Tactile Turn Pens

Tactile Turn – Precision Pens with Unmistakable Feel

Tactile Turn makes pens that are meant to be carried, clicked, and enjoyed every day. Built entirely in-house in Dallas, Texas, their machining is sharp, the tolerances are tight, and their signature milling texture makes each pen instantly recognizable in hand.

History

Founded by Will Hodges in 2012, Tactile Turn began with a mission to make high-quality pens for everyday users—pens that were both functional tools and heirloom-quality objects. What started as a passion project quickly evolved into a standout brand in the world of machined EDC gear.

All Tactile Turn products are made under one roof using American-sourced materials, with every part—from the clip to the bolt to the spring—either made or hand-assembled by the team. Their commitment to in-house craftsmanship is rare in the pen world, and it shows in the final product.

What They Offer

  • Side Click: Their flagship bolt-style pen with a low-profile click mechanism and satisfying deployment.
  • Slim & Standard Variants: Offering options for those who prefer a more compact or traditional feel.
  • Seasonal Releases: Limited editions like the 16-Bit series bring fun, story-driven designs with top-tier execution.
  • Switch: A newer retractable pen using a bronze actuator mechanism for something a little different, but still unmistakably Tactile.

Whether you’re jotting notes at work or collecting standout examples of industrial design, Tactile Turn pens are a joy to use. Built in Texas, backed for life, and made to stand out in the best way possible.
