Will Hodges, Founder of Tactile Turn
My father was a cabinetmaker with a deep appreciation for modern Danish furniture which he imparted to me. Exemplified by clean design, great materials, and proper craftsmanship – the style is part of the culture and no one does it better than the legendary designer Jens Ansø.
We've been fans of Jens' work for years now and, as it turns out, one of our Kickstarters in 2016 was the first pen that he backed so the feeling was mutual. When he reached out about a potential pen collaboration back in August 2024, I pretty much said 'yes' before knowing what he had in mind.
Jens envisioned a VERY slim pen with a knurled grip, hexagonal body, and our Side Click mechanism which involved processes we've never done before but the team was up for the challenge.
For reference, 0.365" diameter is the slimmest we've done before and the Ansø Pen, at 0.315" is quite a bit slimmer and forced us to redesign the internal, clip, and side button position for a clean and balanced end result
Offered in both Stonewashed Titanium and Brass (per his request) only in Short length, the Ansø Pen accommodates Parker-style refills and comes with an OHTO PG-105 blue ink refill perfect for taking notes or drafting plans.

Tactile Switch Pen

Fidget friendly, all-metal mechanism. Built with a slim titanium body, milled titanium clip, and bronze switch.
Based on the Magnus ClickShift™ V1, our version is rebuilt from the ground up to simplify production, tighten up the action, and improve the overall feel. The three-piece mechanism is machined grade 5 titanium and a C63000 bronze actuator switch to provide a smooth action while maintaining durability. It's the same diameter as our other slim pens and same refill compatibility as our short length. Enjoy!

Tactile Turn Bolt Action
Regular price $143.00Canadian Orders Ship Free
The unique bolt action shape allows for one fluid motion to advance or retract the refill. Because the surfaces of both the interior part and the inside surface have been carefully machined to be extra smooth, the action feels amazingly satisfying. If there’s one pen that we recommend to new customers, it’s the Bolt Action.

Historically we've stuck with the idea, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" on the diameter of the pens. As a designer, it's impossible to keep everyone happy but the biggest request we've gotten over the past few years has been to make some slimmer pens (and pencils). So, now that we have more shop capacity, we figured why not do something about it!
