Great to see a review about the Ultem! I've been a big fan of the metal Bolt Actions (copper and zirconium being my favorites) and I think the Ultems are a great addition. I knew about the slight increase in diameter and didn't think I'd notice, but it is noticeable and really works with the light weight of the ultem material.
Quick question…when looking at the bolt, does it angle slightly forward toward tip of pen on the piston? What I mean is… it’s not mounted 90* to the piston? Just curious, thx
I’ve been in the fence about buying one of these. In your opinion, is it worth the price tag? I don’t mind dropping the money is the quality is worth the money. It would get carried every day.

I think the ultem is Short size 5’1” and not the mini. Waiting for it to be available again in their website.
nice review! i really appreciated the ultem trivia :)
Oh! Thanks for the kind words 😊
You can get the metal pens in bigger sizes to get more refill options too. Thats not really a strength of the ultem pen.

It could just be a parallax effect due to me using a macro to shoot the photo. In real life it’s “nearest makes no difference” 90° to the piston.

I 110% do! I think the quality is top tier and the material has been shown in multiple industries to be extremely durable.
Clip on my ultem pen has zero play.
