Rotring Tikky Series.

rotring Tikky

The Tikky was introduced in 1979. If you’ve looked at the rotring catalog links, you may have noticed they really milked the Tikky pencil design for innumerable models which differ from each other only slightly or not at all. I’ll try to put some order to the situation.

There have been three generations of Tikkys:

A first generation Tikky produced from 1979 to 1996.

A second generation Tikky produced from 1997 to 2007.

A third generation Tikky produced from 2008 to present.

Within the generations there have been an ever decreasing number of variations on the Tikky theme. There is the Tikky standard, Tikky special, Tikky automatic, Tikky double push, Tikky metallic, Tikky metallic double push and surely others. Then there are the non-Tikky Tikkys: the T, the TS slide, and others.
