rOtring 600 Ballpoint Pen, Green Camouflage Barrel, 1.0mm Medium Point Refill, Black Ink for Writing, Drawing, Graphics and Calligraphy

Writing instruments can be very subjective. For me, this pen is immensely comfortable. It’s light but solid in hand, it has some heft but well balanced, beautifully machined brass with a very pretty and very dark green finish. The knurling for the fingers is grippy but not intrusive or uncomfortable. A mechanical and pleasant click is included as well. In just a few hours it has become my favorite pen in my modest, work horse oriented collection that includes common go-to’s like cross, multiple fisher’s, and even the trusty bic cristal. I did some research before purchasing the pen due to the complaints that the ink refill is lacking. It performs and lays down ink, it is also very smooth writing. However, it truly is lacking. I insist on a bold point and want a lot of ink on page while writing. After all it’s a ballpoint so even being left handed, smudging isn’t an issue for me with bold ballpoints. The research yielded an excellent result for me: Pelikan 337 Giant. I purchased one of the pelikan refills (bold, blue ink) when i purchased the pen and couldn’t be happier. It is identical in outside dimensions and drops in with zero issues. The pelikan 337 giant (bold) isn’t quite as bold as i would ideally prefer but i honestly don’t care. It’s a good unit, regardless. Don’t go with some Fisher-adapter-jerry-rigged nonsense. Shell out the ten bucks for the pelikan and be happy. It turns a great pen with a mediocre refill into an amazing complete package. 10/10

The combination of weight, balance and functional design makes for an excellent writing experience. Quality and heft feels great. Lovely to hold and write with, very comfortable! The ink is generally very good but doesn't always flow perfectly. Makes me curious to try some even higher quality ink. Used it today for taking notes during a few hours and my hand wasn't nearly as tired as with other pens!

Second to none, my new favourite daily carry pen

Ottima biro, acquistata in offerta (-40%circa), finiture eccellenti. Peso, bilanciatura, zigrinatura e materiali per me praticamente perfetti.

Duurder dan een Parker, goedkoper dan een Waterman. rOtring is natuurlijk een al sinds jaren gerenommeerd merk dat zich aan de tekentafel bewezen heeft. Deze balpen is duurzaam, schrijft zonder mankeren en wat voor mij persoonlijk belangrijk is, de inkt vloeit moeiteloos. Je hoeft alleen maar te sturen, dat is met een Parker wel anders.
