Tactile Turn Side Click Review - A Standout Machined Pen?

[@waynegreen7634]

The material is worth it. I got the zirconium side click and it's my all time favorite. I prefer not to even tell people how much it cost because I just get made fun of.

[@WhiteVaille]

Really love the looks of this! I think you showed it in a previous video, so I'm glad to see your actual review now!! I don't need a $100 pen, but if I did, this looks like a fantastic option. I really like the side release, haven't seen one of those since I was a kid, I think. Early 2000s.

[@unsharpen]

Yeah, this reminds me of my Fisher Space Pen, but I prefer the action on that. And yes, good call. This was in my "pens I'm writing with" video a month ago

[@WhiteVaille]

@@unsharpen Oh yeah, those do have a side release, don't they. But if they don't take a standard refill, I'll pass. Will rewatch your review! Thanks!!

[@jlspellman1977]

I’m so happy to see this review from you. I own a few of their pens and enjoy them. I do not much care for the click of this pen. It isn’t satisfying to me as the f701 from Zebra. If you want to review a TiScribe Bolt, please let me know and I can send you one for review. I think you’ll enjoy it. It is superb in my opinion. ☺️

[@dashsunil]

Cool machined pen with the texture. Good for people who work in factories or so. 😊

[@-----REDACTED-----]

To me the tactile turn side click is currently the perfect space pen… The AG7 and CH4 are just too slippery for my taste, yet I like side click pens that are able to take G2 refills…

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

They are way too thick but I’m really glad they came out with a slim version. I sold my OG one and got the slim and it’s the perfect size.

[@jasonl8079]

Been waiting for this day

[@michaelmelling9333]

It's a beauty. I'm to be delivered a Bastion in titanium but might have to get this one, too Thanks for the Review!

[@kroppotheclown6288]

after a year... how is it holding up? btw, what brand is that pen @ 0:48 - 1:00?

[@realprabhudutta]

Definitely on my wishlist, I NEED TO GET THIS!

[@davidblack8174]

I just ordered a nautilus, can’t wait to get it.. loved the Maxmadco bolt action cameo! I’ve been using mine exclusively for years!

[@unsharpen]

Nautilus looks quite cool. I almost got one

[@KristopherCost]

Great review! I agree, the texture of the milling is the best part of the pen, hands down. It's a pleasure to hold. My mechanism on my Side Click Standard is a little clunky too. I am willing to chalk that up to a titanium on titanium interaction called "galling." Many titanium knives design metal on metal interfaces with steel instead of titanium to prevent this.

[@unsharpen]

Good call on the "galling" -- makes total sense though I'm just learning the term now (thank you). This would is the same reason why you'd see brass used in a bearing, because it galling resistant.

[@KristopherCost]

@@unsharpen Aye, brass is great for that. If you haven't seen it, Tactile Turn has an explanation / breakdown of the side-click mechanism: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haO7eYt3YrSZa6c -- it turns out it's really simple.

[@johnrambo9400]

I have 4 of these. But I told them to smooth the grooves which they do for a fee.

[@syedafahd]

I was waiting for you to upload this since you said you would in your last ep of “what i’ve been writing with” i like it. But i just bought The Lamy Aion Ballpoint pen a few weeks back after watching your review of course. After some time maybe. But i am a little more inclined towards Ti Arto Edc since that one can take any refill. I am confused. Great video again. Good work as always. Thank you. 👍🏻🙌🏼

[@humanfirst11]

If you really fancy a Titanium pen, you can check out the Bastion bolt action in solid Titanium, takes Parker G2 style refills and "only" $60! 👌😊💵

[@Zordy21]

Let's have a faceoff with that Bastion vs the Refyne EP1!

[@lightinthedark_]

Should check out the Sunderland Machine Works Mk1 if you want to try a lightweight very comfortable machined pen.

[@unsharpen]

Thanks. Been trying to find a used one. I don’t love the look of the pen but people do seem to love it

[@carlosarzate9808]

Hello. How good is the grip with those little grooves? Which one would you recommend more for someone with sweaty hands? This or the pilot s20?

