The Rotring 300 is an entry-level mechanical pencil. It often sells for under $10 and closely resembles the design — but not the build quality — of the iconic Rotring 600. The
Rotring 300 has an entirely plastic body and grip.
The Rotring 300 looks the part of a top end drafting pencil, with the hardness indicator and eraser window in the button, but it’s extremely light and can’t be fully disassembled. This really makes it more of a student pencil, which isn’t a bad, thing, but it’s not quite professional grade.
