Paynes Always Write, A Pen Stroke Above.

Having been given the opportunity to review a custom made pen I jumped on it. Being a product reviewer I am constantly taking notes and writing drafts so after he showed me the pen he was making I was pretty stoked. It’s a bolt action pen! You read that correctly it works like a rifle bolt to move the ink cartridge in the writing position. Needless to say, it is pretty neat and not very common to see around. The grip part is a nice piece of wood that he worked to fit in the center section and definitely found the most ideal grain to display.

Now the mechanical parts of the pen is a kit he doesn’t produce those in house but the wooden center piece is all him. While I was talking to my father about it and showing it off to him he told me that you can tell a lot about a man by the type of pen he carries. He proceeded to tell me a bunch of different types of stereotypes. A man of distinction is going to carry a distinct pen and this bolt action pen definitely pegged me to the T. He also makes non-weapon related hand turned wood pens as well.

After talking to him for a few weeks I discovered it is a lot harder than I had originally thought to turn these centers of the pens. He started telling me about the process of wood turning and choosing the right grain for ideal eye appeal and strength. I would have never known how much thought and effort goes into making one but he is very passionate about what he does. You can definitely feel the quality while writing as well as it doesn’t get snagged on paper like some pens. It gives you solid and continuous pen stroke all the way through.

Although he is just getting started you can already tell his quality control is absolutely top notch. He is also wanting to expand into making other types of things like Christmas decorations and bowls, etc. He does some really solid work and somehow manages to keep his price very reasonable at $35 for this particular pen and his slimline pen is running at $20. These would make amazing gifts year round for friends and family so definitely check him out on Instagram @paynesalwayswrite and check out his process more in depth.
