Overview
The Bolen is The James Brand's inaugural twist-retractable pen, meticulously crafted from durable 6061 aluminum. Its unique two-handed twist action ensures secure retraction, preventing accidental deployment whether on your desk or in your pocket. Featuring a precision-machined barrel with a thinner, more ergonomic 0.375" (0.95 cm) diameter and a length of 5.125" (13.0 cm), along with a matching machined 6061 aluminum pocket clip, the Bolen offers a sleek and minimalist aesthetic that complements any desktop or pocket carry. Twist pens are revered for their smooth and silent operation compared to the familiar 'click' of click pens, offering a more refined way to interact with your daily writing instrument. Weighing a mere 0.8 oz (22.7 g), the Bolen’s lightweight durability and satisfying twist action make it hard to put down. It comes equipped with a high-quality black Schmidt 9000 EasyFlow (Parker-style G2) ink refill for an ultra-smooth writing experience. This also means you can easily customize your Bolen, as these widely available refills come in a variety of ink colors and line sizes.
