Do you think there is a noticeable difference in the way the small and medium feel and carry? I'm getting one to add to a pocket slip and I think the inch and a half length difference may be more significant to me than the improved handling of the medium.
OmniseedThere's a difference in handling as with the small there will be times when the clip gets in the way of your grip, but you can always rotate the pen. The small will probably fit your pocket slip better.
Just for clarification:
The small version fits D1 refills.
The medium version fits Parker style & Schmidt P8126 refills.
The large version fits Pilot G2 refills.
Price seems to vary by size, not color.
Hope that helps.
After using this at the busiest writing time of the year, study break, I can say that the Medium size has a very satisfying weight in the hand, which steadies it when drawing lines or diagrams. The build quality is excellent, some very fine machining went into this product. The bolt screw does loosen with normal use from the box, but I took a large flathead to it and gave it a good tighten and haven't had it loosen since. The cap and grip can loosen too, but again with some elbow grease I have made them so they don't slip during normal use. The Scmidt cartridge has a nice sharp point, and good ink flow, but ran out in about a week of writing.
pukekoIf you reach out to support@inventery.co I'd be happy to send over some ink refills, we're glad to hear you like the pen after testing it out in such an intensive writing setting.
Medium Brass pen arrived yesterday. Really happy with it. The Brass is gorgeous and the finish is super smooth.
Two things though: 1) The spring inside is way too strong. 2) The cutout path for the bolt needs to be deburred. There are some uncomfortably sharp edges along there.
Here it is along side my Copper Tactile Turn. The two really compliment one another.
glennacI felt same negative points too.
I replaced too strong spring with 70g spring for Cherry MX key switch.
Although the length of Cherry MX Spring is shorter than stock spring, it has just strength when stretched.
My google-fu fails me ... trying to find a nice comparison shot between the three sizes.
(found a lot of bolt action rifles though, after a few hits of various, mostly unrelated pen pictures)
The medium comes with the P8126, very popular. Besides that refill I would recommend the Schmidt 9000 easyflow -- kind of a ballpoint version which is very popular as well.
First impressions ...
I got the littlest one in Brass and the largest in Black.
*Very* precise machining. I like that. The threads, the surface, the clicker cutout, how everything lines up ... they are really serious about quality.
The refill has no wiggle. That's one of the things that drives me crazy with pens : when you put them to paper and there is just that little give as the tip of the refill moves around in the housing. None of that is happening here.
That thing is heavy :O and I do mean heavy.
The clicker is just too much fun. Trying to restrain myself not to play with it incessantly, as they warn us not to do that.
Pentel EnerGel refills don't quite fit the large one. It might be just a matter of cutting off a tiny bit at the top, but as is : I am unable to engage the clicker. Didn't spend any time on it but I will come back to this as I really like EnerGels.
Overall : good buy. The little one will make a good knockaround pen just to carry in my pants pocket and the large one as a desk pen.
EDIT: Cutting just a sliver off the top of the Energel made it compatible with the pen. If you try that, remember that you can always shave off just a tiny bit more, but you can't add it back. Unless you start messing with spacers.
openhelixI'd be cautious with those statements. Unless you can show some evidence who did do what when you may come across like a fanboy justifying purchasing a 200 pen that can be had for half that elsewhere. I got two of the Fellhoelter's bc they were cheap when he first started offering them at Kickstarter in 2012. By then I already owned maxmad.co pens. So, who is copying from whom?
