In this video we explain how to use your BOLT retractable nib fountain pen. The first part of the video shows how to use the ink converter. The second part, explains how to change the silicone seal. The last part, explains how to install the optional clip.
BOLT is our new bolt-action retractable fountain pen crafted in grade-5 titanium with an innovative air-tight silicone mechanism at the tip.
AIR-TIGHT MECHANISM
In the following video, we explain the air-tight mechanism that seals the nib from exposure to air when the pen is closed/retracted. There is a silicone seal with an 'X' cut that allows the nib to go through and naturally seals off when the nib is retracted. The mechanism has been tested for over one year and it allows the nib to remain wet for months.
BOLT-ACTION OPERATION
For quick, one-hand operation, our pen relies on a bolt-action mechanism in which a crown at the end of the pen is pushed forward to extend the nib. As soon as the crown is moved away from the lock position, the spring automatically retracts the nib. This simple solution is ideal and has minimal components.
GRADE-5 TITANIUM
BOLT is entirely precision-machined from grade-5 titanium for durability and lightness.
INTERCHANGEABLE NIBS / INK CONVERTER
BOLT comes equipped with an ink converter for bottled ink. Its nib system is interchangeable and nibs in fine point and medium point will be offered. At the end of the campaign, during the survey, backers will have the option to select their desired nib and purchase additional nib systems.
SPECIFICATIONS
Length: 131 mm / 5.15"
Width: 9.5 mm / 0.37"
Weight: 22.3 g / 0.78 oz

How long are the silicone seals expected to last?

Another fun ensso offering! My Italia Copper is still one of my favorite pens.

Awesome, looks great! Also very cool the nib can rotate to the position you want.

@NauzerMistry 2 месяца назад

Thanks for this video. Look forward to the pen's delivery.

I received my two pens yesterday! I ordered a fine and a medium because impulse control isn't my strong point. I love them. The medium wrote smoothly and beautifully out of the box. I'm having trouble with the Fine nib, though. It's very dry and prone to skipping on some strokes. If I hold the pen vertically to the paper, or press harder than normal it writes, but with a lot of feedback - it feels like a just-sharpened pencil. I haven't examined the nib under magnification yet or used micro mesh, but I tried Doug Rathbun's "7 steps to inky happiness" technique without much effect. I guess it's time to break out the microscope.

Not helpful to your situation, but I got mine with a fine nib, and it writes very smoothly, and almost too wet. I'm using iroshizuku ink, which is pretty wet by itself, but it doesn't feel dryer than most of my other pens. Although, I have to admit, that the nib feels like a medium nib in every way, so I'm wondering if I might have received the wrong one. It writes roughly like a 0.7 pilot gel pen.

At 4:06, you say make sure the "Concave" portion of the seal goes in first, but the video shows the seal with the bulge facing outward towards the pen tip. Wouldn't that be the "Convex" portion goes into the pen tip first then ?

When I retract mine, the feed retracts, but the non stays behind. Any tips?

@leasimleija1323 Месяц назад

Same thing happens to one of mine (the EF nib). I contacted them today 7/30 via one of the "contact us" links from their email.

@amontaval Месяц назад

DId you put the spring back in?

@KF7UCK Месяц назад

I put ink in mine and it now works fine. I guess it just needs lube.

@markhutton9372 27 дней назад

Received today. Disappointing is the word. The button knob edges are really sharp, and mechanism very tight and slow to retract, and when actuating requiring very firm pressure by thumb which is not pleasant due to sharp machining finish of the button. Why not just make it round and smooth I wondered since the tread doesn’t really add any additional value. I’m hoping frequent use will loosen the mechanism but doesn’t make me want to pick it up often.

@rsinger2597 27 дней назад

Yeah I still love the pen but notice same issues. There was a note in an update I think that the pen will be stiff at first. After a while the titanium will smooth out, and the rubber seal may loosen, so I have hope the action will improve. The knob is defo sharp. I may take some micro mesh or a needle file and smooth the edges out. Overall unique and well made pen though, especially for a v1.

@NavalBand 20 дней назад

@@rsinger2597 Agreed was very disappointed that my pen doesn't retract as smoothly (at all!) when I release the bolt mechanism. Nib just stays extended and I have to push the pen against the paper. Grr... any tips you've discovered?

@rsinger2597 20 дней назад

@NavalBand I'm trying to figure out if rotating the nib or silicone seal may help... since the seal has 4 little flaps, the nib may slide easier if it's aligned with 1 flap instead of pushing in between 2. Not sure yet thoufh haha. I've been hoping the seal will loosen a bit, and metal smooth out a little, so the nib doesnt stick but not much improvement yet.

@NavalBand 20 дней назад

@@rsinger2597 i’m wondering whether a stronger spring might do the trick to push the nib back into the tube? Then I suppose it might be too strong for comfort when deploying the nib out.

@rsinger2597 20 дней назад

@NavalBand yeah I thought of stretching the spring out a bit which would make it push harder, but that'll be the last resort since it's already fairly strong when extending the nib. Maybe I'll try cutting/stretching out the seal or boiling it or something to weaken it because the nib sticking there seems to be the main problem.
