ēnsso BOLT 2 Retractable Nib Fountain Pen (Sponsor)

My thanks to ēnsso for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.

Last year, ēnsso launched BOLT, its retractable nib fountain pen with a unique silicone seal and a bolt-action mechanism. The pen was very well received by the community due to its minimalist design, innovation, and reliability.

Last week, BOLT 2 was unveiled - a second generation offering that features a few improvements on the original design, including: micro-texture on pen body for better grip, stronger spring for a faster bolt-action, re-engineered internal components to minimize friction, and softer and more durable silicone seal.

The pen is machined from 6061 space-grade aluminum anodized in matte black. In addition, an optional matching clip was developed and interchangeable nibs are offered in various sizes.

BOLT 2 is currently available to preorder on Kickstarter at up to 50% discount of the retail price, with only 13 days left in the campaign. Go check it out!
