One pen to rule them all...

The unique bolt action shape allows for one fluid motion to advance or retract the refill. Because the surfaces of both the interior part and the inside surface have been carefully machined to be extra smooth, the action feels amazingly satisfying. If there's one pen that we recommend to new customers, it's the Bolt Action.

Made from the finest materials

And there are four options to choose from: titanium, copper, bronze, and zirconium. We picked those four because they're popular, fun to machine, and can withstand a lifetime of use.

TITANIUM

Tough, lightweight, extremely corrosion resistant, and the best-selling material we work with. If this is your first Tactile Turn product, we recommend starting with titanium.

COPPER

One of the few metallic elements with a natural color other than gray or silver. Naturally antimicrobial, copper will patina and darken with time and use.

BRONZE

Consisting mostly of copper, tin, and other metals like aluminum, manganese, nickel, or zinc. Bronze machines beautifully and looks great when highly polished or with some patina.

ZIRCONIUM

Directly below titanium on the periodic table with similar corrosion resistance. Zirconium is difficult to machine and one of the most expensive materials we work with but lustrous, dark grey color looks amazing.

Designed to last forever

Everything we sell comes with a Lifetime Warranty because we believe tools should be carried, used, and trusted to last. If something unexpected goes wrong, let us know and we'll make it right.

    Great company

    The pen was perfectly made and the engraving came out great! It also was delivered faster than I had anticipated. Great company! This is the second pen I have purchased and I may even get another for my brother.

    A Game Changer

    I am so happy with my purchase of the full-size Bolt Action Pen. The textured body gives it the perfect grip in all situations and the weight and balance ensure it writes like a dream. I am looking forward to exploring different pen refill options, but am very impressed by the smooth writing and dark black ink from the provided refill.

    The Bolt Action itself is novel to me, but required essentially no time to become second nature as a mechanism. The clip is exceptionally robust and I like that it carries so deeply in pocket.

    Now I might need to invest in a different material option to have some variety. The ceramic is quite compelling both for its weight and robustness.

    All in all a perfect product. I can see why Tactile Turn has earned so much hype. You make a damned fine product with a truly unique texture that helps even slippery fingered fools like me write better.

    Favourite Pen!

    I've got a ton of pens and Tactile Turn are consistently among the best. I love the titanium bolt action pen, and this time around ordered it as a gift for my brother, because it's my favourite pen.
