First offered on Kickstarter, Bastion Bolt Action Pens and Pencils are beautifully crafted from high quality materials, making for a line of writing instruments that are equal parts luxurious and practical. Our recommendation, the Carbon Fiber and Stainless Steel Bastion Bolt Action Pen, is no exception. This pen is a step up from the bestselling stainless steel only option, while priced below the more expensive Titanium pen. Carbon fiber is rarely used in pens due to its high cost and manufacturing complexity, but Bastion is no ordinary pen company. They managed to find a way to produce a cost-effective carbon fiber barrel without sacrificing quality or style. The result is a pen that performs, with a solid weight and a buttery smooth glide. Reading the reviews, customers are often blown away by the quality they get for the price they pay. Bastion Bolt Action Pens aren’t necessarily cheap, but they cost less than half of what you’d pay for a more famous executive pen like the Montblanc Meisterstück. If you’re looking for a top quality pen without spending a fortune, the Bastion Bolt Action Pen is the way to go. Whether for yourself or as a gift, you can’t go wrong with a Bastion.
