🖋️ BASTION Raw Copper Bolt Action Pen: A Premium Luxury Retractable Metal Pen with Gift Case for Effortless Style and Elegance Review

Top Quality in it's Price PointBastion is an appropriate brand name for a product that clings to a last-man-standing level of quality while keeping the price realistic. I purchased the stainless steel bolt action Bastion in black. The matte black finish is smooth and satisfying and surprisingly easy to grip. The bolt action is very close to perfectly precise; it's responsive to what feels like an appropriate amount of pressure, and the spring resists perfectly so that you feel like you are…

The pen is heaver than most pens I've used in the past. Even some of the all steel pens. And it is mostly weighted on the back end of the pen where the bolt is.The bolt action is clean and well built, however, the chamfering on the notch for the bolt is sharp. I mean, I opened a box that was taped shut kinda sharp. After a little while using it, I don't run my thumb afoul of it anymore. It is now my go to pen.I took a chance on this one and it paid off. It was one of the first bolt action pens…

Bought as gift for wife who works late in clinic. Impressed by the reviews and images of the Bastion over the slew of these things on the market now and took a chance. Arrived today and awed everyone who are now considering purchase. However, after got home and tried it out, the bolt handle knob was loose and bound up the action. It wiggles and turns freely but this doesn't seem to be designed to do so as it jams the bolt. The fit and finish otherwise are amazing! The barrel/cap joint seam is…

Pen writes well. Has a nice durable clip. Everyone who has used it always comments on how they like it. Will definitely buy again when this one inevitably gets stolen.

Ok so I am a pen collector and I read good reviews on this pen. I agree on most of the good. Its a good weighted pen ink glides on paper nicely. I am happy with how it writes and the weight. However, the bolt part is very rough on the thumb when activating the ink. There is no way to avoid it the lip right before the writing is sharp. Also people with bigger hands may want to remove the clip as i have if you are writing for a long period it really digs into your hand. I have tried holding it…

2 month review. This pen is ridiculous, awesome, and I you shouldn't spend $50 on one, but I'd do it again myself. I bought the Copper version which is monstrously heavy and easily damaged, but I love it. I didn't like the ink sent with it so I changed it out and went on with my life. (parker style refills are pretty cheap) It came pretty patinaed so I hit it with Brasso for a good shine. It will fully re-patina in about a week. I polish it every other week. It is truly just a big chunk of…

I’ve had this pen for about a year now. It is a very durable and minimalistic pen. It feels solid and, for short writing sessions, writes very well. The spring mechanism is addicting and will bother others if they are near you due to the loud clicks. I read the older comments and put in a small ear foam piece near the top which muffles the noise greatly but it is still fun to click. The writing experience depends on the refill you use. I use gel ink and am happy with the results. The pen is…

I read in other reviews that some found this pen heavy and others loved it. I decided to try it. I'm returning it and they offer a full refund. So my review is on handling it for about ten minutes. If you're used to plastic pens, this will feel very heavy as a pen. It is *very* nicely balanced. I think if I were looking for a desk pen, I may have kept it. As an EDC, it's heavier than I'd like.If Bastion made something like a 3/4 weight version of this Ti pen (maybe slimmer, not shorter), that…

1) It looks amazing. I bought it to celebrate earning the project management professional (PMP) credential. 2) It has a nice feel in the hand. I can't wait to sign something. 3) Love it ❤️

I purchased this for my son for his birthday. A very classy and functional pen, he loved the way it felt in his hand and the ink wrote smoothly. Also….The bolt will keep it from opening by accident. Overall a big success!

Recently picked up this beauty in the copper version and it was love at first click. It is satisfyingly heavy and the action is super crisp. Can’t wait for the patina to develop. Definitely a "must have” for all you pen-ophiles.

Like too many people do, I never speak disparagingly of things made in China, and this pen is just another example as to why I don't. It's a beautiful, quality pen sold at a fair price point. I have quite a few very nice pens, mostly fountain, and Methinks this pen just might be my favorite pen of all! I'm a lefty, and I have no issue with how the bolt works. It's such a beautifully well-machined thing that I have no doubt it'll be working perfectly for decades long after this old boy is gone…

I at first purchased the Stainless Steel Bolt action Pen. It was excellent in feel, heft and maneuverability. I quickly came to realize that its weight was going to be a problem them I put it in my shirt pocket. I primarily were dress shirts as opposed to suits and jackets on a daily basis. The pen hangs in the pocket obtrusively. I returned the Stainless pen and purchased the Titanium pen which is although more costly it is also considerably lighter. The both pens are identical except for…

This pen is built very solidly and finished very well. There's a little bit of movement in the mechanism, but not worth worrying about. I am a little disappointed that the writing isn't as smooth as cheaper pens like the Zebra ones. I was hoping to replace the cartridge with ones from a Pilot G2 since this claims they're compatible, but it won't fit.

I work in a jail and bought this as my pen for work with my name engraved. Nobody can steal it, it’s super heavy duty, and it writes so smoothly! 10/10 I love it! plus I fidget a lot so the way this one clicks is far more satisfying than a regular pen!

I appreciate a heavy pen and although this is titanium it is weighty but still well balanced. It feels good in the hand when writing for a long time but is also fun to fidget with when not writing. The pens fit and finish is flawless and it came in a nice box, this would be a very gift for any pen aficionado.

This pen may be light compared to being made from steel but it is very hefty compared with aluminum or plastic pens. I like the weight of it in my hand. The machining is so tight that even knowing where it is, I can't see the seam. This looks like one solid piece. The bolt design is also very solid and extends and retracts with a solid click and feel. This would make a very exceptable gift and even more so for an engineer or anyone who appreciates fine detail. A little pricey but y9u could…

The pen is great but, the ink cartridge that comes in it, not so much. I ended up going to the fisher space pen website, and buying one of their cartridges. Made a huge improvement on the pen.

Solid well crafted pen. It took me a few minutes to figure out how the cartridge could be replaced if needed. It's so well machined you can't even see the separation until it starts to unscrew, very impressive.

I guess I didn’t pay attention to a description that said this metal will change colors rapidly and look kinda dingy but it can be taken care of or maintained to keep it looking new but it will be quite a bit of work but I still love it. Good weight to it. Love the bolt action. Sleek design so overall I’m pretty happy.
