It weighs almost nothing, the anodizing holds color rather than wearing to bare metal, and it costs little enough that you stop worrying about where you set it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mechanism is not a cheaper version. It is the same bolt that goes into the titanium pens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Short\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHalf an inch does not sound like much until the pen is in a pocket rather than on a desk.
