    Just got this ten days ago. I got the regular length, and I found that the issue with only being able to position the pen in one position for writing wasn't an issue. Could be due to the length, or just the way I hold it, but I figured I'd mention it.

    Started with a huge leap to buy a Para 3 (first expensive knife). Now I am watching pen and pry bar videos. That escalated quickly! Videos are entertaining none the less.

    Great review - I’ve been thinking about both of these pens and your review has helped with making an informed decision. Thanks!
  • Thanks Nick. Just bought one, they did change it a little. Maybe they took your review to heart. Great vid.

    Got the regular short bolt in bronze and love it, going to collect all four variations
  • I have the Slim Bolt and Side Click in copper … both are awesome but I reach for my Side Click more often for work.

    Picked one up in exactly this spec. I had to change the spring on mine it felt very gritty.
  • @Vodkanipples
    I don't know if you have addressed this before but what about the direction for engagement and disengagement? I like to push the bolt toward the clip to engage, call it clockwise looking down at the pen. These are opposite and not my preference. Thoughts?
  • @serenitynow007
    Do you prefer writing with the slim or the standard? Also, it's clear that the slim pen clip can be removed. can the original clip be removed? Thanks for the review.

    The machined clip just looks more premium to me. I have a side click since 2020, and may add a bolt action. Hardware interference in the hand is a good point, & leads me to stay with the longer length option.
  • Yea, hope they make a slim version with the traditional clip shape but still offer a Damascus upgrade with a new designed clip just for the slim models. The new clip is nice on the side click pens since you need the top free for the pusher. Have you seen the Limited seasonal Stealth DLC pen for fall 2021?!
  • @jesus4life847
    Nick i need help! What size of O-ring that i need for the hinderer extreme duty pen? Please help me out! God bless you!
  • @mrsw916
    That clip is superior in pocket retention and anti-bending. Hate the side click, love the bolt action. Need to try the slim. Have bent out a BAM and bolt action short clip lol

    I wish they still did aluminum, the anodizing colors were nice.
  • @EVONLMessi10
    Great and valid points Nick!!✌🏻🙌🏻👊🏻 Love TactileTurn though
  • @DONK0
    Yes! I really wanted to like the slim because you can get the clip in timascus, but the clip style kills it. Why can't i get timascus clip on the full sized one?
