Normally, yes. We tend to stick with materials like titanium, copper, and bronze because of their toughness and corrosion resistance. Ultem, however has high mechanical strength and heat resistance which makes it ideal for harsh environments. Natural and Black are easy to find but additional colors is rare. Thankfully, we were finally able to get our hands on a special run of opaque Green and Blue from a mill that had a small batch left over.

Introducing New Colors
Colored Ultem has been on our wish list since the day we first introduced the material to our lineup but the answer from suppliers and mills has always been the same: material small enough to make pens is rare and the only way to get it is to custom order a GIANT production run of a single color. That is, until our distributor was able to secure some leftover material from a mill that had just finished a large run and had some leftover. The colors are opaque like the black material and it might be years until we get more.

This Ultem Bolt Action Pen is seriously impressive. The Ultem material feels both lightweight and tough—definitely a great example of how custom plastic fabrication can deliver high performance and precision. The bolt action is smooth and satisfying, and the build quality is top-notch. Love the minimalist design too!

Looks great.
Weight is light--good or bad? both in terms of liking/disliking and the following sense-- and since it is not made out of metal, if it falls, you may not hear it :)

I got the light blue color and it really pops. Although it's not metal, it still has a substantial feel. In the description they called it "opaque." A solid color - a very nice color at that.
There are tiny ridges on field, but not anything to cause discomfort. I'm looking forward to have a long and productive relationship with this pen.
