the 00/100 fineliner by David Verchick from usa

designer's own words:

IT’S PRETTY SATISFYING TO USE A PEN UNTIL IT’S EMPTY. THAT’S NEARLY TWO MILES OF DRAWING, WRITING, SWEARING AND HAND CRAMPING. THE 00/100 ADDS A SUBTLE DIAL TO THE TOP OF YOUR PEN SO YOU CAN ANTICIPATE THAT LITTLE MOMENT OF PRIDE.

The goal of the 00/100 pen is to make a tiny modification to something you are very familiar with to change your relationship with the object. Designers, writers and artists all know the satisfaction that comes with using a pen until it's dry (just going that long without losing it is an accomplishment in itself). The thought is that instead of your dry pen being a gratifying surprise, it can be a moment you look forward to, and a mark of how much you've completed - plus, you can make sure you have a backup pen on hand when it happens. I chose a fineliner over other types of pens, because it best reflects the care and precision that goes into our writing and drawing. The pen is made out of aluminum to reflect that professionalism, and the permanence of the material makes it less likely to be loaned then lost.
