Rotring Tikky goes beyond being simply a mechanical pencil, it is a true symbol of precision, reliability, and functional design. First introduced in 1979, it quickly became one of the most recognizable writing instruments ever created by the German manufacturer, appreciated worldwide for its comfort and durability.

Over the decades, Tikky has evolved through new generations, colors and refined details, while preserving the character that made it legendary. Its balanced ergonomic shape, distinctive metallic blue finish, and practical engineering make it equally at home in classrooms, studios, offices, and creative spaces.

Crafted with a lightweight ABS body with metalic color, chrome-plated metal accents and rOtring’s precision brass lead mechanism and replaceable eraser, the Tikky Retro series delivers the dependable performance that made the original Tikky a favorite among generations of architects, engineers, designers and students. Retaining the iconic ribbed grip and unmistakable silhouette of the classic late-1970s design, the Retro collection blends nostalgic character with modern everyday usability. Lightweight, functional and instantly recognizable, it remains one of the defining symbols in the history of technical writing instruments and German industrial design.

Zoom 727

I was very lucky to find a Zoom 727 with Pen Venture. It’s similar to the iconic 707 but it’s slightly larger form makes it more usable for daily use. It’s none the worse for that and scooped an if Design award in 2004. Bizarrely, it’s discontinued now! Get it while you can from Pen Venture. My thanks to them for their great service.

Quark, xf

Skipped so much I had to replace the nib unit with parts from my storage. Quite disappointing. The cap now screws on, I preferred the slip cap. It's faster. It's working now but I won't be spending any more money on gravitas.

The Vac 2

The Vac 2 is a refinement of both the Monster and the previous Gravitas vac fillers. This is a very robust, beautifully balanced writer that will bring pleasure to even the most particular purchaser. The filling system holds just the right quantity of ink. Long writing sessions are a breeze without the risk of having ink sit in the pen for extended periods. I have used this pen extensively since it arrived and have found it to be consistent and reliable. The nib is smooth and flows evenly with the lightest of touches. I prefer this pen over the monster because of its size and balance. The Vac 2 becomes an extension of my hand, allowing me to forget its presence and locus entirely, focusing on what I am writing.

Excellent service. Love the pen. Thank you.

Substantial, reliable, and smooth

The Gravitas Vac 2.0 is an amazing tool for handwriting. The nib is smooth, distinct, and reliable, and it has some weight due to its durable materials, black aluminium/aluminum and ultem, the perfect combination of a tool which will survive most of us, still functioning if the internal vacuum piston system is cared for. I have enjoyed this fountain pen for seven days and I am pleased to say it is one of my better ones, and it is fun to use. I recommend it.

(Emy was correct: The nib has great flow, about six drops of ink will automatically flow from the nib after I have just filled it, after that no problems; tissue paper or the ink bottle under the nib until that happens is recommended, other than that: an excellent fountain pen.)
