Tactile Turn Bolt Action Pen Short 5.1" Stonewashed Titanium 10-BA2-TTM-STW

Meet the Tactile Turn Bolt Action Pen: a writing tool built with the same uncompromising standards you'd demand of any precision instrument. It’s not ornamental fluff — this pen is designed for work, built to last, and engineered so every interaction feels purposeful.

From the moment you grip it, you’ll notice it’s all metal — no lightweight plastics or hollow shells. The bolt-action mechanism slides smoothly on precisely machined surfaces; pushing the bolt feels solid and confident. The interior and the interior-facing surfaces are milled to reduce friction, so the deployment and retraction of the tip happens without hesitation. The action is tactile, audible, and satisfying — it tells you, “this is a tool.”

You're free to choose your preferred size — the Standard (5.6"), Short (5.1"), or Mini (4.4") — so you get a pen that fits your grip and your carry habits. Thickness is consistent (0.43") across models, so switching length doesn’t mean relearning the feel. The pen ships with high-quality refills (Pilot G2, Schmidt EasyFlow, etc.), yet it’s also compatible with many popular refill types, so you can configure it to your favorite ink.

Materials are premium and purposeful. Titanium is the go-to: tough, light, and corrosion resistant. Copper offers heft, antimicrobial properties, and a character that evolves with age (it patinas). Bronze has warmth and a traditional feel, while zirconium brings a dark, lustrous edge for those who want something rare and harder to machine. The pen includes a stainless steel deep-carry clip, and you can upgrade to a titanium Damascus bolt or add custom clip engraving.

This pen isn’t just an item — it’s backed by Tactile Turn’s lifetime warranty. They expect you to carry it, bend it into your routine, and rely on it daily. If something fails, they’ll make it right.
