The Most Versatile Bolt Action Pen Ever Made | Big Idea Design

[@Lilshrek22]

Man you just keep making me spend all of my money, good Job Taylor

[@Villainouspanda]

Pen's super awesome, but have you been bitten by a vampire?? 🤣🧛🏽‍♂️

[@freedom_fighters5564]

Looks like bite from a pistol slide

[@kaverjoe]

Or a snakebite

[@DrEgo-bz3wu]

Solution for pen wiggle: If your pen wiggles at the rubber rings, and the beginning of the tip ( this could be because you are using a longer refil, at least I do) I suggest you putting some basic cello tape around the rubber rings. Nothing fancy, just some tape. This fixes the pen wiggle, and it's a much more substainable solution than shoving the extra rubber rings you get down the tip...trust me. Also, it doesn't make any crinkling sound, like I though it would. Remember, the wiggle migth be the ink cartridge inside. TO SUM UP: Pen wiggles, put cello tape around the end of the barrel, migth take two layers. It's going to be difficult to screw in, but that's good. I hope I helped.

[@jamesberryman9893]

It is a very nice pen. I placed an order with Pete's Pirate Life this weekend and got one of his click pens that he did with Big Idea Design. It's out for delivery today so I can't wait to get home and try it out. Great video!

[@deykno87]

How is it

[@jamesberryman9893]

@@deykno87 It is extremely smooth all around. I definitely recommend any Big Idea Design products!

[@alexxander966]

I randomly got recommended this video. I don't know that much about pens. I didn't know there was such an interest in them. Fascinating. I want to buy a nice pen now

[@PitBot808]

That's exactly how I fell into this rabbit hole too

[@MichaelR-kl6hk]

Enjoy your channel. Have heard you say a few times using right handed stuff as a lefty doesn't really bother you, I'm the same; it's because the world is truly built for the right handed, left handed options are usually kind of crappy and gimmicky, that being said I have four Chris Reeves leftys, you should pick one up and give it a try, I think it will be a real eye opener.

[@lrodd247]

Watch out for them rattlers 🐍! 😉 Good job on Big Idea 👍

[@derrikjasper1283]

I've owned the ti arto edc for several years now and I absolutely love it still . I deal with paperwork everynight at work and use that pen daily .

[@Rob-py1tm]

Thanks for the explanation on the left handed bolt pen. The clip being so close would definitely bother me. I’m going with the dual sided click

[@vkilgore11]

Just backed it. Been looking for a pen that can support a Pentel EnerGel needle tip refill and I’ve finally found it.

[@SmokeyOwOs]

Ended up buying this one because of your discount code. Hopefully it gets here soon before my job transfer

[@creed0307]

I’ve backed for two pens as I can’t decide which finish to get ,also because I lost my pocket pro and miss the little guy , I hope video pushes up the backers to reach the stretch goal , I sure would like the timascus bolt👍

I just want to say you look considerably slimmer and healthier compared to even a year ago. It has motivated me to start taking care of my health more and watching what I eat, and I am sure the same could be said about many others.

[@BestDamnEDC]

That is awesome! Keep it up! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@caseG80]

Making fresh squeezed juice can change lives adding apple and 1/4 - 1/2 lemon with skin best to start out smaller amount but it can make a non tasty juice delicious especially when first getting into it. Quality juicers can be found on sites like offer up Craig’s list ect it’s one of those things people buy or receive as a gift and use a few times and never pull it out again. Good luck and have an awesome day cheers

[@joebosley5917]

Funny you should post today, I'm in the market for an EDC pen right now.

[@PoorMansCarry]

Thank you for this review, I wasn't sure what's the difference between 2👍🏼

[@patrickhandyside9490]

I just ordered the titanium brushed version, and the timascus clip to go with it. I can’t wait to get it!

[@mercurytoad]

Same here. I just ordered the blasted finish and the timascus clip. Did you get your yet? Thoughts?

[@patrickhandyside9490]

@@mercurytoad yep I have had mine for about a month now, and am extremely pleased with it. It is very hard to open with anything other than a reverse flick using the fuller but since that is my preferred way of opening it I don’t mind it is very smooth and nearly fall shut action, but the thumb studs are almost unusable with how I hold a knife, and the flipper will work with pressure but if you even touch the lock bar it won’t open so it is sort of awkward, the reverse flick is smooth and easy though and so much fun to do! The best part is the entire knife is absolutely stunning from every angle and matches great with my big idea co titanium bolt action pen with the timascus bolt and clip, as well as the killer lanyard I made with purple Diamond Paracord and two flamed titanium beads.

