First, design side, it is a masterpiece of aesthetics and machining work (the price is not for nothing): all metal, with no apparent trace of assembly. the pictures speak for itself. the whole is of a matt metal, sanded. (We are talking here of the black version). It does not take fingerprints because it is a metal "full" and we grainy to the touch.
The highlight is of course paramount. What is beautiful!
convenience, here are the total:
- The hexagonal body prevents the pencils rolling.
- The grip grid in metal, hangs well and is very nice.
- The Brass system that retract the tip inside is an exemplary strength: a "click" that triggers and locks opening, and closing, and although there is a spring system making him go alone after spending a notch.
The operation was performed by the "grip" and ring the top.
- Gum (you can find restocking in order on the site builder), although gum (yes, must say!) Although it does not replace the real effectiveness of a larger gum ... But it will fulfill its role in the vast majority of cases. It is very clearly crumbling without getting dirty. His cap is very long and well rooted.
- Finally, the weight of pencils has been designed to allow you to draw without ever having to force the hand (this is the reason of design, originally, not only for aesthetic reasons).
It is a masterpiece of writing.
Finally, the triangular case is particularly thick and strong. What the store for collectors like me!
Finally, I will make a comparison with the 800+ Rotring recently released, making stylus touch once the return point. He certainly this huge advantage for digital professionals. Otherwise ... We must admit that the design is less successful!
Sure it's an investment but it is light years ahead of other pencils ...
a final word good to know, not directly related to this particular product but the brand: Rotring offers a 2 year warranty on all products (with a purchase invoice course) if you ever encounter a problem in that amount of time!
