RETRACTABLE NIB FOUNTAIN PEN
In the world of fountain pens, there are very few offerings for a retractable nib. BOLT is our new bolt-action retractable nib fountain pen crafted in full copper with an innovative air-tight silicone mechanism. Copper will patina over time. This patina can be removed with any copper cleaning products.

AIR-TIGHT MECHANISM
We developed an innovative air-tight mechanism that seals the nib from exposure to air when the pen is closed/retracted. There is a silicone seal with an 'X' cut that allows the nib to go through and naturally seals off when the nib is retracted. The mechanism has been tested for over one year and it allows the nib to remain wet for months.
BOLT-ACTION OPERATION
For quick, one-hand operation, our pen relies on a bolt-action mechanism in which a crown at the end of the pen is pushed forward to extend the nib. As soon as the crown is moved away from the lock position, the spring automatically retracts the nib. This simple solution is ideal and has minimal components.
FULL COPPER
BOLT is entirely precision-machined from full copper bars. Copper will patina over time. This patina can be removed with any copper cleaning products.
INTERCHANGEABLE NIBS / INK CONVERTER
BOLT comes equipped with an ink converter for bottled ink. Its nib system is interchangeable and nibs in fine point and medium point will be offered. At the end of the campaign, during the survey, backers will have the option to select their desired nib and purchase additional nib systems.
