I managed to get the mint green colorway without NONBLE on it and it looks really good. And… I’m happy to report that there are no cracks on the barrel. I used a high magnification loupe on it and everything looks perfect.

I’ve been on the hunt for a 600 in 0.9mm for 30 years give or take. I saw one in an Artworker in Brighton in the UK in the early 90s and lament being a poor student at the time, because I have never seen one since. It wasn’t my preferred lead width at that time so I didn’t pay it much thought until some time down the line. Since then I have discovered that they can also take a 1.0mm lead, but I cannot find one for sale. I feel like it’s a forgotten niche in the 600 line that, short of spending $300 on one on ebay, just isn’t going to happen.
Reading about various mods and Franken-pencils people have smashed together on here and reddit, I am considering it. I can’t stoop to a Red Circle, which I know has it, as a life-long rOtter I just cannot. Even if their “”“Pro”“” line is plastic trash.
