Is that a mic?

I don't know. It's just a generic image of some nice knurling.

Looks like the grip area of a GraphicGear 500 mechanical pencil

>Pencil autism

>>913053

Unfortunately, you're wrong. It's the picture of the knurling on a Volere AA flashlight.

>>913060

I use montblanc not pencil bullshit

Knurling is ass. Everybody knows that turning is the best manufacturing process.

>>913061

ok mr autist don't forget your meds

>>913064

>implying

I use vintage Parkers or modern Pilots. Montblanc is ass. And by the way, Montblanc makes pencils too :^)

>Modern pilots

>Using a cuck writing utensil

>>913071

Fat Sharpies are trash for anything that isn't writing on glass. They bleed through everything and everyone knows how bad they smell. Sharpie pens are acceptable though.

Lel, if you only knew how simple the actual manufacturing process is, in comparison to real advaced stuff. But keep on dreaming. Also >>>/g/

>>913058

Why would you use a metal fleshlight?

>>913220

It's called minimalism, cuck. Simple but effective.

lmao you've never spent any time in a machine shop. Knurling doesn't even need good alignment to work.

Can you knurl hardened steel?

>tip breaks with a little force

>drools all over your paper if you forget it

Best in the 17th century maybe.

>>914089

Those scribbles don't seem to match that tip. This rustles me.

>>914118

>ink can block the stream

Not even sure what this is supposed to mean.

>dries when you leave it out

Don't leave it out. All tools should be cared for properly.

>need to use distilled cuck ink

More meaningless garbage, but congratulations on the 1,263,434,856th misuse of the word cuck this month.

>tip breaks with a little force

No, the stainless steel nib on my pen, tipped with osmiridium, does not break with a little force.

>drools all over your paper if you forget it

Don't forget it.

Your criticisms fall into three categories: incoherent, just plain wrong, and not a concern for people who aren't idiots. Given the latter, I understand your opposition to this type of pen.

Knurling isn't a production method. It has nothing to do with production. It's a surface treatment meant to produce a metal surface that is easier to grip than finely turned metal, and softer on your hand than roughly turned metal.

What the fuck do fountain pens have to do with knurling nigger?

>>914118

>i have only ever used disposable bics but here i will shit all over fountain pens because i've never used one

>>914089

>its not a keyboard

Cuck

>>914284

What even is that.a fancy checkers game

>>914285

To appropriately detail appreciate

>What even is that.a fancy checkers game

A horological masterpiece

>>914290

How so

>>914301

It looks nice, but what makes it a masterpiece

>>914302

If a Casio F91W can be called a "masterpiece" this effortlessly passes as one.

>what makes it a masterpiece

Engine turning, not knurling

my great uncle got an axe in pakistan from his time in the military, not sure really what he was doing in pakistan but whatever. so its an axe, with a wooden handle. its more of a decoration. the handle is knurled really well. wish I had a pic of the axe but I dont have it with me atm.

>>914308

ebin story, /b/rudder Xppp

>>914305

Engine turning is weebshit.

>>914305

Whats so great about engine tuning? It looks like tacky shit 99% of the time. Besides "engine turning" is a terrible term for this process.

Engine turning is purely aesthetic and offers no performance advantage to the turned piece. Knurling on the other hand, provides aesthetics and a much better surface feel.

>>912940 (OP)

I just imagined how much dirt and grease from someone's fat hands would it collect. ugh.
