Brand New Cerakote Colorway
We’ve gone and done it again. A brand new Cerakote colorway that’s a trip down memory lane. Inspired by the black light posters you could find in the local mall at stores like Spencers, the Dark Mode Jawbreaker is a new splatter effect that flips the Jawbreaker on it’s head. We had our Cerakote applicator swap the base white color with a matte black, then he used Prison Pink, Hunter Orange, and Parakeet Green to create a splatter effect that POPS!
The Dark Mode Jawbreaker Fluted Bolt limited release is our original “alternate” grip profile with machined flutes down the lower body. Our Cerakote applicator has put on a uniform coat of Armor Black (H-190) and over that has sprayed a layered, splatter of Hunter Orange (H-128), Prison Pink (H-141), and Parakeet Green (H-331) creating a brand new look that’s kind of reminiscent of the Jawbreaker mixed with a black light poster. We’re excited for this treatment in part because it looks REALLY awesome but also feels great with the finish providing added texture to the Cerakote. For this release we’ve selected the standard black anodized clip and knob with black fasteners. The pen comes outfitted with a Pilot G2 refill with black ink and ships in our standard recyclable packaging.

The long wait is over, our latest pen is here. The Modal is our latest everyday carry, retractable pen that features several new design and functionality elements. This pen has been the most requested design in the history of our company. From the day our Bolt Kickstarter launched, we were asked if we would ever add a traditional side-actuated bolt-style pen. Our response was always, “Only if we can find a reason to make one in our style because the market is saturated with that type of pen.” It’s been over ten years since the Bolt was released, and we finally found our reasons. Initially, we wanted to create a pen that was roughly the length of the EDK but accepted the Pilot G2 or other 110mm refills. A five-inch length pen is about the shortest pen that is comfortable to the average pen user. Our second reason was that most bolt-style pens on the market use a side button that sticks out pretty far from the body of the pen. The button is uncomfortable and often gets caught on clothing or jabs into your hip if you’re pocket-carrying the pen. Also, for some reason, most of the current bolt-style pens feature a backward J-slot, requiring the user’s thumb to move in a weird motion bringing the button down and back towards the heel of the palm. We designed a button that is oval shaped, with a slightly convex face that is raised just enough off of the body of the pen to be functional but doesn’t interfere with clothing and won’t jab you in the hip. Our J-slot is more of a modified checkmark, and requires the user to simply push their thumb down in a swift motion before the action “catches”. The button is easily retracted with a swift upward motion of the thumb, but the catch on the slot is positive enough that the refill won’t retract during use. Finally, we developed a deep pocket carry clip somewhat resembling the INK clip but fastens via an internal thread that isn’t visible. The internal slider mechanism is machined from Delrin which provides a perfect, smooth action. The body, clip, slider, and button are designed and manufactured in our facility in Mesa, Arizona. The standard Modal ships with the Pilot G2 refill, and will accept most 110mm/Euro style refills.
