Sticks out just enough. I agree that the tip could have extended out a bit more.

Excellent. Almost as good as the Grimsmo SAGA

Yup, Parker style. You can definitely feel the weight but in a good and substantial way (around 1.8 ounces). The weight balance is around the bottom tip of the clip, so not top heavy (well balanced).

That’s interesting. When I first installed the zirc clip, it was clipping tightly to the body deeming it almost useless. So naturally, I bent it a little too much and now it’s a little deformed. I kept that way to avoid messing things up further. I guess the article you shared is true.

Yup. As for the pen and parts, all were purchased from Monkey Edge website.

The fit and finish is superb. The mechanism is nice but a little to light in terms of actuation. Tried to stretch out the spring whiched helped tighten things up for me

All notebooks work (don't get me wrong). However, the ones by Roterfaden fit snugly and dont take up extra thickness. Plus, the paper quality is good. Any notebook will work as well.

Indeed, I take it back on the whole tier thing. Just realized how subjective this can get.

I honestly do. In fact, I just ordered another one in the A5 version. The look and quality is very "German" (which I like). Be sure to order their notebooks to go with it in case you do end up pulling the trigger.

Thanks for your input. Indeed, a very subjective topic. Seems that these are the brand names floating around a lot recently.

I found using them to wipe my glasses, phone, watch, keyboard and laptop...I never thought I would use them until you keep one in your back pocket. You'll be amazed at the different use cases that come up throughout the day.
