Pelikan Souverän M600 vs rOtring 600

The band by the piston came all tarnished, too. :( I got an authorization to return it this week. This was a brand new pen… I was so excited to get the pen but was so disappointed. Also, for the price, the pen felt really cheap

I have average size hands (maybe a tad larger than average) for a guy and this pen feels tiny. So tiny it hurts my hand to write with for a while. Also, as others have stated, it clicks everytime you lift and place down because the cartridges do not have a good fit inside the pen. The actuall metal body build quality is very nice, but I will not be using it as it is uncomfortable to write with

4 - A nice looking acrylic doesn't mean you should be charging $180 for a pen without a clip. I know, it is small batch, handmade but still, would it kill you to put a nice clip on it? Birmingham Pens finally figured it out, let's hope it trickles down.

IMO the Rotring is too expensive at that price point. You can get a Rotring 600 for $30, which is practically the same pen without the retractable tip. I prefer to find pens with the LEAST amount of moving parts so there's a decreased risk of mechanical failure.

Smallest grip section ever! Omg. My hand cramped all the time. The length of the pen is comparable to the PGS, but it felt too short and too diminutive to grasp.

Great EDC choice. 5. Excellent knurled grip that does not bite the fingers when gripping. Cons: 1

It is lighter than I prefer and has a "plastic" feel. For the price, this is not what I expected. I have several heavier pens with metal in the body that were considerably cheaper. The service and communication were very good and the package arrived very promptly to regional Australia

It lacks heft, the clicking mechanism is spongy, overall it just isn’t the same. Do yourself a favour, scour eBay for an original, they were just better.

Good ink capacity, smooth and wet writer, nice balance with the cap posted. Very reliable with no skipping and seems to write forever on a fill. Great service from the US distributor (Chartpak) including free nib swap for a different size within first thirty days. Nice understated appearance

Get a Rotring 600 and you can use Uni Jetstream ink refills. Brass body on the Rotring and excellent ink if you like EF / F / write small

Lightweight, well built and smooth writing pen. Delivered fast and with minimal packaging. Very enjoyable writing implement!

I’ve owned a few of these over the years and they are straight to the point, (no pun intended) sturdy, reliable, comfortable and look sharp, not bulky at all, physically the same size as a disposable Bic pen. For the price, if you use a ballpoint pen for work regularly, this is probably the last pen you need to buy (as a normal not-flashy person)
