Fellhoelter pens come from custom knifemaker Brian Fellhoelter, and the TiBolt he machined is America’s original titanium bolt action pen and the pioneer of the modular pen concept. Every pen is CNC machined and finished in the USA to knife grade tolerances, with titanium torx screws for field disassembly and a spring loaded bolt that deploys the tip with the same satisfying action as the rifle mechanism it is named for.
The full size TiBolt runs 5.5 inches of titanium, body, tip, bolt, shaft, screws, cap, clip, and internals, with only the spring, O-ring, and refill excepted. Finishes run from sterile and stonewashed bodies through spiral and straight flutes to laser engravings in Dragon, Warthog, Stars, and WWII patterns, and Deluxe versions add milled grip texture and two tone treatments. Tips and clips swap across the Fellhoelter line.
The TiCkler trades the bolt for a traditional click built on titanium, stainless, and brass internals. The G2 line, including the G2 TiBolt and G2 TiCkler, shortens the format to under five inches for pocket carry. The compact TiNyBolt goes smaller still, and the Mark 22 wraps Sharpie marker components in machined titanium.
Titanium is the lightest, toughest, and lowest maintenance option. Copper adds writing heft and a living patina, brass brings traditional warmth that darkens the engraving as it ages, and zirconium wears a dark finish that polishes to silver on the high points. Our EDC pen materials guide compares every one of them.
Full size TiBolts ship with a Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 M and take Parker style refills, including Fisher Space Pen refills with the adapter. The G2 TiBolt and G2 TiCkler ship with a Pilot G2 Mini, and the TiNyBolt takes a Lamy M22. Our EDC pen refill guide lays out every Fellhoelter model next to the rest of our EDC pens.
