As requested, here's my longer post on bolt-action #pens!

https://halffull.org/2023/01/10/a-survey-of-bolt-action-pens/

It covers 17 pens, along with some background on me and the world of pen #machining. It turned out longer than I planned, but I certainly had fun researching and then picking my pen.

@tjk thanks for the write-up. I'm not actually in the market for one, but I enjoy the examination of the options. Thanks for a few additional pointers to machining content on YouTube as well.

@jerickso Thanks! The process is sometimes more fascinating than the specific use. I'm a tool guy, I guess.
