Looking for a fine writing instrument to last you a lifetime? Bastion’s titanium bolt-action pen is a beautifully made and virtually indestructible one that’s well balanced, writes super smoothly with no skips, and is weighty without being excessively heavy.

This is a writing tool that is just as luxurious as it is practical, with exceptional fit and finish that elevates your daily writing experience. Just as an example of what I mean: Because of how precisely this pen’s metal body is milled, it appears virtually seamless until you go to unscrew the tip. And, the heft is just enough to force you to slow down a bit and write better.

Of course, the bolt-action mechanism is enjoyable to engage/disengage whenever you have the urge to fidget, thanks to the buttery smooth operation and a rather solid, reliable feel to its construction.

You can get the titanium gray pen for $76 on Amazon. They have quite a few other metal/color options as well, with widely varying prices:
