in position.
5. A spare spring is in the envelope underneath the pen tray.

For the black and silver pens, the accents are plated with 24k gold.

The Schmidt P900 is very reliable. The refill may be near empty or have dried out (normally lasts 12 months). Try:

1. Scribble up, down, and in circles on paper.
2. Warm water: submerge only the tip.
3. Shake and press: shake the pen, then press firmly onto paper.

If none of these work, direct the customer to Live Chat or the website.

Ballpoint pens use oil-based ink that dries quickly, making them ideal for left-handed writers with a smear-free writing experience.

No. The refills use different mechanisms, ink types, and dimensions. They are not interchangeable.

Black Lacquer, Silver Chrome, Midnight Blue, British Racing Green, Deep Crimson Red, Black Green, Stainless Steel, and All-Gold.

Brass with lacquer or silver chrome coating. Black and silver pens have 24-karat gold plated accents; logo set in resin (black) or mother of pearl (silver). Blue, red, and green pens have chrome plated accents; logo set in mother of pearl (blue, green) or resin (red).

The nib is a Schmidt FH241 (size 5), available in Extra Fine (0.35mm), Fine (0.5mm), Medium (0.6mm), or Broad (0.7mm). We don't sell them directly, but they're available from various online retailers.

Keep the nib up when not in use to prevent drying or clogging. Store inside the protective case or pouch to keep it looking like new.

Scriveiner cartridges are on Amazon (20 per pack) in black and blue.

The pen accepts International Standard Size cartridges (short and long). Tested compatible brands: MontBlanc, Schneider, Waterman, Pelikan, Kaweco, Caran d'Ache, Stabilo, Monteverde, Diamine, Beaufort.

⚠️ Not compatible: Dryden, Monaggio, Jinhao (claim ISS but are smaller). Parker Quink is also a different format and will not fit.

1. Ensure the cartridge is fully pushed in — the seal must be broken to release ink. If using a converter, make sure it's properly seated.
2. Replace the cap and rest the pen nib-down in a glass to let ink feed through.
3. Hold vertically and gently tap the nib onto paper to help gravity pull ink down.
4. Press the nib down harder than normal to open the slit slightly — repeat until ink flows.
5. Run the nib tip under warm water to start flow.

For the black and silver pens, the accents are plated with 24k gold. The nib is a Schmidt nib gilded with 18K gold.

The supplied converter is a German Schmidt K6 (screw-in). You can also use a Schmidt K5 (plug-in). Search 'Schmidt ink converter' on Amazon or in good stationery stores.

Fountain pens are suitable for both right and left-handed writers, depending on technique and handwriting position.

Fountain pens perform best on good quality, thick paper. Thin or low-quality paper may cause feathering (ink spreading through fibres), bleed-through, or show-through. Paper specifically designed for fountain pens is engineered to prevent these issues. Thicker paper naturally reduces show-through.

Black Lacquer, Silver Chrome, Midnight Blue, British Racing Green, Deep Crimson Red, Black Green, Stainless Steel, and All-Gold.

Brass with lacquer or silver chrome coating. Accents are 24 carat gold or chrome-plated. Logo is set in resin (black/red lacquer) or mother of pearl (silver chrome, blue, green lacquer). The nib is gilded 18-carat gold or stainless steel.

The pencil uses a Schmidt DSM 2006 mechanism with 0.7mm leads. Supplied leads are high-polymer HB, but harder/softer grades can also be used. Available on Amazon or in good stationery stores.

For a thinner lead, an additional DSM 2006 mechanism for 0.5mm leads can be purchased and swapped in. Most customers will never need to do this, but the option exists.

No — our pencil is specifically designed to match the rollerball and ballpoint aesthetic, which does not include a top eraser. You would need to purchase an eraser separately.
