NPD. The A.W Faber-Castell tk 9505 microlette

I loved my tk 9502 SO MUCH… the only thing that I disliked was its abrupt top/mini knock button. It killed the aesthetic for me… if only there was a matching MP that DIDNT shoot itself in the foot aesthetically…. Meet the tk9505!!!

Used for sure, put hits every level of “balance” the 9502 missed by a hair. I highly recommend….

Finding a 9515 is my next objective (under $100….)

Oh, come on! You’re telling me that I have to monitor Etsy as well these days? I don’t have enough waking hours for this, I need longer days… :frowning:

All of my A.W. Faber Castells:

(I’m surprised they did stick with the same shade of green)

Sidenote:::

If anyone is willing to trade a 0.3mm or a white and red version of this pilot for my bronze alphmatic. It is in PERFECT condition…. Please feel free to let me know.
Please let me know :D… I simply love this pilot. Stickers are irrelevant to me. As long as they function.


I look forward to a response :pray:

I wonder how much you’d hypothetically ask for yours on Ebay (after you find an original pocket clip)

another one for €125 + €15

You mean “crazy good”, or “crazy expensive” here? I skimmed the catalogue linked to the listing you posted, and while some figures seem to be more reasonable, others tend to be a bit on the price-y side, for me — especially when it comes to vintage drafting tools.

(Sorry, English is not my native language, and I struggle a lot with some shades of meaning when it comes to adjectives, phrasal verbs, and colloquial expressions.)

Expensive. The eBay ones too by the way.

eBay=$150

Etsy=$55 after tax

Etsy for the win :call_me_hand:

Damn, this is tempting. Don’t think I can part with one of my Pilots, tho :pensive:

Well damn, I was hoping you’d maybe have an extra or two :sweat_smile::smiling_face_with_tear:

I only have 3 of these—black, red, and white. I think blue and orange also exist :flushed:

I’ve heard the white is garbage…. Actually has a chemical in it that dissolves other MP’s over time…

IF I MUST, I’ll still accept it though, for original terms…. You can thank me later somehow… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

If that information fails to persuade you… would you care to trade for a Tombow Monotech 0.4mm?

A monothech 0.4mm is also acceptable. My bronze Alphamatic, fully functional.

Do please let me know :grin:

Or is it in inappropriate or me to post this here??
