For a million years or more, humans and our early ancestors have used fire as a tool to keep warm, cook meals, provide light in darkness, and offer protection from predators. It's also the perfect excuse to gather together and burn a few marshmallows.
This Seasonal Release is an ode to Prometheus stealing fire from the Olympian gods and giving it to humanity. Alright... maybe that's a little dramatic. For the first time offering Cerakote paint on Bolt Action or Slim Bolt Action models, Ember is treated with a red-to-orange gradient on the body, yellow accents on the bolt and channel, and a subtle, metallic clear coat for some sparkle. Topping it off is a brown clip with a woodgrain, laser-engraved pattern to add some fuel to the proverbial fire.
Our main concern with using paint on the Bolt Action mechanism was chipping and discoloration so, to address this, we intentionally kept part of the bolt bare where it hits the channel. After months of carrying prototypes, experimentating with painting techniques, and countless actuations we're confident in the durability.
Ember will be available for purchase starting July 27, 2023 until September 28, 2023.

Fully Custom Cerakote Finishing
Cerakote is a thin coating of ceramic that we apply to the surface of titanium pens in our own paint shop. It's abrasion, chemical, temperature, and scratch resistance but not proof. Hard wear will still show on Cerakote but we love that it gives us the ability to put colors on our pens without adding any serious weight or thickness.
Available for a Limited Time Only
