ThunderbirdGear special edition Tactile Turn bolt action

BLACK DLC COATED TITANIUM 

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.

For information about ink refills please see the standard tactile turn bolt action page on our website. 

Available in Standard length (5.6") and Short (5.1")

  Bolt Action Mini and Side Click Mini

  The Bolt Action Mini comes with a Pilot G2 mini.

  The Pilot G2 Mini is about 0.7” shorter than the Parker style refills and is still about 0.2" too short for the Fisher Space Pen refill without the adapter on the back. It’s a weird oddball of a refill and about the only thing we have found that works is getting a 3D printed adapter that allows you to use D1 refills:

  One day we will get a 3D printer and start offering these from our website, but for now you can get one from the link above. There are a few good D1 refills, but my favorite is the Jetstream version you can find here:

Elegant and simple. The all-metal Side Click is incredibly satisfying in both feel and sound and durable to withstand a lifetime of use.

An updated, slimmer design available with 0.5mm and 0.7mm lead. Featuring our trademark texture and most popular materials.

This is just the bolt that you push on to advance and retract the mechanism for the Slider and Glider Pens and the Pencil. It is not the internal part, only the bolt that advances and retracts the mechanism. Titanium Damascus is different alloys of titanium that are forged together and twisted to create a cool pattern and after they are machined we heat them to bring out the pattern. Every bolt looks a little different. These are unique pieces and every one has variation from the next. Take a look at the photo that shows a few examples before selecting this option. These parts are threaded, so unscrewing the old one and screwing the new one in tightly is required. We use Knipex smooth jaw pliers to install these so they won't come out very easily. Be careful if you are removing your bolt as it is easy to scratch the pens. Most pliers are made from hardened steel and will scratch even our toughest titanium, zirconium, and stainless steel pens.

A meeting of classic function and modern style. While it may not be your grandfather’s slipjoint, it’s still a knife he would be more than happy to carry.
