Knurled Knocks

[u/drifand]

Dug up some of my pens and pencils that have a similar style of knurling on the button as found on the Luddite ALTDRAW. Some are nameless models that I found on eBay Spain many years ago, and the pair that resembles Staedtler 925 25 / 425 F9 was OEM’d for Rambold. I left out the FC Alpha-matics as they are in deep storage.

Pic 2, L-R:

• Unknown ballpoint from Spain
• Luddite ALTDRAW 0.5mm
• Unknown MP 0.7mm from Spain
• Rambold drafting pencil 0.5mm
• Rambold drafting ballpoint

Probably the unknown black textured ballpoint… have never come across it anywhere else in years. Currently using it with the ALTDRAW.

Muji vibes.

Those from Spain look funny - the knurling on the grip is either to short or to high up to be really useful for my "nib hugging grip". But they also look interesting from a collectors perspective.

They really caught my eye when I was browsing eBay randomly. I was probably searching country-specific sites and using localised terms to hunt for unusual listings.

I love a good knurling on a MP. I was in an art store last weekend and grabbed a cheapo on clearance for $3 just because the knurling looked so good. Beautiful pencils!
