Ridge Bolt Action Pen - CNC Machined Everyday Carry Pen, Knurled Grip, Pressurized Refill, Manganese Spring Steel Clip, Compact Pocket EDC Pen with Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 (24K Gold)

The Ridge Bolt Action Pen feels like a precision tool that just happens to be a great pen. The CNC machining is excellent, with tight tolerances, a solid feel, and a bolt mechanism that operates with a crisp, satisfying action. It feels balanced and comfortable in the hand, and writing with it is genuinely enjoyable. The bonus is how fidget-friendly it is—the bolt action is almost impossible not to play with. Excellent build quality, great ergonomics, and a premium feel throughout.

I love these pens they work everywhere and last. I beat the cap out of these and they work amazing I wish I had every color!! They are the perfect weight, write smooth and last.

The pen itself is hefty and feels well built. The knurled surface provides just enough grip without being abrasive. The gunmetal finish is also subtle enough without being too boring. The only letdown really was the ink cartridge. It’s not as smooth as my cheapo parker pens. I understand it’s pressured, but I’d rather work with a gravity-assisted cartridge than have something that writes erratically. Still satisfied overall, though. Thanks.

This pen is for the right handed like me. Full titanium body but with weight behind it which I love. When I first got it, I could feel the metal grinding a bit when using the bolt action and I could hear the spring inside as well. Nothing a little grease couldn't fix. I'm a bit surprised they didn't grease it out of the factory but now it's very smooth and awesome to fidget with. Now the big question. Does it write well? Well I'm no pen connoisseur by any means but the answer is yes. It feels smooth to write with and the ink is pretty dark. It does not leak (so far) or bleed into the paper. I do enjoy writing with it very much. When I have to use other pens, I notice when they feel scratchy so this pen may actually turn me into a snob, lol. It seems the harder I push into the paper while writing, the darker the ink. It feels just as smooth (if not a tiny bit smoother) as the space bullet pen by fisher but with bolder ink. It looks great and for big hands like mine the extra width gives a bit more comfort. The position of the clip is adjustable so I can put it on either side of the bolt unlike some other pens out there. I do wish the colors were a bit more vibrant, the blue is not as bold as it looks in the pictures but it's not bad. Is it worth $105? If it lasts 20 years I would say yes. I have not had to replace the ink cartridge so hopefully that won't be a headache later. Apparently it may accept Parker refills so if that's the case I think it will be a pen I'll use for years to come. This does feel like a premium pen in pretty much every way.

Like the headline says it is a great shell of a pen. Like most of the review on her I have to agree the ink cartridge sucks!! BUT that is no reason to hate on the this pen. I bought the Titanium one because I was looking for a rock steady pen that will last for pretty much ever. The weight of the pen is hefty so it does not feel flimsy. The bolt action is so satisfying and great fidget toy when in deep thought. I personally do not write for hours and the weight might make it uncomfortable for that actually. I use it as a fidget toy that I drop near constantly and to draw out ideas on a legal pad and quick notes during meetings. For my level of uses it is perfect. Now back to the ONE draw back, the ink cartridge. Some people seem to be okay with it but I HATED it. It would not always write when I needed it to it would get patchy at times like stop giving ink mid letter I was writing. So why in the world did I still give this pen 5 stars you might ask? I bought a "forever" pen, the parts that are consumable (ink cartridge) do not matter to me. I just tossed the ink cartridge in put in one of the best ink cartridges I know of, a Fisher Space Pen refill. Now not only does the shell fit my needs perfectly and feels premium and it fits my favorite ink cartridge.

Pen has a nice feel and look. For the price I was expecting better quality on the coloring. One day in my pocket and already wearing off. Also the ink cartridge does not write well. Its an easy fix but for $65 you shouldnt have too. Ridge dropped the ball on this one. Good design but they went cheap with materials and it shows. Not worth the price at all. Now I know why it comes with a nylon sleeve. skip the sleeve and use powder coating or atleast a primer on the metal before applying paint.

Little hesitant on spending 90 bucks on a pen, but I'm really glad I did. This pen is a great buy. I carry it every day without an issue. The clip is durable, pen is solid, with a nice weight. Working in the field every day I needed a pen that won't break if I put pressure on my pocket and has a solid clip. This pen exceeded my expectations. Have bought other brands and this by far is the one to go with!

I have always been a huge fan of ridge products. I currently own three different ridge wallets, and now the ridge pen. The pen itself is an awesome design and comfortable to write with, but the ink cartridge included has a lot of issues and leaves you scribbling just to keep your pen going. There was a little to no information as to cartridge refills or options that may be better or what to replace with. I bought new cartridges that matched the existing pen cartridge that was in this when I got it and had the same issue. It is a nice pen, but if it does not write well, it eliminates the intended purpose. Hoping that manufacturer can give recommendations for other cartridges that may fit this because the current ones that come with it really devalue the product.
