What's in the box
The rOtring 600 is a sleek, metal mechanical pencil built with precision and convenience in mind. Designed with the rOtring brass mechanism for precision lead advancement, and a fixed lead guidance sleeve to prevent break and offer an unimpeded view of the page for precise ruler—based drawing. The hexagonal barrel ensures fatigue-free writing and drawing, and prevents the pencil from sliding when laid on surfaces. The non-slip metal knurled grip makes sure that the pencil remains safely in hand so there are no accidental slips. There is a built in erase under the push-button cap for quick erasing, to ensure mistakes aren’t permanent.

Mmmmm Darth Vader-y......
A Thing Of Beauty:The Rotring 600 0.5mm....:::::: U P D A T E - Y E A R T W O ::::::....I love the Rotring 600 so much, I am actually updating a review. I don't think that I've ever done that. Anyway, my initial 5 star review was a glowing, no doubt about it, buy this pencil now type of review. Well after 2 years of literal daily use it still looks new (check the pic, i put an updated one out there). Along with my AIN Stein 4B (Mmmmm Dark and soft...) lead, this pencil has been amazingly consistent. It's never had a lead jam. The tip is still straight (I have been extremely careful too.) There is nothing negative that I could say about this pencil. Multiple Pentel Graphgears, Kuru Toga's and even an Alvin Draftmatic all tried their best to unseat King Rotring. All failed. There are very few sure things in this world. But I know what to expect when I pick up the 600....[original review]Finally got my Rotring 600 0.5mm. With all the problems that I’ve read about with the Rotring 800+, it seems that the 600 is the way to go. Before the Rotring arrived, the Pentel Graph Gear 1000 was my current favorite pencil that I own. On its arrival, the Rotring delegated it to 2nd place before I could even get the pencil completely out of its box (excellent packaging, is just one of many "little things" this product gets right) .It is everything that I hoped it would be. The Black Rotring 600 is easily to coolest looking mech pencil out there. It has an ominous Darth Vader-y feeling to it. To say it’s solidly built is an understatement. Quality German industrial design and construction. You think it looks good though, its performance is even better. The balance is PERFECT for my writing style. It feels so much better than anything else that I have tried before. No wobble at all in the tip. A nice crisp, audible click for lead extension. Signs of good craftsmanship are noted sometimes by the little, almost unnoticed aspects of design. Like the 600’s lead grade indicator. It would be fine if this were just a part of the pencil that indicated the type of lead inside the pencil. But the Rotring takes it a step further making this portion of the pencil knurled metal (same as the grip employs) and tops it like a cherry with its iconic red ring "logo". So yes, it's a lead grade indicator... A lead grade indicator WITH STYLE! Is this a requirement? Certainly not, but it’s these little touches that make me appreciate the thought and care that went into this pencils design.I’m not going to get into a bulleted list of pro's and con's, simply because there are no cons. I can't find one thing negative about this product. I love the reviews that say "the non-retractable tip is fragile" and then proceed to ding it a star. I'm sorry, but it's obvious that this is a finely engineered product, a certain amount of care is required. Because you are careless enough to drop it is not Rotrings fault. Take proper care, and your tip won't get bent. Simple. (Of course, I have now jinxed myself so that by the end of the day, I’m fairly certain that I will have dropped mine by days end). In such cases, it’s comforting to know you can get a replacement tip for around 11 bucks. Other people say, "The eraser is crappy". Guess what Skippy, every eraser in every mechanical pencil sucks. EVERY one. If you use a mechanical pencil without having a dedicated eraser at the ready (my personal fav is the Uniball Boxy, it's also very Darth Vader-y) you won't using mechanical pencils for much longer. It's just something that you have to do when using a mechanical pencil.Bottom line. While the Rotring 600 0.5mm is a very expensive pencil. It's worth every penny in my opinion. I can't say it any better than the Bolo product description does:"An iconic tool, meant for a lifetime of use."Now I need to grab the silver one so I have a pair right??....
This pencil is not mid.
Excellent mechanical pencil. It's heavy and feels substantial in hand, which I find helps with writing / note taking. Be careful of drops, since that weight could be a disadvantage if dropped directly on the point. I have others - Pentels (several models), and Uni Togas and those are fine - but they are very light in comparison to this model. This one lets me write longer with less fatigue - in short it makes the writing more enjoyable. Well worth the price to me. The leads are quality too - though I will probably refill with Pentel Ain .5 2B. Cons - well, dropping it could be a problem. The leads are held in by the eraser, which is pretty common. A little pricey for a pencil so if you tend to lose them, maybe consider that.
Precision Perfection
This is absolutely the best mechanical pencil I have ever written with. I have many, many, mechanical pencils, as this is a hobby of mine. This is my favorite to use in most situations.The barrel is made of high quality, enameled brass, and is a high quality, professional grade instrument.PROs:- Superior quality. It is so pleasurable to write with. It feels amazing in-hand.- Precision and line co trol are unmatched, with longer lead sleeve and fantastic, knurled grip.- The click action is rock-solid with no play or slip. Perfection.CONS:- The lead sleeve is NOT retractable, and would bend/snap if dropped on its tip. Not likely repairable.- This lack of a retracting point and subsequent risk of breakage if dropped makes it less ideal for every day/pocket carry. I tend to leave it at my desk.OVERALL: I love this pencil and would buy another one if this one were lost or broken. It's just that good. Drop the $20, buy some 2B or 3B leads and never look back.
Marvel of Design and Engineering
Words can not even begin to describe just how beautiful this is, you would not think something as mundane as a mechanical pencil could make your jaw drop in awe, but this sure does.I wasn't sure if I would be as blown away on first impressions as many of the other reviews implied, but as soon as I opened the Bolo envelope and saw the packaging I was in love. Very, *very* few products can completely amaze you before you even open the box it comes in, but I almost did not want to open it. Sure it is just a paper triangle, but the finish and printing is impeccable, everything is flawlessly aligned and the ink is raised for that incredible high quality feel. Opening the box you are greeted by two leaflets detailing the other rOtring models and a short paragraph in German with the history of the company.After you lift up the pencil you receive the same text in English and simply do not want to set it down. Looking over it as closely as I can, there is not a single imperfection that I can complain about. The lead grade indicator being knurled metal like the grip is also simply an amazing detail. Hell, the eraser cap is made of metal as well, almost any other company would make it out of plastic to save a few pennies, but it even has the same sparkly black finish to it and just resonates with beauty.Even the eraser retainer is made of metal, and unscrewing it and opening it up you find that quite a bit of the internals are made of metal as well. It is genuinely a marvel to behold.I purchased a Pentel GraphGear 1000 at the same time, and while it is a very nice pencil on its own, it just is not even in the same league. The rOtring just makes all of its small imperfections you would not otherwise notice standout like a sore thumb.This pencil just speaks volumes towards good engineering and design. Just because something is highly functional and well built does not mean it can not be absolutely gorgeous as well, I want to go back and lower everything else I've rated 5 stars down just because nothing can compare to the perfection that this is. Does spending over $20 on a mechanical pencil sound insane? It did before I held this in my hand, and I would pay double and still feel as though that were too cheap.
