BIG IDEA DESIGNSlim Bolt Action Pen (Titanium Raw)

I’ve been looking for a nice titanium pen that can use different refills, unlike some of the flight pen style and embassy style pens I have, which are great but limited. I found this and while researching it I realized it could house the uniball Umr-82 refills which I knew my wife loved the Umr-83. With a quick rotation of the included torx key the pen accepted the longer uniball refill. I ended up replacing the solid clip screw to help keep it clean and I think it looks better. All in all the quality is fantastic, the innovation is truly impressive. The smoothness of the action is buttery. It works as well as a fidget tool as it does a writing implement. Also the size and balance is quite nice. I believe it’s 20g heavier than the titanium being brass, but the weight feels solid and pleasant in the fingers. Those that spin pens or twirl them through their fingers will appreciate the balance and smoothness of the main body. I’ve since purchased a second (this time titanium) for me.. mainly so I don’t abscond with my wife’s brass. Is it cheap? No. Is it something that will likely last for years of continuous use? I would be extremely surprised if it didn’t. And judging by what the company stands for, I feel if there was an issue, they would do what they could to fix it. Also based on TN so supporting something not outsourced is worth the cost when the quality is this impeccable.

Been using this for a year. It's a work of art. I also have Tactile Turn but just prefer this.

It's literally solid metal basically. Feels good in the hand. I purchased mostly for the bolt action feature. That way the pen didn't open randomly when I was try to insert it into my wallet/portfolio. The bolt action is super fun to click, just try not to annoy anyone. As you can tell, mine has developed a patina. Looked better new but comes with the territory. Leaves a metal smell on you hand, you may not like that. I don't mind, I'm always dirty working outside and such. Haven't tried to change the ink yet. Happy with the one it came with. Cool pen, price is very steep, but you pay for quality. And you don't lose this one because you'll be afraid to lose $100

This pen is solid. It is well built. The bolt action works very well. I like the deep carry clip. I like that it takes any Parker style refill.

Let me start off by saying that the craftsmanship of this pen is quite high. Don't let the location of where the pens are made fool you, these are nice. The ink provided isn't my favorite but that's easily changed out if you so wish. The bolt action is nice and smooth. No issues there. Spring is pretty stiff right off the get go but loosens up pretty quickly. Overall I have no complaints with the pen. Its expensive sure, but if you're like me and enjoy edc stuff, you've likely spent more than you "should" on some piece of gear. Either way, if you use pens, its worth a look.

Works exactly as described. Simple to adjust. Fit and finish are flawless. Overall, reasonably happy with this pen. I have a strong preference for Pilot G2 refills, and this is the first high quality pen which can accommodate these. So why only 4 stars?There are two reasons:1) The clip is very thick and inflexible and nearly useless. It requires substantial prying to open it even enough to slip the pen into a shirt pocket. As for attaching it to a leather daily planner or such, forget it! What is the purpose of a clip if it is so aggressive it is nearly rigid? I find this defect very annoying. Why turn an otherwise nearly perfect product into a love/hate relationship?2) The shiny brass mechanism stands out like a sore thumb against the black barrel. Would have been so much nicer if it had been finished in black or at least something darker. This was especially annoying because they included a useless (IMO) decorative knob to use optionally in place of the black knob. Why not use that money to finish the brass component and make the pen look nicer?

I just opened it. So I’ll update if needed; but the picture doesn’t do justice. It’s not at thin and pale. The weight is hefty and balanced. It feels great. There’s alot of functionality: the clip is reversible. The cartridge depth is adjustable. The bolt action is tighter and crisper than anticipated. There’s no looseness nor rattling.

I was on the fence about ordering this but I've been pleasantly surprised. The weight is nice and light which is great -- I was concerned it would be too heavy being machined metal. It's not too thick either... fits nicely in the hand. And the adjustment system for different refills is amazing. I put in a Zebra Sarasa refill and a 10 second adjustment with the included tool made it perfect. I look forward to trying other refills in this until I find the perfect one. Couldn't be happier with this pen. Well done!
