We're excited to announce 7 models of Bolt Action Pens are available for limited release. Some are tried-and-true favorites like Titanium Damascus and Bead Blasted DLC but the rest are new materials, treatments, and combinations that didn't feel right keeping for ourselves.Everything in the Limited Releases Collection is exactly that – limited. Once they sell there's no guarantee when they'll be back since some of these materials are hard to come by so consider this fair warning that if you want one of them, better act quickly.Here's the rundown in no particular order: Bead Blasted DLC Titanium [ 127 available ] Titanium Damascus Tips & Tops [ 57 available ] Full Titanium Damascus [ 3 available ] Superconductor [ 6...
As everyone is asked to keep their social distance game on point, we are getting some much needed time to reevaluate aspects of our lives and the contents of our freezers. What really matters?

The X never sold all that well so I axed it pretty quickly and the other two eventually turned into our Bolt Action and Bolt Action Short models. Lately, however, we've gotten a lot of requests for a shortie pen so figured why not give X another try with the Bolt Action Mini!
Since they were first released in September 2016, the Slider and Glider Bolt Action Pens have been the core of our business. They've outsold all other models of pens in our lineup by a huge margin and, earlier this year, we began rethinking the design. The first priority was shortening the bolt action slot to improve the feel of the action by removing unnecessary carry.
