I was kinda skeptical about getting this but I’m glad I finally did.

So good I bought a second - one at work and one at home!

Okay, let me tell you about this pen – the Big Idea Design Base Line Bolt Action in Titanium with that Stonewashed finish and the Titanium Damascus clip. Honestly, "beautiful" doesn't even quite cover it. This pen is a real looker. The stonewashed titanium gives it this rugged yet sophisticated feel, and the way the light plays off the Damascus pattern on the clip? Forget about it. It's just stunning – a subtle touch of artistry that elevates the whole piece.
But it's not just about looks, thankfully. This pen actually writes. And it writes well. The bolt action mechanism is smooth and satisfying to operate, giving you that tactile feedback that makes using a quality pen enjoyable. When it hits the paper, the ink flows consistently and smoothly, making writing feel like less of a task and more of a pleasure.
It's clear that Big Idea Design has put a lot of thought into both the aesthetics and the functionality of this pen. It feels solid and well-balanced in my hand, and knowing it's made from titanium gives it that sense of lasting quality. This isn't just a pen you use; it's a pen you appreciate. If you're someone who values both beautiful design and a reliable writing experience, the Base Line Bolt Action Pen in this configuration is definitely worth considering. It's a piece I'm genuinely happy to have in my collection.

Great pen at a very good price, “cheap” because less versatile with types of refills than prior offerings. Which I am fine with!

Action on this pen is great, very fidgety. A little thicker than I prefer. I also have their slim bolt action pen, and it’s my go-to.

This is my 3rd PHX-pen, I love the looks the most, it feels so good in the hands. This is a pen that can literally last a lifetime. I’ve dealt with customer service and it’s such a pleasure talking to them, they are so responsive to my needs over the loss of one of my pen caps. , this is a company that takes pride in their products and I can see why!! If you’re on the fence about whether to purchase one or not, don’t hesitate. The craftsmanship is incredible. I’m so happy I found this company. Thank you BIG IDEA DESIGN, oh and I also purchased their
pocket knife, let me tell you that this knife exceeded my expectations. The knife is easily one of my favorite’s.
Look at their whole line of products, you’ll be so glad you found them.

Love writing with this pen… Just holding it you can tell you’re holding something of AMAZING quality and craftsmanship!!! Find myself doing unnecessary writing just to use it!!! More purchases to come from BIG I

This pen is not only now my favorite, but is hands down the best. The tolerances are incredible. I have put down my tactile turn pen. being able to use my favorite refill cartridges is a big factor for me. My only issue is deciding which pen to get next!

I bought it as a gift for a good friend of mine and she just loves it! Highly recommend for those artists in your life.

looks beautiful. I'm crossing my fingers that it holds up!

Real nice solid pen

My husband reviews the crap out of things before purchasing so when he said he wanted this for his birthday, I grabbed it. He LOVES it! He uses it daily! The size, style and usability are top notch! Thank you!

Slim Bolt Action Pen

Magnacut, micarta, kydex sheath, titanium pocket clip with strong retention, what more can you ask for?

Keep my Leatherman and my Ti Utility knife in pocket as Ti Utility knife has small foot print and keeps me from marring up the Leatherman blade. Easy to replace blades. Feels good in hand. Fun to fidget with. I recommend.
