Bastion is an appropriate brand name for a product that clings to a last-man-standing level of quality while keeping the price realistic. I purchased the stainless steel bolt action Bastion in black. The matte black finish is smooth and satisfying and surprisingly easy to grip. The bolt action is very close to perfectly precise; it's responsive to what feels like an appropriate amount of pressure, and the spring resists perfectly so that you feel like you are doing something significant. The bolt action is not loose at all, doesn't click clack around in the engaged or disengaged positions. The two bolts on the pocket clip are low-profile, clean looking, and precisely applied with no nicks or scratches that appear on other pens at this price point from sloppy machining. The native ink cartridge was not my favorite. The lines were a little too light and the tip a little too broad for my taste, but it wrote smoothly and it was easy for me to find a replacement that fit my taste (Ohto extra fine quick dry gel). The machining was virtually flawless. In other words, the bolt action and the seams are so smooth that I could not visually or tactilely perceive any imperfections. The tip fits on and off as if it were a solid single piece of heavy duty metal. The tip feels nice and heavy and lines up with an almost imperceptible seam that is free of any nicks or tell-tale flaws and gives the impression that you are assembling something like a bullet precise instrument.
Now let's talk about the weight, the density, and the diameter of the Bastion. These were the factors that I thought would throw me off it's scent. The weight is significant: 2.8oz. It's hard to imagine what that will feel like in your hand, but for comparison, I like to use Pentel Energels, Tuls, Zebra G-402s, and Uni-balls, and I can hold all 4 of those pens in my hand and it still doesn't equal the weight of this one Bastion torpedo. This stainless steel beast is heavy like a rifle barrel. And it's significantly more girthy than most pens as well. I thought these features would cause my hand to tire more quickly and cause my grip to work harder to maintain fine motor control. This simply did not turn out to be the case, despite my worries.
The Bastion feels like a machine. And the weight of that machine actually helps do some of the work for you. It rests in my hand at the right angle and the weight exerts pressure on the tip for me so that I don't have to press or push. I compare it to the traction control I get in heavier steel-body cars as opposed to lighter frame powerful engine cars. This Bastion Stainless Steel Black pen seems to reduce my writing fatigue and enhance my writing experience adding significance to my lines and satisfying tactile feedback to my grip. When I write with the Bastion it feels like I'm using a finely engineered machine to help do some of the work for me. Of course they offer lighter pen bodies, like the Titanium ones which I intend to try, but this dense stainless steel bullet of a pen feels good in my hand and gets lots of attention from my peers and coworkers as well.
I purchased my Bastion from the Amazon store, didn't get all the swag with it, but still got an impressive pen at the most competitive price in it's category. I own Graftons and Quills and Crosses and Parkers, but this Bastion pen, which is in the same price range of $35 to $50, outperforms all of those pens and feels as if it is in a whole other premium quality tier without having to charge the premium quality price.
The boxes have the same Applesque design as OLights or TWSBI fountain pens, with a high definition image of the pen on a sleeve and a black magnetic closure box. Just as satisfying to unbox as a fountain pen.
The pen and pencil themselves are gorgeous, gleaming, smooth, solid, heavy, pure stainless steel barrels; finely machined with careful attention to detail and seamlessly finished with mirror polish clips and bolt levers with strong, tactile operation. They are the writing utensil embodiment of steel with a satisfyingly notable heft.
Normally with fountain pens you just let the natural weight of your hand press the nib. With ballpoints you have to press a bit, but the weight of these combined with the smooth, willing flow of the ink cartridge makes it very nice to write with. The pencil uses a German 0.7mm Schmidt Feinminen System insert that screws into the head, which just makes it that much more mechanically intriguing, like any high-end mechanical pencil. If you prefer 0.5mm, you can buy one quite cheap from Amazon.
The girth and length of the standard pen is comparable to a typical sharpie or the length and weight of 2 1/2 aa batteries. I imagine the slim version may be more comparable to the F-701.
Bastion has done an exceptional job on these writing tools and their craftsmen obviously take pride in their work.
The bolt handle is threaded into the bolt itself and should be relatively easy to remove if necessary, though I've not had reason to try yet. Overall, the body is incredibly thick, making for an overall body diameter of almost 1/2". Being entirely stainless steel this means the pen is very heavy in the hand and pocket at 2.8oz. Great if you like heavy pens (I do) or not if you dont. There should be no worries about breaking it.
Lastly the pen uses ISO standard G2 refills, commonly called "Parker-type" refills, since Parker invented them. There's no worry about mistakenly using a Pilot G2 refill in it though: the way the nose-cone is drilled out the Pilot G2s simply will not fit inside, let alone the fact that Pilot G2s are longer than Parker types. The pen comes with an unmarked, generic medium cartridge in black. It seems to write better than my Space Pen, though my Space Pen (and refill) is almost 30 years old so that might be part of it.
The fit an finish on the outside was excellent, to the point that the line between the body tube and the nose cone is practically impossible to see. Looking through the pocket where the bolt slides it seems the interior finish is a bit rough though. Nothing problematic, the bolt still slides smoothly and freely, but the machining marks are more visible. For the price however I think it's acceptable. I have a $45 MachineEra Original in stainless steel and it has a better fit and finish inside and out, but it also costs almost twice as much.
What I like most is the simplicity of it. There are no finger grooves or knurling, no milled decorations, nothing other than a tastefully done, small, laser-engraved Bastion logo up near the clip. The pen does not advertise who made it, instead drawing attention by it's own merits and allowing you, the owner, to tell others what it is and where to get one. There is elegance in simplicity, and this pen executes it perfectly.
Overall it's a great pen, and for $25 it's an especially great pen. No regrets buying it.
