Description

The latest iteration of the Bolt retains the previous engineering changes from 2016 and focuses solely on color scheme. With our move primarily using stamped aluminum clips, we can now offer full-color anodized options on our production release pens. This is the initial release of this change for the Bolt and features our updated array of anodized offerings with color-matched clips and knobs.

Anodized aluminum options are available in Gloss Black, Gloss Blue, Gloss Green, Gloss Grey, Gloss Red, and Satin Violet. For our raw metal options, we have Tumbled Aluminum, Polished Brass, and Polished Copper. Raw metal version ship with a corresponding knob and a stainless steel clip. Select from a variety of refill options.

Gloss Orange Bolts will be added at a later date.

Olive and Silver anodize options have been discontinued as production variants.

The Bolt is made from 6061-T6 aluminum, C-360 Brass, and Tellurium Copper on our CNC lathes and Swiss machining centers, in Mesa, Arizona. Pilot refills are manufactured by Pilot Pens in Japan. Schmidt refills are manufactured by Schmidt in Germany.

The Bolt was our first retractable pen and second pen that we released via Kickstarter, way back in the day. Over the years, we’ve made minor design changes to increase the functionality of all of our pens, but the Bolt was our first to have multiple design changes applied in one iteration. The Bolt features a standardized length for both the ballpoint and rollerball versions. The movement of our J-slot up towards the top of the pen allowed for more internal clearance and with a few tweaks we perfected just the right shape of the slot making actuation effortless. With the addition of an o-ring on the lower body, the Bolt will no longer come unscrewed when it’s pocket-carried.
