Tactile Turn Bolt Action Review
This isn't a disposable Bic. This is an heirloom. The texture (micro-grooves) provides grip without being abrasive.
The Action
The bolt mechanism is smooth, crisp, and incredibly fun to toggle. It's a stress reliever and a writing tool in one.
Verdict
If you write a lot, or just appreciate fine manufacturing, Tactile Turn is the benchmark for machined pens.
