Slim Bolt Action Pen

I’m using a Pilot G2 refill, and when the pen is retracted the nib sits very close to the front opening. This may cause ink to leak if it comes into contact with a pocket or fabric. It would be nice if the refill could sit a bit deeper inside the barrel when retracted.

I own the titanium version of this pen and really enjoy it, so I was hoping the heavier model would offer an even better writing experience. While it certainly has the extra weight I was looking for, the balance is unfortunately off.....it’s too top-heavy, which makes it tiring to use for longer writing sessions. I think more thought had gone into the design and weight distribution. I also own a Smooth Precision copper pen which is very well balanced and a pleasure to use. It seems BID has followed Tactile Turn in producing a copper pen that’s simply too top-heavy to be practical. Unfortunately, it’s not usable for me and is going back in the box.

So I use the Pilot V5 RT pens and by the refills. Of course the pens don't last in my workplace. I work in the aerospace industry fastener manufacturer. I use my pen a lot for paperwork. I also hang it in the sleeve I got with the pen. They both work excellent! 10 out of 10 I highly recommend!

This pen is awesome. I actually got 3.

I was very happy with my pen. The Slim Bolt Action Pen.
Until I lost it. (I can't find it since) Sad noises...

The Titanium Damascus Bolt handle was 🔥.
