ZDNET's key takeaways The Ridge Bolt Pen's starting price of $59 is less than when I bought it, but it's still a fantastic gift for the writer in your life.
It features a grippy design that makes handling a breeze, and the ink moves smoothly across paper.
Of course, the one and only caveat with the pen is its price, but I've found it to be well worth it. View now at Amazon

I understand that everyone's taste varies, which very much applies to writing utensils. You might prefer a fine point or maybe a medium point. Your penchant may lean toward very thin pens or thicker barrel types. Maybe your preference is for "clicky tops," or you'd rather twist. And, of course, not everyone even bothers with pens and pencils these days. If you do, I want to draw your attention to a pen I've found to be an absolute delight to use and show off.

That pen is The Ridge Bolt Action Pen. Over a year ago, I decided to treat myself to the carbon fiber version of this pen, and I found that all other pens pale in comparison. It's the perfect size for me; it's got a great grip, the ink flows smoothly, and the bolt-action is not only cool but keeps the ink from getting on things it shouldn't when the tip is retracted. On top of that, the carbon fiber barrel is a thing of beauty.
When I purchased this pen, the price was around $129. Now, The Ridge sells it for a more affordable $89, with the non-carbon fiber iterations going for $59. There's also the gold-plated version for $125. No matter which version you select, you'll find it to be your go-to pen for all occasions. The Ridge Bolt Action Pen makes writing checks to the US government less painful.
