Stainless Steel - SLIM Bolt Action Pen by Bastion®

Feels good in my hand. Got the one in black. I like the stainless vs the aluminum because it does not feel slippery in my hand. Will only buy the stainless from now on. The only negative is the cartridge. I use only Schneider Slider bold ink cartridges because they write boldly and smoothly. The problem is the Schneider cartridges are about .028" diameter. Bastion cartridges are .023" diameter. The bastion stainless steel barrel needs to be opened up to about .028". Consider going to Schneider cartridges in your pens. and make sure the fit of the barrel and tip are wide enough for Schneider cartridges.

This is a very well made pen that should last a lifetime. The pen is milled from stainless steel with great precision. Although this is the slim model, the pen is still quite weighty but too heavy. The pen is a pleasure to write with and the bolt action is fun to fiddle with .

Having bought the more thicker version I had to get the slim aswell oh and the technical pencil and the fountain pen is on the way, these are built to last and then some,
Quality pens from start to finish.

This pen stands up to pens that cost twice as much

This was actually the fifth Bastion Bolt Action Pen that I’ve purchased, and as was the case with the other four, I couldn’t be happier with it. While I use the Slim Titanium version of this pen as my everyday carry pen, I like to keep this Slim Stainless Steel version at home on my desk.Its beautiful sheen, authoritative heft, and flawless actuation make this pen a pleasure to have and to hold.
