Any Pens Out There With Knurled Sections?

[PabloAU]

I actually stumbled across the Gist pen last night--very exciting! I may have to preorder a polycarbonate pen with the copper section and finial.... Now if only they offered black nibs... do you happen to know if they'll take a Monteverde nib?

 

Polycarbonate & copper is one of the combinations I went for. I love the way that copper ages like an old coin after only a few days of use. Copper is also slightly tacky, so should aid in gripping the pen compared to some other metals. The other I chose is an all-titanium, with a zirconium section to swap in. I haven't used zirconium before. It looks a bit slicker if the photos are anything to go by, but I expect that the ribbing will make it grippy enough for me.

 

I believe they use a Bock 250 (#6 equivalent) nib unit. I think the odds are good that a Monteverde #6 nib will fit the Bock collar & feed without modification.

The closest thing Tactile Turn has to a black nib is the Titanium nib

Damn. I couldn't chose between the Levenger and the Gist, so I ordered both. And to think this thread started out as some simple curiosity....

While not metal and not knurled, I always liked the ribbed sections on Sheaffer snorkels and TD pens.

Dang... I came to talk about my experience with the Leavenger L-Tech (I'm a fan-- I know I said the line is too bold, but I'm quickly getting used to it...), but I may end up ordering a bronze or brass Gist. Wowza!

I have a Rotring from the early '90s that has a knurled section that feels pretty comfortable to write with.

 

The rest of the pen balances a little funny: very heavy,long and narrow but the section is nice.

It feels rather like a drafting pencil.

Yo Lamy Studio + Sand paper = Boom

Used to never use the Studio because of it's chrome section, but now it's an every day carry.

Of course this modification doesn't make the section knurled but it serves the point of giving it a satisfactory grip.
