I have one of these in black from Maratac. It's a great pen in the hand, feels solid and the knurling feels good to me. Non posting is not a problem, if I'm using the pen for any length of time, I just clip the cap to my shirt pocket. Pocket wear is evident after 6 months, but it sits next to an edc bundle of metallic tools (a griffin, leatherman squirt and a copper maratac aaa flashlight). I like the well used look, though others may not.
shard_incNo, this one is T6061 type 3 anodized aluminum (just like the one in the drop). It's light, but physically durable, despite the wearing off of the finish. I'd love a brass one.