[@patrickhandyside9490]

Sorry mistook this for a comment about my new knife. I love the pen had it for about two weeks and it is awesome. I do wish it were a tad bit longer, another 1/4-1/2 inch in length would make it perfect and add that little bit more weight to the back end of the pen, the bolt action is pretty stiff too, but the quality is fantastic and the timascus clip looks sick, can’t wait for the full size clip to become available so I can order that too. The mini clip is ok but hard to get into a denim pocket.

[@mercurytoad]

@@patrickhandyside9490 haha I was asking for your thoughts on the pen sir, not your knife 😂

[@mercurytoad]

@@patrickhandyside9490 ahhh you got the mini version of the pen I see. The regular version is longer and depending on the length of the refill, can be adjustable to be long or short. But aesthetically I do like the look of your mini because the barrel is seemless and doesnt have the wider grip the regular has. Thanks for your impressions. Stoked to get mine.

[@GorggW]

Ya look great man, makes me wanna get in shape now.

[@UltimateEnd0]

What do you like better for fidgeting? Bolt or side click?

[@pamodousawaneh]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Greetings from the Gambia 🇬🇲 love your shows

[@Country4610]

What is the benefit or point of a bolt action pen? Just something different from a click?

[@Rickyrock13]

There’s also a lot smaller chance for it to get clicked and write in your pocket but it’s also fun!

[@michaelvoorhees5978]

And the fidget factor is so much better

[@lengmoua6861]

If dropped, less likely to drop the tip and bust the ball point... That's my current problem with click pens working in a cement floor warehouse...

[@ZuZaarr]

How pro 2a are you? My pen is a bolt action, and my pencil is semiautomatic.

[@QuixEnd]

I absolutely love my fountain pens and rollerball, but man I just don't understand the market for luxury item pens. It's like a prestigous gift for some c.o, but for daily use high quality writing a $30 pen is top notch. As a Kickstarter it's cool, clearly people are into it

[@timb4425]

I backed for the early bird....now just to decide which finish I want. What do you suggest out of the titanium, brass,or copper?

[@georgeriddell1975]

Taylor, it was nice to meet you today at the local coffee shop. You are as nice in person as you are on your videos. Appreciate what you are doing to help all us EDC people.

[@cfps66]

Hi, I may go back to working for the Fed Gov't and I'm wondering if you can put together a EDC line up that will get past/ through security. My EDC right now is a Tag Aqua Racer, Men Behind the Mission Wallet, Dominator DM3 Safety Glasses, Coach Prescription Glasses, SOG Blink, no pen, no light. The Blink won't pass so is there a pen/light that can double as a pointy sharp thing? ;)

[@Miamis4me305]

I backed this as soon as it was announced. Can’t wait to get it!

[@nivlekahm]

Cool like always dude

[@MrJozzyJoz]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who clicked the video hoping these were going to shoot bullets

[@Tardxan]

Who knew watching a video about pens would be like listening to a different language

[@crawfr3]

Which would you recommend between the Tacticle Turn and the Big Ideas Bolt Action Pen?

[@SimplicityEDC]

How different does the action feel on the Big Idea Design vs the Tactile Turn ones? Torn up between the two

[@SmokeyOwOs]

Ended up buying it. Its alot smaller than I thought it would be, but hopefully it works fine with the paperwork ill have to deal with at my new job Edit: might return it, it's a bit small to use for me, that and it bloody hurts to use the bolt.

[@imyourfriendright]

mini bolt or standard bolt action?

[@inukiroya]

Hmm, wonder if I should choose this or TT if I only use fisher or Schmidt. Kind of hard to compare looks and feel without actually seeing and touching them in person

[@Barry_Mcockiner]

I bought a CU click but I may as well have gotten the regular pocket pro because everytime I pull my EDC Click out of my pocket I have to twist the barrel to adjust the nib length or twist the barrel to get the click mechanism to work correctly, it’s very frustrating. I hope they’ve figured out a way to avoid this with the new bolt model.

[@d.mauldille1388]

The pen is mightier than the sword

Is there even one piece of plastic anywhere in that pen (other than the refill)?

[@happyrobot4720]

I have the Ti Click and was looking at the Mini Click to fit in a small pocket organizer. I have small hands so the mini wouldn't be an big issue. With a #PR4 Med refill like what's in a Fisher space pen how small would the bolt action pen get compared to the mini click?

[@robertwalsh5461]

To think about the things I authored with a cheap $1.29 box of pens.

[@freethinker5225]

Hey Taylor what would be a good pen that could fit in a leatherman pocketed sheath I have a streamlight microstream on one side and a bit extender on the other but I don't use the bit extender alot and I need a decent pen around 3 inches thats not too thin but not to thick and has a decent refill and a pocket clip would be nice but if it's the right size I don't think it'll be necessary

[@freethinker5225]

Also the microstream was a lil tight till I broke in the elastic on the sheath no it hold really well and not too hard to get in if it gives you an idea on size for the pen...

[@freethinker5225]

Around 4 in. Would work perfectly
