Off Grid

One of the best pens ever

It’s nice to know American production still works. Great pen, feels good in your hand while using, looks awesome, plus I can’t stop fidgeting with the side button. Good job Tactile Turn.

The soft matte body truly looks like stone and contrasts with the metallic copper tip and cap. The whole pen’s cerakote finish offers a hardened protective layer but isn’t immune to scratches—the lighter colors of the body do show wear when carried with other gear rubbing against it. Not a huge problem for me, but notable for collectors. The clip is by far my favorite part, with deep topographic engravings taken from the Guadalupe Mountains in Texas. The side click mechanism is ergonomic and simple to use. The short size is great for a wide variety of refill compatibility, but the included black medium Schmidt ink leaves a bit to be desired. Again, all subject to opinion. Overall, I think the Off Grid side click pen is an absolute winner for camping/off-roading/overlanding enthusiasts who love a premium-feeling tool. Sure, spending $150 on a pen is crazy to most people, but having an heirloom piece that can be used practically on an everyday basis is really neat to have.

It feels so good in my hand

A product with a high level of finish, The fine roughness allows for a comfortable and pleasant feeling in the hand. Allows for continuous writing without stopping. I will add that the pen in its long version is a little heavy for everyday writing, but its overall qualities make me approach it every day anew.
