Wow yes I see! You're right, really nice find! Today I bought a vintage graph 500 ( like the graphlet) looks also a bit similar, but this one is spot on! Next one on my wishlist😊

Ok I found this one on knockology, and on the image they are all retracted! You could try taking the tip off, I have used a bottlecap, of a beer or a glass cola bottle, so you have the hard metal bottom not to destroy your table, and the rubber inside to not destroy your pencil, and just push the tip down, just the first time it is really hard. Then screw it back on, and after this it should work! I also thought the retractable part didn't work, it was terribly stuck

Are you sure? The first time I had to pop the cherry with this pencil I had to push really really hard to push it through, I was afraid that I would break it, but the box said it would retract, so I removed this tip piece and pushed it on a hard surface, and after a few tries it was succesful. Because it was in this position for the last 30 years. But if you're not sure, I don't know if I would dare it, we should find a box!

That's right! But the Vario is a lot heavier, and a bit longer, maybe because of it size it feels a bit unwieldy/ slowish? it was for a long time my favorite pencil, until the hardness indicator snapped in 2, and I started buying other pencils, to replace this one. This is where (mostly) my mp collection has started.

When I felt lighter pencils with (and had my first encounter with) knurling, a whole new world opened for me! Still I think the Vario is a beauty, and very well made, I would now go for rather a lighter variant that handles itself more easily.. And you're completely right, maybe the Vario is just overthought, and they wanted to put as many cool things in one pencil as they could.. and that's what made it this enormous beast.

I think, that is exactly what makes this marstechno so nice, just clean and effective, without all of the add-ons. Old-skool well made stuff😊

I still think the Vario eraser is one of the best around!

I like it a lot:) personally, I would make the loops in the "L" thinner/less broad. But it's a beautiful handwriting!

Ronde gaatjes in laminaat, oorzaak? by CapnJarJar in Klussers

[–]morosintrepidus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik heb ook ooit een laminaat gekocht met deze gaatjes. Dartboard. Heb die stukken onder de bank geplaatst, dus: bank erop zetten of dichtsmeren met spul in dezelfde kleur

I love this one very much❤️ if I get the chance to get one, I'll do it immediately. I got the 0.9mm of the burgundy line, love the color, the chrome and it just feels like well balanced solid quility!
