Polygonal turning is a machining process where a multi-toothed cutter spins in sync with the spinning workpiece (see a great video example in the thumbnail gallery). By varying the phase and RPMs between the two, we’re able to create different geometric patterns on the outside diameter of the pen. Reminiscent of the infamous puzzle from the Da Vinci Code, Cryptex is the first pen in our Polygonal Collection. Both options are made from C630 bronze, with the Dark finish using our forced patina process accompanied by DLC coated hardware while the Bright finish is tumble polished and assembled with a bronze internal, titanium bolt and stainless clip.

I love all of my Tactile Turn pens. This one is no exception. The texture on the barrel is nice and grippy, making it easy to use in my shop. I enjoy the weight of it, also.

I really love the balance and feel of the brass Cryptex. I keep quite a few pens within reach to suit my mood and I've found myself reaching for this one quite a bit. It just feels very satisfying to write with!

This is the one I have been looking for. Ordered it, received it, used it, then immediately ordered more of them. "Highly Recommend" doesn't really cover it. Tactile Turn hit this one out of the park.
