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 (and Pencil) takes things to the next level by slimming them down for a friendlier writing and carrying experience.
With how popular the Bolt Action Pen is with their customers, Tactile Turn made sure not to fix what wasn’t broken. They’ve kept the design of the pen completely—along with all its associated options and accoutrements—but carved down the diameter to 0.365“ as per the biggest request of their user base. With a bigger capacity for production at their Texas workshop, they’ve answered the call with the Slim, offering the same great features in a size that takes up less space in the hand and pocket.
You get the choice of four premium materials when selecting a Slim Bolt Action Pen for yourself: titanium, copper, bronze, and zirconium. You also have a choice of three lengths to best fit your preference, from the standard 5.6“ length to a shorter 5.1”, and a compact 4.4“ as well for the ultimate portability. You can also further customize any combination of material and length with titanium damascus features, replacing the bolt, clip, or both with a unique, swirling, and eye-catching accent. An engraving on the clip is one last add-on you can avail of for the perfect personalized pen.
The Slim Bolt Action Pen takes on a number of refills depending on the length you select. The Standard (5.6“) comes with a Pilot G2 0.7 mm refill, the Short (5.1″) comes with a Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 medium refill, and the Mini (4.4″) comes with a Pilot G2 Mini 0.7mm refill. Tactile Turn have also compiled a list of compatible refills should you have a particular one for your needs. And if pencils are more your jam, Tactile Turn released a full suite of Slim versions as well to cover your bases.
Your favorite bolt-action pen needn’t hold you back from writing down your next big idea nor weigh you down when carrying your favorite writing tool.
