Leuchtturm1917 Drehgriffel Monocle version | Bad Unbox + First Impression

An irreverent update to an old tradition: Bad Unboxing.
Slippery and heavy, this pen seemed good for the first 6-12 months. Then it dropped straight down on the tip on a laminate floor and broke the twist mechanism. Seems a cheap way to lose a pen with a not cheap price.

I have the blue pen and yellow pencil. They are great for travel.

The tip on the normal ones aren’t plastic. I dropped mine on gravel and it scratched the paint off, revealing brass . . .

Interesting. That makes sense from a manufacturing standpoint. Thanks for sharing this!
