I have an old Rotring 3 in 1 that is closest to their current 600/800 line with the stone body.  Haven't seen one like it in years.  Does anyone know the model number, I'll post up a pic soon.

You're putting me on the spot here :D

I forgot to add the Lamy Safari Mech. Pencil, but granted I don't carry that with me around because I ran outta space in my case. (huehuehuehue)

But I would go for the Lamy as #1, then the Staedtler and GraphGear tied for #2, followed by the Kugu and Shift tied at 3rd.

Keep in mind that all of those pencils come with a tiny eraser, so you'll want to get a nice eraser as well. Pretty much any one from JetPen will do fine.

Rotring 600/800

I haven't tried the 800, but the 600 is smooth indeed. However, the price point for a single drafting pencil was no bueno.

And awesome titanium pen you got there!

thanks i own the 800 and love it and i bought a friend the 600 for graduation

I bought the Ti2 because it looked well designed and the black edition looked like it would go well with my 800. here is a pic that much closer to its true color:

I recently purchased a Rotring 600 and an Ohto Tasche Needle Point, both are working very well so far. I'm left handed, and the Ohto's ink dries very quickly, but the pen might be a little too light for my taste - hopefully I'll get used to it. The Rotring on the other hand may be too heavy for most people, but I like that it has a "swing".

Not sure if this brand will be easy to find, but I use stainless steel 12" ruler made by "Harima". Picked it up in Japan sometime ago. It also doubles as a self-defense weapon :p

Yea I pretty use that every day!

What happened to it? I recently had to use mine to release a jammed parking break in a car and it still works like a champ.

However with the MontBlanc mod, there is a bit of play with it.

I am very picky about the type of pen I use
Either a Zebra F301- because of its stainless steel construction, while still maintaining a light and flowy writing experience
Or a Pentel Energel- These are truly awesome, I would recommend them to anyone

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between the Pentel Graphgear 1000 drafting pencil versus the Pentel Graph 1000 drafting pencil? They both look awesome.

The Graphgear has a retractable lead pipe unlike the Graph 1000, making it more pocket friendly. However, I've had the Graph 1000 for about 4.5 years now and the pipe has never bent, although I handle it just like any other pencil. My friend has a Graphgear and I feel as though the extra mechanism and spring affect the weight balancing of the pencil.

When it comes to pens I like to use the Sharpie Pens with the fine point. 

Only problem is my girlfriend always takes them.  If I go upstairs to her desk in her pen cup I always see a ton of my pens!
