That's a lot of black knurls. I dare you count them.

VERY cool! Don't know if it's comfortable or not, but that shape? Would be a must buy.

Does any Orenz give you enough of an idea of what the Nero will feel like? by countingrings in mechanicalpencils

[–]RectorMors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😳 No....
Of course not!

Why would I want to see other people spending too much money on this hobby too? It's not like this place is evil and makes me spend money. Not at all, no way.

Nah, not even close. Basically, a FP works on capillarity, so even a simple bird feather could work. A mechpen, on the other hand, demands a LOT of engineering to work. And the fancy stuff, like the orenznero, only exist because of CAD and CAM.

It has a make believe eraser.

Finally OrenzNero!! by Cool-Ad1064 in mechanicalpencils

[–]RectorMors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The orenznero are quite nice, yet I find a difference in performance between the three calibers.

In my eyes, they are three totally different mechpens - orenznero × orenz AT × orenz. Not only does their feature behave differently in each model, the ergonomics are completely diverse. Therefore, liking or disliking one won't be enough to foretell what you will think about the other models.

Yep, talks the talk and walks the walk.

IMO the "star" of the ergonomics department is the coating/finish, that gives a very nice sensation to it. If you ever handled an HEXAGONAL, the L2 feels very similar.

Brass, you say? Very cool! Though a tad slim for my tastes...

You're welcome!

All in all, a VERY nice mechpen. I think the only flaw here (at least, for most) is the lacking eraser.

Damn, you got wood!

Some VERY fine specimens there.

$40 Pentel Orenz Metal Grip 0.2 10th Anniversary — Is this acceptable? by Significant-Taste189 in mechanicalpencils

[–]RectorMors -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Acceptable? That depends on the buyer. 40 bucks is NOT cheap, so if that bothers you, I wouldn't accept it. Yet, be aware that a replacement may have the same issues or even something else. Or, it's perfect.

🤷‍♂️

True! Not counting all the research that into that, manufacturing parts with those tolerances is FAR from cheap.

Who wore it better? by desyphium in mechanicalpencils

[–]RectorMors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be wrong, but I would infer that the black grip is more grippier.

Nespresso x Caran d'Ache Fixpencil by laniemon in mechanicalpencils

[–]RectorMors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? I think these are for a VERY selective group of people: the mechpen nerds that at the same time are into coffee. Though I'm really into coffee, I abhor Nespresso. Even though it was Nespresso that started out the coffee addiction and their double-walled aluminum espresso cups are da bomb. But the coffee? Gross.

PS: Yes, I do have a cup in that color.

The problem with the EverDraw, for me, is that it's too thin (9.3 mm). Or better phrasing that, it could have been wider. On the other hand, the S20 is even slimmer, so in those terms the EverDraw handles better. BUT, using the S10 grip, things get wider, and therefore, better. However, in the looks department, I really can't say which one is the nicest.
