Normally, yes. We tend to stick with materials like titanium, copper, and bronze because of their toughness and corrosion resistance. But, at the suggestion of our friends at Blade HQ, we ordered some Ultem® 1000 and did a run of Bolt Action pens and Bexar Slipjoint knives. Ultem has high mechanical strength and heat resistance which makes it ideal for harsh environments. The diameter is slightly wider than our normal line but the action is so incredibly smooth we don't think you'll mind.
Isn't plastic supposed to be bad?
