Tactile Turn Anso Pen - Titanium

Meticulously designed by Jens Ansø of Denmark, precision machined by Tactile Turn of Texas. Slim pens on their own are difficult and Jens wanted to go significantly slimmer than anything we had done before and utilize our Side Click mechanism, requiring plenty of iterations to get right. On top of that, the hexagonal body was a bigger challenge than expected. Most of the time, hexagonal-shaped pens are made from extrusions of aluminum or brass which is straightforward. Titanium hex is a different story and the suppliers that were willing to do it required huge orders which we didn't feel comfortable with knowing if the tolerances were even slightly off we'd be sitting on a lot of very expensive scrap. Instead, our solution was polygonal turning which involves timing a cutter and the rotation of the material just the right way to produce different shapes. I won't bore you with too many details but I will say that there were some serious barriers in changing DEEP internal settings in the machine that ran these that will keep most other machined pen makers from doing this. Credit to Kevin's incredible knowledge and experience to make this happen. This pen is a result of an amazing collaboration – Jens came up with something quite difficult and the team stepped up to make it happen. I couldn't be happier with the results and I know Jens feels the same way.
