Retro Future Doppelgänger

My latest addition to my RINGRIP family. I’d love to know how Fisher came to license(?) the RINGRIP design from Mitsubishi back in the 80s. The refill in this bronze set is dated ‘87…

The FUTURA pencil tip may be shorter than the RINGRIP but it works just as well. Interestingly the clutch section is longer on the FUTURA, while at the same time, the FUTURA cannot be (easily) disassembled compared to the RINGRIP.

Yep, Fisher did a few variants with the Mitsubishi ring-grip. I have the gold one. But I really like this bronze color.
