Turned from the same copper bar stock as the pens.
A small machined bead that gives a knife, a flashlight, or a zipper pull something to grab. Tactile Turn makes these in house in Dallas out of the same materials they turn pens from, and each one ships with a length of American made paracord.

Copper Will Not Stay Bright
This bead arrives the color of a new penny and does not stay that way. Copper darkens as it is handled, and on a bead that gets touched every time you draw a knife, it darkens fast.
That is the reason to buy it. A copper bead a year old looks nothing like a new one, and no two end up the same because no two get handled the same.
What a Bead Is Actually For
A lanyard turns a pocket knife into something you can pull out without digging, and the bead is what your fingers find first. On a flashlight it gives you a way to hang it. On a zipper it keeps a cold or gloved hand working.
Made in Texas
Tactile Turn machines everything in Dallas, Texas. Will Hodges started the company turning pens on a lathe and it has stayed a machining operation rather than a brand that outsources.
We Toured the Shop
The Great American Knife Tour™ visited Tactile Turn and Tactile Knife Co. in Texas and did a full shop tour.
If you want to see the shop, the machines, and the people behind the work, it is worth a watch.
