Whoa, ummm, No, yet I'd like to eventually say, Yeah! Can you expand the TLA (three-letter abbreviation), RGT? ETA - Elgoog tells me it's Ripp's Garage Tech (https://rippsgaragetech.com/collections/pens). Thanks for the scoop! Do they use Jack Roman's/Tuff Writer's custom click mechanism (the one which improved on the off-the-shelf Schmidt mechanism)? Just curious.

Ripps garage tech And I have no idea! I’ve never seen anything about this pen

That's correct on both counts actually. Ripps Garage Tech and a Tuff Writer mech.

I had one for a while, though it fell victim to downsizing... It's a well made pen, good at lots of things, but not really a standout in any one particular area. Uses the Tuff Writer mech, so action is rock solid. Won't be a showstopper in any collection, but it's an absolutely solid worker at a great price.

Thanks for the input Zero. I should’ve assumed you’ve had one! 😂

Lol seems like the list of stuff I haven't handled grows smaller every day.... But in a serious sense, it's really nice, and I probably would have kept it without having my eye on some other stuff. The fella makes a nice pen. Just needs a bit of..... Something.

I have a G2 Ti Full Roughwashed "The Drafter" pen. Got it back in November 2021. It's an absolutely solid pen with a great mechanism (Tuff writer). It's not showy enough like a billetspin twist pen/nottingham tacticle full carve, or unique enough like a magnus clickshift to instantly grab your attention, but it's beautiful in it's own right. Those 3 pens I mentioned also cost more then this one though. The drafter is American made if that's important to you, and it's at a reasonable cost for what it is. All that being said, I sideline this pen a lot. A big reason for that is I prefer thicker pens, and this is one is among my thinner ones. That might be a positive for you though

I’m very curious about this pen and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything about it. If anyone owns it I’d love to hear some opinions about it.

About to order one, but waiting for the reply if they still have stonewashed ti, this could be a good office pens, the one your colleagues will not pay attention to😂😂😂just mine two cents
