Mostly the same, but different

Historically we've stuck with the idea, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" on the diameter of the pens. As a designer, it's impossible to keep everyone happy but the biggest request we've gotten over the past few years has been to make some slimmer pens (and pencils). So, now that we have more shop capacity, we figured why not do something about it!

Quality 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.

    My new favorite pen.

    I’ve been happy with everything that I’ve ordered from tactile turn. But this pen is just about perfect for me. It feels excellent in the hand the size and weight are spot on for my hand size. I have read some complaints from others about the action, but I’ve had no problem with anything that I’ve ordered and this one is incredibly smooth right out of the box. A couple other things I’ve heard mentioned are spring weight and pocket clip tension. If you find the spring, a little too stiff changing it out is no problem at all, but I think it’s quite comfortable. The pocket clip is tight, but I prefer it that way so I don’t have to worry about losing my pen as I carry it all day every day for work. I chose the titanium Damascus clip and bolt which is not necessary for functionality, but they are absolutely beautiful and in my opinion well worth it. Overall, I would definitely recommend this pen to anyone that wants to treat themselves to a high-quality EDC piece.
