BOLT: Titanium Retractable Fountain Pen by ēnsso (Sponsor)

My thanks to ēnsso for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.

BOLT is the new retractable fountain pen by ēnsso. It is a grade-5 titanium pen with a bolt-action mechanism and a silicone seal at the tip. This new solution prevents the nib to be exposed to air when the pen is closed or retracted. The silicone seal has an ‘X’ cut that allows the nib to go through and naturally seals off when the nib is retracted. This mechanism has been thoroughly tested for over a year and keeps the nib wet for months.

BOLT is currently available to preorder on Kickstarter for $84 and it will be delivered in June.
