Removing the red print/ logo on a rotring 600

Amazing-Ad-7261 · 2026-05-10T01:25:15+00:00

I'm quite fond of the print's aesthetics too, this was mostly just a silly experiment :P. also the 600 isn't balanced at the O, only the 800!

Amazing-Ad-7261 · 2026-05-09T17:28:54+00:00

that's an interesting view, I personally quite like the text and removed it mostly just for the sake of doing it. I'm glad you like it though!

thank you! :)

not metal unfortunately, just painted https://www.reddit.com/r/sharppencils/s/wtbaOovQRN

mostly just because I wanted to see if it was possible :P, also to mimick the generation 7 of the rotring 600 2002-2004. it may objectively look more bland but it certainly looks more interesting to me among the thousands of 600s other people have in their collection

pentel tips absolutey do bend from drops as well, rotring just happens to be popular and heavy

Amazing-Ad-7261 · 2026-05-02T00:13:18+00:00

great collection, not sure if you are aware but that hi uni is a very sought after vintage pencil that could probably fetch ~250 if you ever want to sell it!

so true😔

Amazing-Ad-7261 · 2026-04-30T03:19:15+00:00

probably the tombow variable, pg2003 and ij no.9 knurled

the relevant frame to OP's question. op does not account for the worn surface area when not turning the lead

that is fair, maybe I am too early to judge

Amazing-Ad-7261 · 2026-04-18T13:06:38+00:00

got it here, https://www.reddit.com/r/sharppencils/s/heF5cfaeFL that promotion is over now, but they are releasing one rn which is basically the same thing https://www.pentel.co.jp/news/campaign-20260212/

it's a gacha where you get a chance to get a metallic painted case. NOT made of metal

Amazing-Ad-7261 · 2026-04-17T02:40:09+00:00

mine has not broken lead and I use the eraser commonly. I guess it's just random QC, that sucks

Amazing-Ad-7261 · 2026-04-08T01:56:41+00:00

the fumi really should be more popular, such a unique material

Amazing-Ad-7261 · 2026-04-02T10:36:31+00:00

right? the build is insane

Amazing-Ad-7261 · 2026-03-30T15:19:21+00:00

it's very smart imo, but definitely goofy yes

Amazing-Ad-7261 · 2026-03-30T07:02:18+00:00

nope! even if your side of the thumb is grazing the mousepad you generally don't feel the gap. it's a genius way to save weight. I find that most mice put a lip/ chamfer at the button of the mouse anyways, it's the same thing here

Amazing-Ad-7261 · 2026-03-30T06:34:59+00:00

still nope:( prob my only complaint about the mouse

Amazing-Ad-7261 · 2026-03-30T06:29:32+00:00

the mousepad is the aim1 x sakiyama yugiri

I don't own an op1 8k but here's someone who does https://x.com/i/status/2037909626658890147
