I pretty much just swap out the two pencils. My current writing instruments.
(Odd seeing them in a display tray)
How’s the Skilcraft?
It’s great to see a Signo 207! Do you use the default refill?
I do, it’s 1.0 gel pen. It flows so consistently and dark. As you see with the scratches, I grab it often.
The skilcraft is awesome. It came in a pack of 3. I have one in my collection, one I’m using and the third is just in the pack sitting. If you want it and want to pay to ship it to you, I’ll give it to you.
How is the aviator? It’s Quite the rarity.
I’m going to be 100% honest…
The TK Matic is tough to beat between all of them. Preferably the L because it’s metal but the resin one just seems smoother
My opinion is the order of greatness is
-[1] TK Matic
-[2] Aviator
-[3] Alpha
Wait, is Aviator a double knock auto??
Also, since TK is ‘relatively’ cheap for how awesome it is, I would like to see more mods and customs with it. I am surprised how few I see. One I have never seen is the plating fully removed to reveal an all brass TK.
Double knock yes, the button releases the tip back in. But imo it’s just an extra bell or whistle on the already great TKMatic
But is it an auto advance?
If you count the tip needing to be pushed
I don’t have it in hand, I hope I’m not confusing it with the alpha now that you’re putting me on the spot.
I will have to give a fair review of it on Friday.
I can only say that I’ve had it about 2 months now and it wasn’t memorable enough to be confident in my responses
I love the TKMatic though. That and the Rotring Auto are awesome
Gotcha. It would be good news if the Aviator is an auto.
For Rotring, the LS Auto is a no frills, no fuss machine. The Altro Auto is not my cup of tea - too bulky and has the alpha-style writing tip.
I do wish Rotring had developed the 600G into a retractable auto instead of dumbing it down and calling it the 800.
It would because it would mean I didn’t use it enough to appreciate it.
The Tombow is so handsome!
I had been eyeing that tartan Platinum for a few days, you just made me buy it.
Dang
So it’s a double knock alpha
I’ll assess it as best I can tomorrow
Glad I am immune to it then.
