We hate to play favorites when it comes to our ever expanding collection of Kickstarter pens, but we’ve always had a special place for pens with a bolt action. Blank Forces new EDC Pocket Bolt Pen is 4” of everyday usability that packs familiar features like brass or stainless construction, but you also get options like a round or hex barrel, keychain connectivity and an engraved ruler. The coolest thing about this pen, though, is the auto-locking feature built in to some of the versions which prevents the pen from deploying in your bag or jacket.
