My foray into the world of glass dip nib pens has surprised me as much as anyone. Turns out, they are fun and functional stationery items, good for quick ink testing or longer letter-writing sessions. I have one J. Herbin Round Glass Dip Pen to give away this week, in the Turquoise colorway, so read the rules below and enter away!
Tactile Turn: Machined in Texas, Designed to Last a Lifetime
Chances are you’ve heard the name before, but for those not familiar, Tactile Turn is a Dallas-based machine shop founded in 2012 by Will Hodges.
Their all-metal pens are machined from premium materials like Titanium, Copper, Bronze, and Zirconium and come in 3 lengths (Standard, Short, and Mini) which are compatible with different styles of ink refills.
Whether you choose the popular Bolt Action Pen, the Side Click, or either of the Slim versions, all of their pens come with their subtle, signature texture and a fidget-friendly mechanism – perfect for making a statement around the office or as a thoughtful, practical gift.
Everything Tactile Turn sells is designed, machined, assembled, and shipped in house (which is something you don’t see everyday) and comes with a Lifetime Warranty. And if you want to make it extra special, add on custom clip engraving or a Titanium Damascus accent.
You won’t be disappointed.
My thanks to Tactile Turn for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
Thank You Orlando!
The 2022 Orlando Pen Show was fantastic. It was a whirlwind of travel for me, but completely worth it. I’m still decompressing from the event, but I’ll have plenty more to say over the coming weeks.
Tomorrow at 10 a.m. Eastern on Twitch I’ll begin breaking down my show haul, which was impressive even for me! I have an interview with C.Y. from Tokyo Inklings and Tokyo Station Pens coming up on Wednesday’s Pen Addict podcast, and Myke returns next week to further break down the Orlando show.
It’s been a busy month here at Pen Addict HQ, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am running a bit behind on emails and shipping, but I should have everything caught up this week, including a big update to the St. Jude raffle. Thanks for your patience!
