Rotring 600 Grip Width


j.a.j.

Recommended Posts

I have been thinking about trying to find Rotring 600 pen. I have not found exact measurement of the grip width. Based on the pictures i have found it seems to be something around 9.5 mm on the middle of the knurled grip.

 

If anyone has one i would greatly appreciate this information!

Hi,

 

I don't have calipers to hand, so the best I can offer is a [parallax-free] scan of ye olde 600, and provide the nib-tip to barrel-end length - 126mm; and let you derive the width along section where you're likely grasp the pen.

 

Member JPS_Rotring has posted a 'Visual History', which may have more/better info : https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/248966-rotring-600-visual-guide/?p=2722807

 

As the 600 is a hefty pen, I prefer to grasp it rather high on the section, which positions the centre of mass closer to those fingers.

 

As I list the pens used in my Ink Reviews, and used to include a scan of those pens, it is possible to see the 600 hanging out with the usual suspects by trolling my content in that Forum using "rotring 600" as bait.

 

Bye,

S1

Here are measurements from my old style (knurled section) Rotring 600:
Very bottom of knurling: 8.3mm

Very top of knurling: 9.4mm

Length of knurling: 26.0mm

Thank you for the exact measurements!

 

It is maybe slightly too small for my large hands. Unfortunately. It is a really nice looking pen..

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
