The INJECTOR Rapid Bolt-Action Titanium Pen (and dock) is more than just a mouthful. It’s a solid-titanium, heirloom-y, precision-tip EDC pen from L.A. startup Blank Forces. It’s minimal, durable, kinda special, and at 5.20 inches long, 0.35 inches thick, it fits the classic pen mold—a piece that’ll make those Don Draper-ian grandaddies proud.

No Blank Shots: One Rapid Bolt-Action Pen

That  CNC machining and solid, minimalist-savvy titanium composition mean the bolt-action pen isn’t just desk candy—it’s expensive desk candy.

How expensive? About a $130 MSRP for the base model, pops. And if the pen’s recent Kickstarter success is any indication (596 backers and $91,000 in pledge money), there’s a market for this sort of metal.

But is a single EDC pen really worth that type of coin, though? I dunno; read up on it and get back to me…

So, tell me — does a hundred-dollar trigger-action pen do anything for ya? If so, you can get your paws on one…eventually. At the moment Blank Forces are all-hands on fulfilling its Kickstarter orders. What a tease, I know I know. You can, however, request information about the pen’s forthcoming release by signing up here.

Patience, my penheads.
