Product Description

Sliders tend to fit better in shirt pockets without sticking out, while Gliders may be more comfortable for writers with larger hands Read More

Awesome pen
I got the brass in the shorter and I love it. The weight is perfect and the pen writing is super smooth.

Very nice looking pen
Photos don’t do this pen justice! What a really good pen, the quality and machining is on point. I have the copper version and the patina is looking great.

Good but spongey
I want to like this pen more than a 3 star rating. The body of the pen is fantastic, the tactile sensation is super cool, but the action is loose and spongey. Luckily there's a new version, which can be instantly differentiated by the new version having a flat top while the old version has a round top. Buy the new one!

I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a high quality writing instrument.
I really like the heft and weight of the copper and the subtle ridges make for a secure grip , I use this pen on a daily basis and in the few places that I go that frown on carrying knives ,I can carry this pen with the confidence of knowing that when push comes to shove, whatsoever starts it will be in for a very nasty surprise.

Love the material and the action. I went with copper and the weight has been perfect. Can't wait for the patina to develop. I have used it for quick notes as well as longer tasks and it has felt like an extension of my hand. Great product from Will.

I've only had it a day, but so far I am loving this pen!
I confess, I find playing with the little slide mechanism to be strangely satisfying when I'm sitting there staring at the computer or the paper and trying to collect my thoughts.
Aside from that though, I am discovering I love writing with it. I prefer a much finer line when writing and this pen definitely delivers that! It also writes very smoothly along the page without skipping or scratching.
My only real complaint, and I would probably knock off half a star for this, is that the ink smears. I'm a lefty and so my hand tends to drag across the page and I wind up with smudged writing. It's not BAD, I've certainly experienced worse, but it IS a bit disappointing for such a fine instrument. However, having said that, I still want to buy another one and have already put in a request for another drop of this pen.
I purchased the blue one and the color is GORGEOUS! A nice, bright, metallic blue, without being too shiny.

I already got an Orange Slider pen previously through Massdrop. It has been so amazing that I've ordered a second one so that I can have a blue ink and an orange ink pen.
I highly recommend these if you are looking for a great everyday pen.

This is a great machined rollerball pen with a clever alternative mechanism to other click or bolt pens. TT's bolt action is simple, smooth, and robust. It is comfortable in the hand. The Tactile Turned grooves add a bit of extra grip as well as character. The gray anodizing I chose is attractive and understated. My only suggestion would be to make one that can handle Energel, Cross, and Uni-ball refills without any modifications. Currently they must be shortened by about a millimeter. My ideal solution would be a longer section with a slightly smaller diameter opening to eliminate tip wiggle, as an Energel/Uni option. These could be sold separately so users can swap, similar to Karas' interchangeable fountain/roller sections on the Render K.

Awesome pen at a great price. I got the copper version after looking around for months for a copper pen that I could afford to buy. This one is everything that a copper pen should be! I would agree with other reviews that the top of the bolt action has alot of play, but it's not enough to bother me too much.
