The world’s first telescopic bolt action pen. Compact, addictive and made to last.

Story

 

  • Compact 100 mm closed (3.9 in).
  • Comfortable 135 mm open (5.3 in).
  • Lightweight 32 grams (1.1 oz).
  • Addictive, like really.
  • Solid full metal construction.
  • Grade 5 titanium and stainless steel (clip, screws, spring).
  • Reversible deep carry pocket clip.
  • Works with Fisher Space Pen refills.
  • Can be fully disassembled.
  • Spare parts will be available separately.

 

 

 

 

 

With a length of 100 mm (3.9 in) when closed it won’t bother you. Clip it to your pocket, drop it into your bag or put it into your jacket: it will easily find its place anywhere.

 

 

 

Just a tad bit longer than the refill when closed, Jet doesn’t waste space. With grade 5 titanium construction and a deep carry pocket clip, you won’t even notice it in your pocket. It only weighs 32 grams (1.1 oz).

 

 

The deep carry pocket clip makes Jet a joy to carry. It sits deep in your pocket and doesn’t get in the way. You can also unscrew the top screw and reverse the clip to accommodate for a right or left-handed grip.

 

 

 

 

 

Compacity doesn’t mean compromising on comfort! Jet can deploy to a standard length for comfortable writing. When opened, Jet unfolds to the full length of 135 mm (5.3 in) making the outer part an additional grip length.

 

 

 

The texture of the inside part adds a nice grip to the pen and makes this moving part resistant to scratches.

 

 

The pen was built around Fisher Space Pen refills as they are robust and allow writing in almost any situation. Furthermore they are short and slim for full size refills.

 

 

 

 

 

The deployment mechanism is designed to be fast and addictive. 

The bolt action lever is designed around fidget factor and ergonomy: operatable with any finger, it just feels right! All parts are precisely machined to allow for a smooth handling of the pen.

 

 
 
It will be hard for you to put it down again!

 

 

 

The bolt action lever is a time proven reliable mechanism that allows for easy and fast flicking open of the pen. The design is centered around sturdiness and fidget factor.

 

 

 

 

 

Let’s be clear: Jet is made to last!

 

 

The all titanium and stainless steel construction as well as the Fisher Space Pen refill makes it ready for any environment!

 

 

No glue! 

The entire pen can be disassembled (with the provided Torx key) for cleaning. Spare parts will be available, just in case.

 

 

You can fully disassemble the pen by unscrewing the lever screw. Inside the inner part sits the refill and the spring. The top screw can be unscrewed to reverse the pocket clip.

 

 

The tips of both the pen and the refill are protected when the pen is closed and all parts are solid enough to last a lifetime.

 

 

 

 

 

Jet has been designed, prototyped and tested with a strong focus on manual handling. Textures, lengths and diameters, stiffness of the spring, shape and width of the groove, angle of the tip… 

 

 

 

Everything was designed on purpose to deliver to you a perfect writing experience. It’s made for everyday carry. A lifetime companion is what we’ve made.
