First of all I was very impressed the the construction and build quality. The pen feels very stable and smooth, no play in the end of pen tip. The bolt action is very smooth and easy to operate and feels very solid when in the locked position. Of course it writes well as it uses the ever so popular Pilot G2 refills.
I was originally looking for a pen that was cosmetically appealing and wrote like a G2, Cross Edge, or Cross Click. I have all of those other pens currently but the unreliability and cost of the Cross inks was getting me. I would use a Cross ink in about a week and half (when they didn't explode all over before that) and they are not cheap at that rate.
So I put out the word on this forum for some help (shout out to velo) and I got many good ideas but this pen seemed to hit the spot. After doing much research myself I finally decided to buy one. I picked it up in person at there new shop in Mesa, as I was in the Phoenix area for a meeting. The main reason for choosing this pen was the novel idea of the bolt action, being very unique material appearance, and durability. I work the tire retail business and it is ruff on everything right down to pens so I needed something that would stand the test of time in my environment.
