We'd been thinking about doing a Clip Action (internally referred to as the "Clip Actuated Bolt Action" or CABA) for a while but couldn't come up with a new or interesting way of doing it that was distinct from all the other pens out there. Then, some time in late 2025, we had the idea of a milled and bent titanium clip with a relief cut

The clip action needed some getting used to but it is satisfying to use. After some heavy use the mechanism is really smooth. The pen body is also robust and feels great in the hand.

Clip Action
I’ve used the bolt action and side click for so long, the clip action felt awkward initially. After a week or so, the clip is becoming my go to. I’ve got the clip action to where it feels like second nature and I’m loving it. The movement feels smoother than the bolt, and just as satisfying. I went with the machined finish and think it looks more executive desk friendly than the bolt. If an anodized version comes out in green, I will for sure pick up another.

Clip Action Pen
I tried to replace the refill with a Fisher Space Pen refill with extensions/spacers but I could no get it to work.
I did replace the refill with a blue ink extra fine refill.
I like the clip action.
