Tactile Turn Slim Bolt Action Pen Short 5.1" (USA)
There’s nothing quite like owning and writing with a custom machined pen for EDC. Not only are they more deliberately designed and manufactured to much higher tolerances than the standard fare, but they also introduce unique functions and materials to your writing repertoire.
Tactile Turn is one of the premiere pen machinists on the market, especially when it comes to their popular bolt-action pen for EDC. And their new Slim Bolt Action Pen takes things to the next level by slimming them down for a friendlier writing and carrying experience.
Historically Tactile Turn has stuck with the idea, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" on the diameter of the pens. As designers, it's impossible to keep everyone happy but the biggest request they've gotten over the past few years has been to make some slimmer pens (and pencils). So, now that they have more shop capacity, they figured why not do something about it!
Quality materials...
This is the Short 5.1" length pen and there are four options to choose from: titanium, copper, bronze, and zirconium. Tactile Turn picked those four because they're popular, fun to machine, and can withstand a lifetime of use.
Designed to last forever
Everything Tactile Turn sells comes with a Lifetime Warranty because they believe tools should be carried, used, and trusted to last. If something unexpected goes wrong, let them know and they'll make it right.
