BASTION® Luxury Bolt Action Pen, Durable Professional Ballpoint Pen with Fine Tip, EDC Pen Ink Refillable Pen - 100% Stainless Steel

Honestly this one is a replacement because my first one was stolen!I’m pretty picky with pens and I’ve always wanted a well built bolt action pen, so I got one as a gift to myself, splurged on a nice one, and I was only more and more impressed with the quality.It writes really smooth, it’s nice and weighty, could be a downside if you like really light pens but I like the heft.The action is smooth and super satisfying to use, the clip is also nice and tight and well secured.I think one of my favorite things about this pen honestly is the machining, it came with an ink refill and it wasn’t until I was showing my cousin the pen that I was like “how do you even put this in?” It took me only a few minutes to figure out the tip unscrewed however the machining is so tight you can’t see the line! When it’s screwed on all the way it looks like one clean titanium tube! Incredible, definitely my favorite pen

I bought one of these (the titanium model that is not painted) a year ago, and I never even tried the stock ink, because I was about to carry a premium pen so I wanted premium ink. I don't remember which ink I tried, but it was good. But back to the pen. The finish is very nice. It has some weight to it, which takes a little getting used to, but is very comfortable once you have used it a while. So much that normal pens feel strange now. I work in chemical plants and refineries (high voltage electrical work) and so I need something that not only looks and feels premium, but can take abuse also. And my biggest concern was the clip being able to stand up to my abuse, taking it in and out of my shirt pocket all day long. And I have to say the clip is just as strong as the pen body, and after a year, I have never bent or broken it. After a year there are some light scratches all over the pen body, but it doesn't really affect the look of it unless you look really close.The fit of the tip really impressed me. The tip screws off/on to replace the ink cartridge (or to fidget), and when it's screwed on you really can't even see the line between the pen body and the tip. It is a very close machined fit, and I think that is one of the reason I say the quality is so good.The bolt action is very fun to fidget with, and has plenty of spring tension without being difficult to actuate.I actually just lost my pen. I left it at a restaurant Sunday. And today (2 days later) I just ordered another one, exactly like it. I'm sure whoever found it will enjoy it as much as I did.Not only would I buy it again, I just did!Anytime I have ever let anyone use it, they always say how nice it is.Get off the fence and pick this up! It is more than worth the money!Also get a good refill. I ordered the fine tip Parker Space refill this time.

I'm an avid pen collector. I've tried tons of different kinds of pens (including home made ones) looking for the one special pen that I would love enough to be an EDC pen. I'm sooo happy to say that my search is over!First of all, it's BEAUTIFUL! The perfect design for literally every situation. I use mine for EDC and in an office setting and it's perfect.Second, it's built like a TANK! it's durable enough that I'm okay just tossing it in my pocket, and not worried if it's going to get crushed or bend if I try sitting or bending too quickly. Also, the fact that it's a little bigger and thicker makes it easier to retrieve out of my pocket. It doesn't sink to the bottom like smaller pens do. The weight of it is also surprising to me! I was expecting it to be made with cheap materials, but this was REALLY all metal. giving it a very nice weight. More comfortable to use than the average pen for people with larger hands.thirdly, the insert of it! I almost didn't buy it because I was worried a few people said that Parker inserts didn't fit very well into it. I was originally gonna try and find a parker insert that fit as soon as I got it, but after using the BASTION insert, I was very impressed. In my opinion, I think it might even work better than parker. No dead spots, very smooth on all papers, except for sticky notes, the enemy of ALL my pens. lol. I'll be buying a pack of BASTION refills once this one dies on me. Only time will tell if those work just as well as my original. I know they usually don't, but I'm excited to find out.The only thing I kind of wish is that it was just a LITTLE bit longer... but other than that, it's really a pleasure to write with. Should this pen ever fail me, I will absolutely be buying another!

Hey, I'm sure there are more expensive, maybe even better made pens (I doubt that really) but right out of the box, this zirconium version is built like a tank, weighs in at 2.4 Oz and VERY well made and absolutely no seam, it was instantly my favorite pen. I'm a fan of the gel pens and found that I could order gel Refills instead of ink. Long story short, I've already ordered 2 more. Great job Bastion.
