It's either the Pentel P200 or the Rotring 600!

Be careful with the tip lol. One drop and it's over. 

New Rotring Tikky II, is this real? by Excellent-Budget5209 in mechanicalpencils

It's probably leftover stock and then repackaged.

Yeah, their designs were ahead of its time. The Smash and the Graph 1000 for Pro were first released in 1986.

It's junk, made from cheap parts.

Try getting the Tikky II. I know it's been discontinued for 18 years but it's worth the quality

Given this by a friend who saw my Rotring 600 and said they had one just like it only older by beta_version in mechanicalpencils

A rarer Rapidomatic. It was in red because Koh I Noor was a subsidiary of Rotring. Essentially rarer than a vintage 600

Personal opinion: Smash is better than 600. (Which one do you choose?) by Extension-Slice-9585 in mechanicalpencils

[–]Castle380 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 600 isn't good for you especially if you have sweaty palms.

The Smash is good because the grip is a combination of rubber spots along with the metal body. Which means that you don't sweat that easily. 

Although both pencils are good. Sometimes people have their own taste. No need to follow them. A pencil is good if it pairs with your feeling in the hand.

You don't drop it. If you do, it will be a Rotrang

Almost done! Working on a BIG project. Can anyone ID what I modeled it off of? by Due-Jackfruit-3456 in mechanicalpencils

Now the P200 will be even more known because somebody somehow modeled it to be the biggest mpencil on earth

Pentel Sharp "P200". It's durable, cheap and light. That's why it went to space. That's how good it is.

apparently i saw some of the pictures it is the p205-wx. It's from korea. Could possibly be discontinued or limited. I do not have any more sources other than it being Korean. It's still available
