One pen to rule them all...

The unique bolt action shape allows for one fluid motion to advance or retract the refill. Because the surfaces of both the interior part and the inside surface have been carefully machined to be extra smooth, the action feels amazingly satisfying. If there's one pen that we recommend to new customers, it's the Bolt Action.

Made from the finest 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.

    Beautiful pen

    This is probably my 4th or 5th pen from Tactile and I’m never disappointed. I love their products and the patina already forming on this pen is beautiful.

    New favorite thing

    I wanted this pen so badly and now that I have it, I Iike it even more. The balance and heft of the pen make it so smooth to write with. I swear it even improved my penmanship.

    Change in design

    I compared the short pen with the standard and the angle of the bolt groove is different. I bought my standard pen a couple of years ago and love it. The new angle on the short is less than ideal. It’s harder to slide the bolt in the groove. Plus there is a minor change in the height of the bolt. I like the older height too. It’s long enough to grip and more sleek.

    Very fidget friendly. The bolt action sometimes feels gritty, but that might be because of the spring perhaps, but it’s very satisfying when you get the bolt action ton run smoothly.
