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.

An unidentified flying object has been spotted in the night skies. The craft is built from an otherworldly alloy, polished to the highest degree. What appears to be an integrated hyper drive emits a mysterious green aura when it catches the light. A custom bolt is shaped in the likeness of the craft according to the accounts of several firsthand witnesses. It's clear they were targeting us and have a deep understanding of our Solar System based on the laser-etched map and Cerakote highlight on our planet found on the body. Their mission? Unknown... but the truth is out there. Will you find it?
From Another Galaxy
Humans have long wondered if we were alone in the universe. Some believed on faith alone while others doubted based on sheer statistical improbability. New evidence presented here ends that debate once and for all and now the question becomes what do they want from us?
Designed in collaboration with Charles Wiggins of CWF Custom Flashlights, the Apollo is our first foray into the world of premium EDC lights. Built with a top-of-the-line custom driver and machined entirely in our Dallas, TX shop
Let there be light...
Measuring 3.6" long with a 0.740" diameter, the Apollo is the perfect pocket companion. Machined entirely from premium materials with a scooped body shape, the titanium clip is secured to the body with custom, in-house screws while a sapphire lens and clicky tail switch complete the build.
The Titanium, Bronze, & Copper models feature bare metal with our signature texture on the front and back for superior grip
The X-Tone model is smooth bodied with a two-tone anodized finish, anodized green screws, and glowy tail switch
Powerful and efficient battery options
All of the power comes from a 14500 lithium ion battery which is the same form factor as a AA but higher voltage for better performance. Included with each light is a Nitecore NL1411R 1100mAh battery with an integrated USB-C port for quick and easy charging. You can also use any 14500-sized battery on the market.

Danish Design Meets American Manufacturing
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.
Inspired by 1950s drafting tools
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.

Bolt Action G10

G10 is a composite material that's made by layering glass cloth soaked in epoxy. It's very popular in the EDC community for knife scales because it's light and durable but there are challenges to making it into pens. Specifically, it only comes in sheets and is extremely messy to machine. The natural (jade) color will slowly darken and patina over time while the OD Green should remain unchanged. Also, the texture is prominent right out of the box but will eventually smooth on the high-wear areas

Available in White, OD Green, Orange, Blue/Black, or Natural (Jade) G10
