@@ichirofakename I have the Rotring 600 3in1 beside me right now, but I don't have the straight pencil version. I actually prefer the Pilot S10 or Pentel GraphGear 500/1000 pencils for their ergonomics.
Like you, I have two of these for artwork. The pen has similar dimensions to a pencil and the light weight makes it enjoyable to use when sketching. As well as the Schmidt K5 you mentioned, it will take a slim converter made for the Faber-Castell Ambition fountain pen. Some other Standard International converters may be too wide for the barrel. Thanks for the review Michael.
I think my pen has a defective nib. It's easily the scratchiest nib I own, and it actually has a bit of flex to it. I'm considering replacing it with a Bock 180. As a con, I think it's fiddly to post and cap. Somehow, that groove in the cap just doesn't go in smoothly when posting, and I find the cap binds when capping it. It's not one of my favorite pens by a long shot, but I imagine a different nib would make it more suitable for me.
Understandable! I infact ordered one and got a super unacceptable scratchy nib, ink flow wasn't good on that too, ended up returning it! Then later one day I got one from the muji store itself and this one is soooo good, inkflow is beautiful, isn't scratchy at all compared to previous pen. So I believe that the nibs on this pen is not fairly consistent across. Don't believe that this comment is anyway helpful, but just sharing my experience :)
@@akashsrivastava60 It's helpful because it's always good to have people share their experiences. I plan on replacing the nib in mine with a Bock 180 someday.
It's good overall, I have a few of these. Inks flows super well. There is decent feedback but 1micron paper will smooth out easily. One observation: I found the grip section to be too slippery. Strangely the grip section is more slippery than the non-textured section.
1. I prefer drawing with slender, metal, cylindrical pens, including this Muji. Others include the Faber-Castell Neo Slim, the Lamy CP1, the TiLiner, and the Meister By Point Slim Liner. All of them can be choked way up on at the same diameter. I did a little testing and found that this shape made my brain the most confident and my hand the most steady. 2. I speculate that a very heavy pen's inertia would add to hand steadiness. Maybe someday I'll buy something like the Y-Studio solid copper pen to see if it's true.

Being a fan of mechanical drafting pencils I have positive feelings for anything with a knurled grip, plus it just looks cool.
Did somebody say Rotring 600? I love the pencil, wish I could afford the old pen of the same name.

What do you mean when you say the paper will "smooth out"?
@@ghfsdt makes the nib smooth and not scratchy
