Review on Raw Brass Bolt Action Retractable Ballpoint Pen With Gift Case - Luxury Executive Metal Ink Refillable Business Office EDC Pen For Men & Women by Terry Paige

Build: its a gorgeous pen made out of real titanium with a sturdy pocket clip and a really strong, crisp bolt action opening. The design looks amazing, love the aesthetics of the pen and the provided gel insert writes well enough, I'd prefer a finer tip so will be replacing this one.Writing: even though I spent extra for the full titanium expecting it to be light enough to use for long times I was sadly mistaken. It's very top heavy because of the bolt action mechanism and it becomes very slick once your hands start to sweat. Doesn't have any stippling or grip of any kind so it's far from comfortable.Value: it's an expensive pen, $80 for a pen seemed ridiculous to me but everyone in the EDC world raves about these so I figured I'd try it. Well it was an expensive experiment to say the least. It'll look great in my EDC pack and will be cool for signing my name or something short, but other than that it's far too heavy to be considered a practical pen. I'd literally grab a .50 cent Bic over this if I had to write anything more than 3 sentences.Verdict: to each their own, I spend money on things people consider ridiculous but seem totally logical to me. Is it worth the money? That's totally subjective, but for an average Joe, I'm dubious if they'd recommend this to their friends at this price for a pen.
