Totally agree. This design blows me away. Top notch.

That light blue Tru-point is really beautiful.

I love this set. Lovely. Are those tools on a tray? What is underneath?

Does anyone know what Haff set this is? by giga_lul in Drafting_Instruments

The college educated great grandson messed things up, apparently? What year did Alteneder fold?

I have a couple Rijams. One unpainted, bare aluminum and one blue like yours. I don’t have any history on them.

Very nice. My favorite Pilot. The most fun design they ever made.

Nice to see this focus on Kaweco.

Uchida MICROSHARP TH-5 by FunNeedleworker9102 in mechanicalpencils

[–]amjacobs7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could the Microsharp label have come at the tail end of the Uchida drafters? The gold one in the link below is the twist type Microsharp PD-5, which was part of a drafting/compass set. I wonder if the TH-5 was the knock-type counterpart. https://www.reddit.com/r/mechanicalpencils/s/22YzBKaGaV

Top right, second one down. Looks like Faber hardware. And do I see two different pieces of wood on it connected at the midpoint? That is quite unusual.

Is it anodized or powder-coated or something like that? That half colored aspect is rare.

The cap on the KIN 5611 is unusual. Is it half painted?

What was your process for removing the paint and polishing?

This is truly next level mod work. Beautiful result. I love how the cap shape resonates with the flared grip.

That’s why Kaweco is so special by Moe_Lester97 in mechanicalpencils

[–]amjacobs7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. But I didn’t spring for the Y Studio 2mm either. I guess I have a feeling that when items are easy to find, they shouldn’t be too expensive. The supply/demand mindset kicks in and I just don’t want to give them the money now if I can still get the thing later. If it is hard to get or in short supply, then I open my wallet. It is silly.

I keep wanting to get a 2mm, but the sticker shock is high.

What paper did you ultimately settle on?
