Materials & Construction
Body Options: Available in titanium, copper, bronze, and zirconium.
Machining: Each pen is precision-milled on state-of-the-art CNC equipment, with a distinctive **grooved texture** running the length of the barrel to enhance grip and tactile feel.
Finish: Metals are left raw, bead-blasted, stonewashed, or anodized (depending on material), designed to develop a natural patina or resist wear over time.

Mechanism
Bolt Action: A machined, L-shaped track allows the bolt to lock in place with a satisfying click. The movement is engineered for longevity, designed to withstand thousands of actuations without loss of precision.
Operation: One-handed deployment and retraction of the writing tip makes it suitable for rapid note-taking and EDC scenarios.
Writing
Refill System: Compatible with Parker-style G2 refills
