Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
Changing the refill is simple and does not require any tools.
- Retract the writing tip.
- Unscrew the front section of the pen.
- Remove the old refill and set the small spring aside.
- Place the spring over the writing end of the new refill.
- Insert the new refill and screw the front section back on until snug.
- 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.
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.

Great feel in hand,would love a fine point but still great i just love the weight and feel..fantastic edc...!
Thanks, Luis! We’re happy you love the weight and feel of your Slim, and we appreciate your suggestion about a finer point.

This pen is the heavy weight champion of writing instruments! It's a manly man's pen. Big, bold, and simple no nonsense chunk of steel!
Thanks, Bill. We’re glad the bold weight and simple stainless steel design are exactly what you wanted.

I have bought several of these pens in different colors and materials. All are excellent pens work great and they are packaged very well too. This is from someone who has a large pen collection. Love these pens.
Thanks, Tim. Coming from someone with a large pen collection, that means a lot, and we’re glad the packaging stands out too.

I have several Bastion pens, but I am probably most fond of the slim version, especially for longer periods of writing and note-taking. Its as solid as the normal Bastion pens but lighter and a bit easier to grip for extended periods.

I was skeptical of the overall fit and finish, but I ordered pen just to see. I own many expensive pens including Mont Blancs, Caran D'Ache, Parker Duofolds, Vicsontis and some custom pens. I believe the Bastion is as good or better than any of them.This of course is built like a tank, but it has great lines and fits the hand perfectly. Its heft creates a sense of substance. I actually like that it is a little heavier than an aluminum or titanium because it assists with the pressing of the pen and relieves some hand strain.The fit and finish are perfect. The tolerance of the fit for the barrel and end are so tight that the line between the two disappears. The bolt functions smoothly and without catching. It is quite fidgetable! The refill that comes with the pen is very smooth and dark. I really like it, but I changed it for a Fischer Space Pen refill which fit perfectly and functions without a flaw.If you are looking for a great investment in a pen for yourself or as a gift, you won't go wrong with a Bastion Slim bolt action pen in stainless steel.

Beautiful pen, strong and very well made, fits nicely in the hand. The ink isn't as dark as I'd prefer though. I've been looking for something similar with a fine point or possibly gel and I cannot find it.

The steel version weighs in at 2.75 ounces. To give perspective, my parker pen weighs in at 0.5 ounces. If you want to have a unique pen that performs smoothly, provides a certain level of security and makes a statement when someone asks for a pen, then this is the pen for you. My one true gripe is it does not come in a 1mm version; to fit with the exterior. If you are going to write your memoirs by hand, cancel the order...now onto the titanium version.

It’s a good solid pen. I’m a machinist and I carry this pen in my apron everyday at work. When it arrived it was seamless. After some use the seam at the writing end of the pen appeared. The seam could be felt. Not a big deal in a shop environment.It is heavy and takes a bit getting used to. I’d definitely prefer a skinnier pen, about 3/8”, but don’t have a problem with this 1/2” size.The mechanism works well and is addicting if left in your hand. It is loud if you don’t control it through its motion. The Bastion cartridge didn’t live through a chest height fall to the concrete, while extended, but the rest of the pen is unharmed. Pocket clip is in a good location and has held up well.

I was cleaning out the junk drawer(s) and was astonished at the number of pens I had.. seemed like hundreds and only half actually wrote. Decided I only want a couple 'good' pens on hand, and a few throw-a-ways. Bastion was the first purchase for the 'good' pens and am loving it. I love the weight of the stainless steel (my wife says it is too heavy for her). The machining on this is so precise that after removing the tip (to see how the re-fill looked) and screwing it back on, the line between the body and the tip completely disappears. It's magic, I tell ya!.I have placed the matching pencil in my wishlist as well as Bastion's Aluminum Pen and mini pen as well. Might not need any throw-a-way pens after this!

What Can be said about this pen? I’ll start with it’s only downside, at least for the stainless steel version that I purchased.This is quite a heavy pen. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it does make writing with it difficult if you’re the type that happens to write against a wall or when laid, which I find myself doing from time to time. If your writing in a conventional manner, that is on a table or other horizontal surface, then this pen feels perfect. You don’t need to press down on the page as you write, the weight of the pen does that for you allowing you to effortlessly glide the pen across the paper.The build quality is perfect, I had no defects or problems with my pen. The tip is removable, but you wouldn’t tell by looking at it as the seem between the tip and the body is so well hidden that you may find yourself unscrewing it to see the split for the pure pleasure of it. The clip is very tight and secure when hooked on your pocket, but do not try to bend it open slightly like I did, I very quickly removed the clip and bent it back carefully because as little that I did actually bent the clip, I found it slipping out of my pocket afterwards.The ink cart is your standard ink cart. Buy a good quality Parker style cart and you’ll love writing with this pen every time it touches paper.In all, the solid, machined stainless steel pen is amazing, and a great addition to your everyday carry. I use a pen everyday at work, and being constantly tired of people breaking the pens or putting dried up pens in my area drives me crazy, and let’s face it, you’re not going to forget this pen in a hurry!

Weight is perfection. Functionality is superb. Machining is flawless. This is literally the Excalibur of pens!! Smooth as silk to write and indestructible. For this price youd be insane not to have it.
