A bolt action pen is simply where the bolt on the side of the pen is used to push a refill cartridge down and lock it into place. It's an incredibly reliable mechanism and just as satisfying to click into place. A well-made bolt action pen can withstand millions and millions of cycles and last more than a lifetime.
First the body and slider are cut out of a solid bar of premium stainless steel independently in the USA. The clip is machined out of Grade 5 Titanium to give it the perfect flex and strength. For most manufacturers this would be “good enough” to assemble and ship. But, for Modern Fuel, we want to ensure the pencil is flawless, so we take it one step further.
Once we have the body and clip, we put them through a custom multi-step finishing process right here in San Antonio. This gives the pen its beautiful brushed look and ensures an exact fit between the two.
With the pen fully finished, we carefully inspect each part and ensure it meets our extremely tight standards for release. Many of the pieces are rejected, but the ones which pass are hand assembled by our small team and then fully tested.
Finally, we review every order and use a precision fiber laser engraver to customize pen bodies as requested. Then, your unique pen is hand-cleaned, inspected one final time to exacting standards, and packaged up for shipment.
