Titanium with a twist
The Bolen is our first twist-retractable pen. Its two-handed twist action ensures it will never deploy by accident on your desk or, worse, in your pocket. Featuring a precision-machined 6al-4v titanium barrel with a thinner, more ergonomic diameter, along with a machined 6al-4v titanium pocket clip, the Bolen complements any desktop or pocket. 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. The Bolen’s lightweight durability and satisfying twist action make it hard to put down. It comes with a black Parker-style G2 ink refill for an ultra-smooth writing experience. This also means you can easily customize your Bolen, as these refills are widely available in a variety of ink colors and line sizes.

A Twist of the Wrist.
Twist pens are great for daily carry, as they are very quiet (quieter than a standard click-pen) and have a bit more of a refined feel in the mechanism. Not having an “out-the-top” actuator can help prevent the leaks that can occur with a standard click-pen when they are accidentally depressed, which can be standard fare if you are often fishing around in your pockets. The twist mechanism also provides for a more minimal aesthetic with less “stuff” sticking out of your jeans.
Choose Your Poison.
The Bolen uses widely available Parker-style G2 ink cartridges; these are the same cartridges that we use in our Burwell pen. This is one of the world’s most popular refills, meaning you can find them nearly anywhere, in a variety of nibs, sizes and colors. The Bolen ships with a oil-based 7mm medium black ballpoint refill; we keep these refills in stock at TJB.com.
Details Matter.
We are obsessed with details here at TJB, and the Bolen didn’t escape our attention in this regard. From the bead-blasted titanium finish, to the paint-filled electric moss degree mark on the top, to the seamless design and machined texture, we came in close and worked through all of the little things; it’s the culmination of the little things that matter in the end.
