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.
Titanium
Titanium is the best selling material we work with. It's tough, lightweight, and extremely corrosion resistant. If this is your first Tactile Turn pen, we recommend starting with titanium
Copper
Copper has natural antimicrobial properties and, because we don't coat any of our pens, they will patina and darken with time and use. Like many customers, we love a good patina.
Bronze
Bronze is an alloy consisting mostly of copper, tin, and other metals like aluminum, manganese, nickel, or zinc. It machines beautifully and looks great when it has some patina.
Zirconium
Only a fraction of the world's zircon is converted to the metal, making it the most expensive. The lustrous, grey-white metal closely resembles hafnium and, to a lesser extent, titanium.
We make everything in our Texas machine shop and never compromise on quality.
Add a Titanium Damascus Bolt
Titanium Damascus is different alloys of titanium that are forged together and twisted to create a cool pattern. After they are machined, we heat them to bring out the pattern. Every bolt is unique, each one having variations from the next.
