Frequently asked questions

What is this Bastion pen made from?

It combines a genuine carbon-fiber outer tube with a stainless-steel core for a distinctive look and reassuringly solid feel.

How durable is this Bastion pen?

Carbon fiber adds rigidity, while the steel core provides strength where it matters. The result is a durable bolt action pen made for everyday writing and carry.

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.

Great buy for high end pen buyers at 1/4 the price

I bought a magnus $250 pen the same day i bought this and its just as nice. for a 50$ pen this thing is fantastic. all it needed was a higher quality ink cartridge and it is every bit at nice as a 300$ pen. Pictured pen on left is Magnus $250, right is William Henry $500, nice work Bastion!

Thanks for the thoughtful comparison. It means a lot to hear the pen holds its own beside much more expensive options.

Nice, slick pen

Comes packaged in a very nice box with an extra ink cartridge. Pen is beautiful. It is slightly heavier than your generic store bought pen, but it feels so much better in your hand. The pens writes smoothly as well.

Pen refills

This pen is absolutely phenomenal, amazing weight, veey comfortable, and the fisher space pen refills are compatible with no issues. Nice sturdy bolt thats not to harsh on the fingers if you're using it a lot, and feels very nice in the pocket. Definitely a conversation starter if you bring this to a meeting. Amazing piece of EDC and it replaced my uzi tactical bolt action the day i got it. Definitely recommend it for the price. Quality real carbkn fiber and gorgeous silver accent. Could seriously mess someone up with it too if you needed to.

Very elegant

Awesome pen, I own two of them, they are weighty but I like that and it's a great clicker but will annoy the heck out of your co workers

Solid writing piece, great conversation starter

Matches my other carbon fiber edc items. It's actually a very hefty pen - even compared to some titanium pens I own.

Coolest pen I’ve ever held

So right out of the box I love this thing. I love the weight of it. Feels so premium. The bolt action part is very sturdy. Only thing I don’t like is I’m used to and prefer gel ink so the cartridge it comes with is not for me. I’ll use it until it’s done, but I won’t use that type in the future. Fortunately Bastion offers refills on different colors and with gel options so I just orders a 6 pack black gel refill for 15.99.I’m entirely happy with this purchase and I may buy a few more for my food friends.

I love this pen, has good weight and feels smooth in the hand, kind of a matte feel to it. i’ve been looking for a good EDC pen and didn’t want to spend $100. This is definitely worth it to me. Hope you guys produce more because I’m definitely a customer!Great Product!

Great heavy carbon fiber pen!

Very satisfied with the quality of this own, especially for the price point. It is very weighty and feels well made. It was delivered within a couple days which was an added plus. Highly recommended.

Wow! What a pen!

Great weight. Cool look. Carbon fiber and black look great together. Balance in hand is nice and you know it’s there. Best of all it writes fantastic. Now the trick is to keep sticky fingers from latching on. 😂

EXCELLENT writing instrument

I am a Diesel Mechanic that needs to jot down notes frequently. I got sick and tired of cheap pens that break, primarily the clip, and or, the mechanism. I crawl on the ground daily, I am a Heavy Equipment Diesel Mechanic, and I'm literally inside engine bays squeezing into tight spaces where my pen would snag on wiring harnesses, hydraulic lines, ect... So, having a pen, I store it in my left front shirt pocket, that does NOT protrude out of my pocket much with a clip that firmly holds itself in the pocket is very desirable for me. I am a tool junkie! I invest my money, these days, in the finest quality tools, and my pen has become another important tool that I decided needed to be upgraded to one that met my criteria for QUALITY. I'm sick and tired of cheap pens that don't function well in my environment! This pen, in my opinion, is a truly fine writing instrument and is exactly what I have been looking for, for a very long time. I couldn't be more happy with it's performance, and so far, it has eliminated all my complaints about what a GOOD pen should be. The price, I don't think, can be beaten.

Beautiful...

Nice weighty pen with quality fit, finish and feel! Great for us with larger hands. Would have preferred Schneider or Space Pen ink cartridge to the generic cartridge it came with. But that said, The Quality is Awesome!

Very nice pen

I think it’s a great pen, it’s got some weight to it and feels really nice. Also the bolt action feels nice to pull. It’s also nice that you can buy new cartridges in bulk, great for people who write a lot with a pen. Great heavy and smooth pen.

Quality pen.

Excellent Quality. Writes very smoothly. Good weight, well built.

Solid

This pen is very solid. That being said, it is a certain rugged beauty about it as well. I measured the depth/thickness of the steel near the mechanism and found that it is just shy of 1/10". This would add some heft to the pen, however, the carbon fiber barrel does offset the potential weight from it if it were solid SS. The tip is also heavy creating a well balanced pen. The surface is very smooth, almost detracts from the ease of which it writes, almost. The ink cartridge supplied dispenses ink evenly and smoothly. Anticipating the same with the replacements. I would recommend purchasing a batch of replacement springs, since the cartridges may not come with springs, a necessity for the mechanism to function correctly. I could foresee occasionally dropping one in the trash with the empty cartridge.  This is now my new favorite EDC pen.

Wow this is one stout pen

This is a great looking pen and it has some serious heft to it. Nevermind using it as a blunt force object in a fight if you need it, you can throw this at someone and do a good bit of damage. But because of the weight it'll take some getting used to when writing for prolonged periods. The regular ballpoint insert isn't really my thing, so I've already replaced it with the Bastion gel insert. Unfortunately the Pilot G2 Gel refills won't fit in the barrel. Overall it's a great pen so far that feels like it'll last forever and the bolt action is great to fidget with when you're bored.
