Frequently asked questions

What is this Bastion pen made from?

It’s crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a protective anodized coating for a lightweight, comfortable feel.

How durable is this Bastion pen?

The aluminum body is strong enough for everyday writing while remaining easy to carry. Its anodized finish adds protection against normal daily wear.

Why is a Bastion pen worth the price?

A Bastion pen is made for people who appreciate the feel of a finely crafted writing instrument. From the material and finish of the body to the crisp movement of the bolt action, every detail is designed to feel considered in the hand.

The premium experience is also made to last. The pen can be refilled, maintained, and carried for years instead of being replaced when the ink runs out. That combination of craftsmanship, longevity, and distinctive feel is what makes a Bastion pen worth the price.

What makes the bolt action mechanism so satisfying?

The HyperBolt™ gives the pen a smooth, solid action and locks securely when the tip is in use. Precision CNC machining keeps the movement clean and consistent, giving you satisfying mechanical feedback every time you engage it. That same tactile feel also makes the pen enjoyable to fidget with between notes.

Is it suitable for left-handed and right-handed writers?

Yes. Bastion bolt action pens are designed to feel comfortable in either hand. The bolt is positioned for easy thumb operation whether you write left-handed or right-handed.

Every pen arrives ready to use with a fine-point black ink refill that delivers smooth, consistent lines with no ink blotches.

Which ink refill does this pen use?

All current Bastion standard and Slim bolt action pens use the classic Parker-style G2 refill, also known as the ISO G2 or International G2 format.

This is not the same as a Pilot G2 refill. Some wider third-party Parker refills may also have fit issues, so Bastion replacement cartridges are recommended for the most reliable fit and smooth operation.

How do I replace the ink refill?

Changing the refill is simple and does not require any tools.

  1. Retract the writing tip.
  2. Unscrew the front section of the pen.
  3. Remove the old refill and set the small spring aside.
  4. Place the spring over the writing end of the new refill.
  5. Insert the new refill and screw the front section back on until snug.
  6. Test the bolt action and write a few lines on paper.

If the refill feels stuck, does not retract, or creates resistance in the bolt action, remove it rather than forcing the mechanism. Confirm that it is the correct Parker-style G2 size or use a Bastion replacement cartridge.

Is a Bastion pen suitable as a gift?

Yes. A Bastion pen has the presence of a premium gift while remaining useful enough to enjoy every day. Its refined finish, substantial feel, and satisfying bolt action make it memorable without turning it into something too precious to use.

It is a thoughtful choice for graduations, promotions, retirements, birthdays, and professional milestones. You can also choose a material that suits the recipient, from lightweight aluminum and titanium to the more substantial feel of stainless steel.

Awesome pens

I’m an airline pilot and I put pens through some heavy use. I bought two in case I lose one (easy to do in my line of work). Solid construction and I love the bolt action. Writes great as well. I’ll be buying more to give as gifts for Christmas.

Thanks, Barry! It means a lot that you enjoy using our pens at work and want to share them as Christmas gifts.

The Bastion Writing Device..

Wow, what a great writing device! It's made so well, very smooth writing, the small one fits very nice in my hand, and the pen deployment action is awesome! The pen has a nice clip for a belt, shirt, pocket, or portfolio. And can be used as a weapon if needed. The Blue color is extremely nice and great looking, even is has a nice price! I highly recommend this writing device! Thanks for a great product!

Thanks, Eric. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a detailed review.

Here to Solve Refill Confusion

I see many reviews stating the description is misleading. That is not true. The naming of the refills is similar, unfortunately. Parker style refills are know as G2 refills. They're only called parker refills because of the popularity of the Parker Jotter. The Pilot G2 refills after known as Euro Style. Unfortunately, Pilot used G2 as the pen name, which is what now causes confusion. But if you look at the photos in the description, you can tell it's not a Pilot G2 refill. I hope this helps people out. I've also attached photos of the details each type of refill has.*I do not own this pen, so disregard my rating. It will be purchased soon tho and will update accordingly.

Great pen. Would be 5 stars but...

I love this pen. It have been using it for 2 years straight now. I have bought many refills for this pen. I use it 8 hours a day. It would be a 5 star pen if the color was not wearing off from constant use. I get that it's metal and it does wear. But you know how back in the day things were made to last. Well.... it's only been 2 years. Either way it's still my favorite pen I have ever owned.

A bit slippery, clip might bother some

Love the feel of it in my hand, but I naturally want to hold the pen clip side up with the bolt facing toward my hand. I imagine this would not be comfortable for those with larger hands. (Maybe it's so their logo will be visible to those looking from the other side, but their brand name is upside down with the way I hold it.)With longer writing sessions, my hand starts to hurt from trying to maintain a grip on it. The finish, while smooth and pleasant to the touch, is slippery in practice. I wish there was a bit of texture or maybe a few grooves on the section to help with this.The ink refill is typical ballpoint ink. It works. Nothing to gush about, but I think I will swap out the refill for something else when it runs dry.Despite all of the above, the finish and machining are on point. I will probably pick another one up in a different color at some point!
