G10 is a composite material that's made by layering glass cloth soaked in epoxy. It's very popular in the EDC community for knife scales because it's light and durable but there are challenges to making it into pens. Specifically, it only comes in sheets and is extremely messy to machine. The natural (jade) color will slowly darken and patina over time while the OD Green should remain unchanged. Also, the texture is prominent right out of the box but will eventually smooth on the high-wear areas.

- CBCameron B.Verified BuyerReviewingG10 Bolt Action Pen Orange / Standard [5.6"]I recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars20 seconds agoTactile Turn makes the best pens.
As someone who actively seeks out American-made products, I can confidently say that Tactile Turn delivers on every level. The difference in craftsmanship is immediately noticeable the moment you hold one of their pens.
I'm now several pens deep into my collection, and each one reinforces why I keep coming back. The precision machining, the satisfying weight and balance, and the attention to detail are consistently exceptional. These aren't just writing instruments—they're thoughtfully engineered tools that get better with use.
If you appreciate quality manufacturing and products built to last, Tactile Turn is worth every penny.

Love this pen. Texturing, color and writing are all excellent . The fact that it’s an American company right here in Texas makes it that much better! I also recently purchased the Tactile Redhawk knife which I also love. Next purchase may be the Bear G10 in Orange to to make a sweet EDC pairing
I actually liked this pen so much that I purchased both the OR green and natural micarta pens online (Different website as the were sold out)

I use this pen on duty shifts as a volunteer at various events. I enjoy that it's a bit lighter but remains grippy under inclement weather, the slightly wider diameter does help with hand fatigue. I would recommend in the future to explore a ring top for the end cap in order to make it easier to put onto a lanyard. For now, I repurposed an old quick disconnect fob and it helps to keep track of it. It would be nice to have a different clip option as well, but from a functional standpoint, it's an excellent writing tool.

I didn´t have a chance to use the pen that much yet. However, I can immediately feel well made tool, when I have it in hand. And this is definitely the one - overall build quality is outstanding. I personally like the small grooves that enhance the handling. Key selling point for me was the design as well, really like the monochrome aesthetics.
I should mention that there was a mix up with my order delivery. But there was a quick reaction and immediate resolution. What can I say, your approach, earns my deep respect for the business, you have a loyal long-term client.

Like how well it grips and the fun bolt action. Worth noting that it's almost impossible to clean ink off it.
