- BASTION Slim Aluminum Bolt Action Pen, Mini EDC Pocket Pen, Black Writing

Love mine the quality is great and looks really good!

Writes beautifully and love the weight to it

The pen is well constructed and feels good in the hand and very compact. The ink can be of better quality. I purchased a gel ink from the same brand and it came destroyed and unfortunately they have not replaced.

Bought as a gift for a grad. He liked it.

Excellent quality, but aluminum pen is slippery and difficult to write with without applying more pressure. Would be tiring to write with for any length of time. Am returning pen.

This is my second pen from Bastion, and I have thoroughly enjoyed carrying the first one for almost a year (which is, weirdly, the longest I've ever used a single pen for). When I saw they'd released a slim version of it, I had to have it, because the original Bastion pen is just a bit too chunky to be truly comfortable for me. The slim Bastion is just perfect. Solidly built, good weight and balance, and perfectly comfortable in my hand. I use a Jetstream refill in it, and it writes like a dream. And the bolt-action mechanism makes a great fidget toy. Side note: These pens are built so solidly that they can take a beating. My old one is only lightly scuffed after a year of every day use (and every day dropping). They also clean up pretty quickly if a refill bursts (if you, for example, wash the pen with your laundry by accident...). It disassembled easily, including the bolt-action mechanism, and I was able to soak it in isopropyl alcohol for a few days to dissolve and rinse away the ink before reassembling it and putting in a fresh refill. Excellent pens!

I gave this to a co worker and he loves it! He won't use other pens now. Lol. Great quality and writes very well.

Great design, nice feel. Watch for the little screws that hold the clip. Mine fell off and got lost so the clip is non functional. Might what to loctite them.

Excellent Pens, Made well, Love the Blue color, did not try the ink, I bought my own from Amazon: Schmidt P900 Parker Style Ballpoint Pen Refill, Medium Point, Black Ink. This ink is the BEST.

So called “Luxury pen” and not cheap, but arrived oxidized and with pitting on both the clip and aluminium body. I would have expected the clip to at least be stainless steel.
