So as I said when I started this blog, I also want to talk about the things I find that I find particularly cool and interesting but always things that still belong to the realm of pencils. I’ll call these posts geekeries, because well that’s what they are.
Today I’ll show you the Midori Multiple Ruler. I wasn’t aware of these transformer rulers, but I think they are pretty usefull because they fit into a normal pencil-case but can be extended. The Midori looks closed like a very pretty black (they exist in silver) 15 cm ruler.
But it can be unfolded to 30 cm. Isn’t that just brilliant! And it still looks gorgeous.
As a little plus you can unfold it by certain degrees, but there’s no click or so, you just have to try to get the desired angle, neat trick, but not very accurate.
As you can see there’s even an inch ruler hidden in the folded Midori and the first 5 cm also give guides for 0,5 mm. The unfolding feels really good, not too stiff, nor too loose, it exhales quality, although the ends of the rulers show the bare aluminium. Great geekery that already has its place in my oversized Dr.Ion.
My pencils draw worlds 
How is the build quality, especially the scale? I have a few metal rulers where the scales are printed and got of after a few uses.
Seems really good to me. About the wear: only time will tell, as I got it only recently. But I’ll keep an eye on that and post about it!
BTW Gunther, the Brunnen 10-49 780 you sent to me still rules! (pun intended).
I’ve been wondering about this ruler, thanks for posting about it.
I have never used any of the Midori products, but I’ve been seeing them more and more! I’m *this* close to buying a Midori brass bullet pencil from JetPens.
I just own the ruler, so I’m not sure about the quality of the bulletpen. But considering the quality of the ruler, I think you can’t be mistaken by getting it. By taking a look at their other products it seems they are all about brass.
the second ruler is not an inch ruler, but I’m still searching for it’s use.
It is, in fact, for measuring depth and height.
