Pros & Cons
Pros
The twisting mechanism works perfectly with good feedback to indicate when the pen is deployed/retracted. I'm not a huge fan of the gold/brass metal trim (i'm more of a silver/steel guy), but that's personal preference.
Overall, this pen looks and feels like a $50 pen, though some may not like the industrial aesthetic. The writing experience is excellent, and i haven't had issues with fatigue when writing.
The pen uses standard parker-style refills which are easy to find. Comes with a decent ink cartridge. The refill is nice and smooth, and leaves an excellent black line.
Action/retraction is smooth and precise. The whole tip retracts into the pen’s body for safe keeping. A thumb mechanism for retracting the pen would be more convenient.
Cons
Rotring 800 pen action is not smooth and just snaps. Also ink is old and faded. There is railroading when ink is applied to paper.

Price

Competitiveness

The ink does dry out pretty easily but that’s a separate review from the pen itself

The pen is pretty neat to have in a set with my pencil but there is just somthing about the pen that isnt as sharp asthetically as the pencil

Im hoping changing the refill to a finer point will give it the extra zing i was hoping for

I like the look when i wears in a way but it isnt like i am putting it through a lot of force to chip and rhe grip wears feom hand usage to the brass underneath

The back part of the pen that you have to twist is loose
