4.8'' Titanium Alloy Bolt Action Pen

First off I really enjoy this pen. I'll rate the pen body differently from the ink cartridge. The pen body is lightweight and just the right length. Over all I'm a big fan of the fit and finish of the body. The 5 stars is because of the fit and finish. The other issues I point out below are just net picking. For the net picking: 1st. The original spring was a little too light for my taste, I just swapped it out with another spring from a cheap old pen, just about any click pen spring will work so that's nice. 2nd The tread at the head only has 1 full rotations of engagement. Meaning the strength at this joint many be questionable, but so far I've had no issues, just see it as a risk. 3rd I carry this as an EDC item in a jeans pocket. The pocket clip is is very strong for this but is slim and is a tight fit over large pieces of fabric. But I expect this to loosen up over time. For the ink cartridge, it is a deeper black when compared to something like a bic pen, which I personally enjoy. It does seem to put down a good amount of ink, on some paper types it maybe a little slow to absorb, standard paper does not have any issues. When I first just started using it, it would have issues starting and stopping the flow of ink, likely to just being in storage. I don't see this as an issue for the pen overall, I would just replace the cartridge if that had continued, it does come with several replacements when needed.

The pen's fit and finish is pretty okay. For the money, I am satisfied. The problem area, at least for me, is the action. It was gritty and not smooth at all. I had to take it apart, cleaned it out, and greased it up. Now, it is pretty solid overall. I just fear that the action will not break in to being fully smooth. I'd recommend the pen if you are willing to put the work in to get it to where you want or if you are interested in dipping your toes in the bolt action pen arena to see if they are for you. Otherwise, probably spend a bit more money for a more finished product.

This is a high quality pen. Great craftsmanship. I was looking for a good pen than I could carry in a pants pocket. And with the 3 refills it is a good value for the price, although it was an Amazon Black Friday purchase.

Very strong, hard pen. Does double-duty as a self-defense weapon. Excellent!

Well made ballpoint pen. Love the bolt action mechanism and titanium body. Good investment for seeing if a modern edc pen is going to work in your carry.

Really great pen. It's a small pen , best used in smaller hands!!

Very nice pen with a good feel when writing. Unfortunately, when I tried to replace the parker style refill that came with the pen, I noticed that the top of the refill leaked ink on the top inside portion. I was able to clean as much as I could but you don't expect this issue with a brand new item.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Smaller than I expected but writes very well. Very smooth Pen quality: Very strong
