Review: Lovely in the hand - Lovely pencil. Reassuringly weighty in your hand and the knurliing makes it easy to grip. Had this for a few months now and no problems so far.
Review: The ultimate mechanical pencil—Professional weight and precision - UPDATE January 2026: I’m redoing this review to emphasize that this is quite literally the best pencil I have ever written with. I’ve used many mechanical pencils over the years, but the rOtring 600 is in a league of its own. The first thing you notice is the weight; it’s heavy and feels incredibly high-quality in the hand. Despite the weight, it fits into the hand nicely and easily, making long writing or sketching sessions comfortable. It glides across the paper with zero friction. I have no faults to mention regarding its performance. The durability is top-notch—this is a professional tool, and that is exactly what you are paying for. My only advice is to wait for a deal, as it is absolutely worth the investment when the price drops.

## Features

- Full metal body providing ideal balance of weight and feeling
- Lead hardness grade indicator for rapid identification

- For precise ruler-based drawing, the sliding sleeve provides a high level of break resistance and an unimpeded view of the page

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the smallest length of lead it can use; i.e what length of lead is wasted on each lead length**
A: mine seems to be 1.5cm (15mm) and then it collapses the lead in. I was thinking it was faulty but checked back here and seems normal to have that experience with the pencil. My first mechanical pencil. Love this though,.

**Q: Can anyone advise if the inner workings of the pencil constructed of metal or plastic?**
A: its a mix of both from what i can see, TBH im not sure why you would want to take it that far apart.

**Q: Is the grip uncomfortable after extensive use? i have a uni kurutoga with a similar grip. it's super-grippy but a little painful after 30 minutes.**
A: Its very grippy and rough though ive gone for 90+ minutes without pain in my fingers, just in my hand from cramp. I would also advise buying the spare rubbers as the case for those fit the end of the pencil as a protector for the nib. Best pencil ive ever used.

**Q: Does it come with a case?**
A: No. Doesn't come with anything, except for a few leads already in the pencil.

Lovely pencil. Reassuringly weighty in your hand and the knurliing makes it easy to grip. Had this for a few months now and no problems so far.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic pen/pencil combo...
*by M***H on 3 May 2025*

I'd read quite a few reviews before deciding to buy the rOtring 600. It's a lot more expensive than the pens I usually buy, so price was a factor in my initial hesitation. The pen comes in simple, understated packaging. The small box also contains an instructional leaflet and a single (black) refill. It would be easy to miss the refill as it is taped to the underside of the sleeve holding the pen. The pen itself is an all metal body and looks to have been powder coated, or similar. There's a subtle, but useful, knurling around the barrel where you'd grip the pen while writing. It's extremely comfortable to hold and feels like it would survive whatever abuse you care to throw at it. Rotating the top of the pen releases one of three nibs...black ink, red ink and a 0.5mm mechanical pencil. The ink is smooth to write with and doesn't feel 'scratchy', which is especially noticeable to me as a lefty. The pencil is excellent too. To change refills, you pull the top of the pen, just above the pocket clip and the whole internal barrel can be removed. Each refill slides out of a tube and you simply slide the new one in. The pen takes standard D1 type refills. The pencil has one lead already fitted and two spares inside the tube. There are other things to be aware of with this pen. One is the weight. An all plastic pen will typically weigh around 8g. The rOtring 600 weighs 33g. It is heavy, so if this is an issue for you, it's probably not the best choice. Although there's a mechanical pencil built in, there's no eraser. I half hoped I'd be able to remove the cap to reveal a small eraser, as you can do with most mechanical pencils, but I guess the design didn't allow for that. If you are in the market for a decent quality 3 in 1 pen/pencil, you can't go wrong with this one. Provided you can justify the price.
