BASTION Titanium Bolt Action Metal Pen with Gift Case - Luxury Executive Light weight Retractable Ballpoint Pen Ink Collectors Novelty Pocket EDC Heavy Duty Writing Pens for Men & Women

The first thing that struck me about this pen is the weight - it feels a little unwieldy to begin with but you soon get to grips with it. This is a quality product that will not let you down - the 'bolt-action' is very satisfying and I am certain that I could click it a million times before it gave in. The quality of the writing is very good - it glides across the page really well meaning that you can allow your natural handwriting flow to come through. The clip is very snug - I have lost so many pens due to feeble clips so I was very pleased to see that this one was going nowhere. I recommend this pen to anyone.

What Can be said about this pen? I’ll start with it’s only downside, at least for the stainless steel version that I purchased.This is quite a heavy pen. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it does make writing with it difficult if you’re the type that happens to write against a wall or when laid, which I find myself doing from time to time. If your writing in a conventional manner, that is on a table or other horizontal surface, then this pen feels perfect. You don’t need to press down on the page as you write, the weight of the pen does that for you allowing you to effortlessly glide the pen across the paper.The build quality is perfect, I had no defects or problems with my pen. The tip is removable, but you wouldn’t tell by looking at it as the seem between the tip and the body is so well hidden that you may find yourself unscrewing it to see the split for the pure pleasure of it. The clip is very tight and secure when hooked on your pocket, but do not try to bend it open slightly like I did, I very quickly removed the clip and bent it back carefully because as little that I did actually bent the clip, I found it slipping out of my pocket afterwards.The ink cart is your standard ink cart. Buy a good quality Parker style cart and you’ll love writing with this pen every time it touches paper.In all, the solid, machined stainless steel pen is amazing, and a great addition to your everyday carry. I use a pen everyday at work, and being constantly tired of people breaking the pens or putting dried up pens in my area drives me crazy, and let’s face it, you’re not going to forget this pen in a hurry!

The best EDC pen.Simple, designed well, without weak points.One at all life, unless you lose it, lol.

Even having the all titanium version of this pen there is still some weight to it which for me is perfect but if you want a light pen this is not for you. Also the grip is slightly larger than compared to a Parker ball point for example and again this might not be for you but fits fine for me. Build quality is superb and the action is very nice and smooths up quickly after a few days worth of movement. Like many others I replaced the supplied cartridge with the Fischer space pen cartridge which is a good choice in my opinion. Overall a lovely pen.

Excellent pen. Has heft and feels like a well made product.

Sturdy, solid, well made pen. It's really quite heavy, but not in a bad way. Very comfortable to hold and write with. The bolt action is smooth and reassuringly precise. The clip, again, very solid and robust, always the first thing that fails on my EDC pens, but not this one ! For that reason alone I give this pen top marks. Only negative is the price, but you get what you pay for, its worth it.

Been looking at this pen for some time now. I have finally got it and I am really pleased with the quality of the pen. Where others collect shoes, trainers, handbags and watches, I collect nice pens!

Carbon fibre is quite unusual to see on a pen and this real matt finished carbon fibre looks very nice too, mine did have a green fleck stuck in the resin but this is normally hidden by the clip. The clip does move a little bit around the join but not enough to cause me any concern. The bolt has a nice feeling once worn in although initially rough, it also has quite a loud 'Chick-Chink' sound which can be both satisfying but also avoidable if you want it to be quiet, not as slick as my Tactile Turn pen's bolt but it has a different feel overall anyway and at a much more affordable price. The bolt unfortunately cannot be disassembled so I would try to keep this pen away from anything like sand or dirt which may get stuck inside it. When I first recieved it the tip felt too easy to unscrew but it has gotten tighter since and hasn't fallen off, it is also slightly wider than the CFRP body but this is not too bad. It is also a very heavy pen, perhaps my heaviest and the long taper on the tip makes it a bit hard to hold on to sometimes but not too bad once you get used to it but I couldn't use it for more than notes. Overall Tactile Turn pens are a huge way ahead in terms of quality and design in my opinion but for the price this pen has really impressed me.
