  This review is about lead size: 0.7 mm, colour: Black

  The writing feel here is truly amazing and rightly supports the title of the best mechanical pencil in the world. However, to tell the truth, their price is extremely high and makes it a writing tool that is mainly approached by professionals. In other words, there are pencils that offer the same feel and quality at 1/3 of the price, for example, from TWSBI.

  In summary: the best available but with a steep price.

  It's worth its money, you get one good product and you have it for a lifetime, just be careful with falls, the front tip is quite sensitive, and if it gets bent, you'll have an issue.

  Very good pencil. I wouldn't have bought it because it seems expensive, but I found it in a drawing studio that someone had forgotten and I have had it for many years since then. Every time the tip broke and bent, I straightened it out and it was like new. Overall, it's a dog, but I only write with this, too bad for anyone who cries over it but good for me.

  This review is about lead size: 0.7 mm, colour: Black

  Sturdy construction and extremely high quality. Perhaps the most classic in its category. I do not recommend it, due to its weight and tip, both for freehand drawing and for more linear types of design. Along with some from Kaweco and Caran d'Ache, I consider them to be the best.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  Very good and heavy pencil. The design is unbeatable. However, if it falls once, the tip bends directly. Perhaps the Pentel Graphgear 1000 would be more suitable if you want to use it outside the house.

  This review is about lead size: 0.7 mm, colour: Blue

  The Rotring 600, just like the 800 (which is essentially the same pencil with a retractable tip mechanism), is one of the three best mechanical pencils ever designed. It has the right weight for its category, good balance, a reliable tip advancement mechanism, satisfactory durability even with a soft tip, and ultimately, it's beautiful. In the category of metal mechanical pencils, it is the best option available on the market.

  Let me try to find something negative so that people don't think I'm biased towards Rotring (as if I were that lucky).

  Its only issue, which led to the creation of the 800, is that the exposed final metal part that holds the tip can bend if the pencil falls or gets hit. But why would anyone treat such a beautiful pencil like that? (and I answer myself:) For no reason.

  I have a black one, I don't even remember how many years I've had it. Okay, the coating has worn off a little, but you can only see it if you bring it close to your tip and - dare I say it - it gives it a slightly more vintage/used look. So I assume the same will happen with this gorgeous blue one or any other colored one. Is that a big deal? Not at all.

  Lastly, okay, this thing with erasers on mechanical pencils is like the saucer for coffee, you need them and you don't. In reality, they are just a soft intermediary between the tip container and the cap. In the old days, for hard-core linear work, we would remove the erasers from mechanical pencils and use cylinders made of serious erasers like Lauffer, T20, etc. Even then, they were rarely used. If you want to erase something, you have a serious eraser on the side, these erasers are for the times when you have it in your jacket and you really want to erase something on the sketch you made on the coaster.

  But on the other hand, its lines break. It has control over line thickness with a 2H, 3H for precise lines, and a HB, 2B for freehand drawing (just need to sharpen it a bit like a "fish").

  All in all, what I said before: one of the best mechanical pencils of all time.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  "One mechanical pencil to rule them all.

  Metal mechanical pencil for 0.5 leads, made in Germany. You enjoy writing with it, holding it, and admiring it. It has no comparison to any other (mechanical) pencil out there.

  Built like a tank. The hexagonal body prevents it from rolling on the desk. It features a rotating indicator to remember the hardness of the lead you have inserted.

  There is also the 800 series, which is more expensive, but the 600 series is the perfect balance between luxury, durability, and simplicity. Prefer it in black, the default color of rotring. I don't think silver suits it. One of my favorite things and definitely an essential office item. Unfortunately, it is only available in a few stores. Highly recommended without any reservations."
