Deal is back and cheaper than last time.

This is the pen version not mech pencil. If it's good enough for Jason Bourne It's good enough for me.

Silver also at decent price at $31.84

‘ The Rotring 600 ballpoint pen blends the iconic form of the 600 mechanical pencil with a smooth-writing ballpoint pen. Meant for a lifetime of use, the full-metal body provides ideal weight balance for fatigue-free writing and drawing. This premium pen is refillable and comes loaded with a high-quality metal refill. It also has a hexagonal shape so it doesn’t slide off your working table or writing space. The retractable design is convenient and airplane safe. Excellent for frequent writing, drawing and sketching.’

    What I'm looking for is a nice pen to fit in my compendium, but it's a tight squeeze. Currently I have a Parker Jotter that fits in it - would this be a similar girth?

    I really thought that there were 600 pens for $28.94. it's not misleading, but OP should include in the title just for one pen only.

      600 is the model but sure i'll add it

          how are $15 Birkenstock copies from Aldi different to $100 Birkenstocks from Germany ?
          They do the same thing but do feel different when you wear them
          just like fountain pen feels different to ballpoint which feels different to a roller ball which feels different to gel pen. The pens at work are crap …. the bic ones, I go to office works and buy gel ones from my own money ….. yep still write on paper and draw diagrams on paper at meetings.

          Just like a $1 pen feels different to a $10 pen although both write. Must say though have got some good free pens with corporate branding (parker jotters).

          • Eddie8 on 11/04/2022 - 13:46

            @garage sale: One of the best pens I’ve used was a RMS pen I got a couple years ago. I was honestly really surprised haha

        • abadacus on 11/04/2022 - 11:35

          Better ergonomics (biggest benefit)
          Then comes sense of pride in ownership, better writing experience, durability, less contribution to landfill etc.

          Same analogy can be applied to reasons for using a current model car vs 20 yesr old $500 commodore.

        • garage sale on 11/04/2022 - 11:26

          depends if you preffer ball-point, roller ball, gel or fountain pen feel when you write …. different prices, different feel when you write. Even the brand of refill makes a difference in the feel of how a pen writes.

          Got into the habit of using gel pens during exams, write faster and less pressure than ball-point pens, and when …. depends how much writing you do in a day.

    • henno on 11/04/2022 - 13:09

      I have spent orders of magnitude more than this on single pens.
      Pens are both a tool and a hobby, and I tend to buy them for both.

      The rOtring mechanical pencils in a 2B are a pleasure to use, if you have a daily use for such things.
      Expensive fountain pens are a pleasure to write with all day if you have a use for such things.

      If you don't, then 28 bucks is a lot in the same way that a DSLR camera is a lot compared to a phone camera when all you want to do is take the occasional photo of your cat for instagram.

      did you already use up your amazon trial?

      or else consider getting some parker refills/ lead for the mech pencil if they are on special. You will eventually need it.

      Im using Schmidt Easy Flow 9000 for this and its awesome. Sometimes I switch to Monteverge gels from time to time. Never a Parker because its too scratchy for me and the Rotring 600 is on the heavy side.

      • ltwo on 11/04/2022 - 11:41

        are these all universal fits? no issues buying refills from different brands?

        • JsonDough on 11/04/2022 - 12:02

          Has to be Parker-style G2 refills. Refills for space pens doesnt fit (without mod)

      • Jimothy Wongingtons on 11/04/2022 - 11:44

        I agree, the parker refills are 'scratchy' -
        I bought a 10 pack for $14. Hard to argue w/ price. But a pen like this I reckon would benefit from a nicer refill.
        They are currently a little over $17 from amazon UK

        rotring600 has a very fine knurling just where you grip it which I could see might irritate the skin depending on writing style/duration.

        • JsonDough on 11/04/2022 - 12:15

          Agree, its certainly not for everyone. I dont use it as my main pen due to the aggresive knurling and weight. Mainly use it for drawing (industrial).

    I'm a big fan of German and Japanese technical stationery and I have this pen - it's superb.

    The Rotring 600 series pens and pencils are some of my favourites. This pen has a thicker nib than I normally like but it just feels great in hand.

    Although Rotring is a German brand, this pen is made in Japan. This is a great price.

  • swings on 11/04/2022 - 14:30

    Great pen, got it last time it was on deal, the ink is labelled as rotring and is smoother than the one I got with the Parker Jotter (compatible refill).
    Very comfortable in the hand.