[@unsharpen]

Probably this. The grooves are grippy where I could see the s20 wooden grip getting slick

[@carlosarzate9808]

@@unsharpen Thank you. I was afraid that being so small the grooves would not provide good grip

[@ZPEYM]

I ordered one of the nautilus limited edition variants of this pen

[@unsharpen]

Oh yea that one looks cool

[@lincmerc1581]

As much as I love pens, I just cannot force myself to spend that much money on one. Nice looking pen. I've noticed that most modern pens have gotten thicker barrels. I prefer thinner.

[@unsharpen]

That's a completely fair position to take. There are so many good pens for less. But this is machined out of a pretty big chunk of pretty expensive titanium and all that, so at least I know there the money is going!

[@herbcraven7146]

I'd agree. Considering how nice the Parker Jotter looks for about 15% of the cost, and that it takes the same refills, it's hard for me to want to spend the extra money on a boutique writing instrument. Beautifully machined and quite stylish, though. A+ for craftsmanship and design.

[@kozmo7]

Thank you very much!

[@theenavybluemonster]

I prefer the Bolt Action but still really like the Side Click.

[@unsharpen]

Yeah, I think the bolt action pens will continue to be the most popular ones from makers like this.

[@ichirofakename]

Beautiful pen. Personally, I bought a different solid titanium fountain pen (TiiLiner) for what I for me was a premium price ($70). My considered opinion is that titanium is not worth it. I think I'd rather have stainless steel. Thanks for the review.

[@unsharpen]

Thanks for sharing! TiLiner has that blunt front end that I just don't like the looks of.

[@humanfirst11]

Agree with you about the Titanium vs stainless steel point, I would also prefer to have stainless steel because it would have more heft to it than titanium, also cheaper!

[@ichirofakename]

@@humanfirst11 Possibly prettier too.

[@ichirofakename]

@@unsharpen For me it's the ultimate stripped-down-to-essentials pen. Well, MY essentials anyways.

[@Inazarab]

Are Rotrings considered machined pens?

[@unsharpen]

No

[@bjdunne5113]

The bolt action clip seems so much nicer.

[@genoedcknifecollecter1538]

I love it in copper

[@humanfirst11]

I wanted to buy this pen for the longest time really, but I realized that $100 is only because of the use of Titanium, but that shape and style is not that impressive...I would rather buy a Ensso Italia fountain pen! Thanks for the review!

[@unsharpen]

Fair enough! I prefer the looks of this to the Ensso, but to each his own!

[@syedafahd]

Which one do you think is better? This or Ti Arto? I mean both are machined, Titanium, middle sized pens. Almost the same price tag.

[@unsharpen]

Probably this one. Ti Aarto wasn't my favorite.

[@humanfirst11]

Dunno why but your voice sounds different!

[@unsharpen]

Aftereffects of a cold

[@yeahbuddyhuh3702]

Dude i have same pen with tactile from plastic for 15 cent.Just you pay for materials and nothing else :(

[@jordanquinley2471]

Too expensive, too fat, too heavy, too uncomfortable, but looks really cool. Yup, it's just another machined metal pen.

[@FlyTour69]

Too heavy? The titanium short I bought feels pretty light in the hand.

[@texasforever5776]

The bolt action is the best.....I've 2 with another one on the way.

[@bugrilyus]

I hate that chunky look. Not for my taste

[@unsharpen]

Kinda comes with the territory with these machined pens.

[@bugrilyus]

@Unsharpen IJ instruments are machined too, but they are quite good looking I say. Well it is just thr outsidr of it that is machined but hey, I think the makers should put a little design in these pencils. Is it too much to ask?

[@MinMinzemi9200]

Helloo

[@unsharpen]

Hi!

[@Thesusoperator]

mechanism is very gritty. very disappointing

[@deejieweejie815]

👎Disgusting! Too many ads for your channel and right in the middle of your sentence. I’m out!

[@dbcooper1509]

The last three "metal" G750s all have broken, surprisingly quickly, in the clicking part. This thing is bulletproof. Titanium is the way to go. I also bought their bronze pen thinking i wanted the extra weight but the titanium is heavy enough and the bronze REEKS of pennies.
