Most of them came free with something, or out of a box of twelve. This one comes down to a single decision: machine the body from Grade 5 titanium and leave the metal showing. Nothing is anodized over it, so the gray you are looking at is the alloy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2007 we have specialized in carbon fiber, which taught us what to look for in any pen: a material you can tell apart in the hand, and a mechanism worth using. Bastion's bolt is that mechanism. One thumb, in either hand, brings the tip out and the bolt locks there while you write, through a 0.7mm medium point in black. At 1.63 ounces, you know it is metal the moment you pick it up. When the ink runs out, the front section unscrews by hand and takes Parker-type G2 refills, not Pilot G2. A spare cartridge is already in the box, and the pen carries a lifetime manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want the metal itself, this is the one. It arrives in a gift box with the ink already in it, and sooner or later someone is going to pick it up off your desk and work the bolt before they say a word about it. Add it to your cart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bastion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67910193217851,"sku":"11005","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1310\/3673\/files\/1-bastion-titanium-bolt-action-pen.jpg?v=1794252785","url":"https:\/\/carbonfibergear.com\/products\/bastion-titanium-bolt-action-pen","provider":"CarbonFG","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
