      I’m surprised nobody else has rotring… my favorite by a considerable amount. Second place goes to the Uni Kuro Toga. Both fantastic pencils, but the weight and feel of the rotring 600 just leaves everything else in the dust

        The rotring is super smooth, but its so heavy. I wanted it to be my favorite, but I ended up reaching for the kuro toga far more. Doesnt help that the tip of the rotring bent and dented out on the first drop. I bent it back and it still works, as long as I don’t rotate it.

        So I thought the uni would be a neat way to use thicker lead but avoid the weird slant in longer sessions. But I don’t write in kanji (sp?) and with my mutated cursive alot of my letters string together. So the rotation is not nearly enough, and I end up still getting the weird slant thing on my lead. Only then it’s worse because after I build up a flat surface, it rotates a little bit and then the edge is all wrong.

      Full metall you say? Damnn.

      I didn’t know about this brand and now I have been pushed into extensive research of their whole lineup of mechanical pens.

      The 800 looks amazing but I’ve heard some people complaining about the nib being a bit wobbly, is that true in your experience?

        IIRC the 600 is pretty much the same pencil but with a non retractable tip. It might be better for you unless you carry it around.
