About Slateforth

From a clean slate, going forth.

Before paper was cheap, children learned to write on slates: write, wipe, try again. We love that idea of a clean start, and of putting ideas down and moving forward with them. That's what Slateforth is for.

We're a small studio of writers, planners and list-makers. We design a deliberately short range of stationery, test it hard and help each customer choose the right pen, paper or gift, one conversation at a time.

How we make it

Small range. Good paper. No waste.

i.

Ink-tested paper

Every notebook is tested with fountain pens, gel pens and pencils before it goes on sale, so there's no bleed and no feathering.

ii.

Refill, don't replace

Converters, refills and spare parts are available for every pen, and our leather cover takes any Forth notebook.

iii.

Made to be used

No limited-edition hype. Just honest tools priced for everyday writing, not for a display shelf.
