Game on.

It's time to power up the ol' CRT TV, dig your favorite gaming system out of the attic, and blow some dust out of the cartridges. The first Seasonal Release featuring our Pencil, the 8-Bit, is inspired by early video game consoles with a black and gray matte Cerakote finish, a bright orange clip with a deep-engraved pattern, and a red "reset" button for when you're done jotting down notes or run out of extra lives.

Available until June 27, 2023

In lieu of the typical metal commemorative card, we decided to have some fun and got custom 8-Bit tokens made by Osborne Coinage, America's oldest private mint who's been making coins, tokens, and more since 1835.

Borrowing from one of the most iconic gaming accessories of all time, we deep engraved a "ray gun" design on the clips before hitting them with orange Cerakote. The result is a subtle, retro look on an otherwise bright accent piece – perfect for staying up late and saving the world.

We added a "RESET" engraving on the pen body in 8-bit font next to the red reference bolt. Hit it you're done taking notes or run out of lives.

About Cerakote
Cerakote is a thin coating of ceramic that's applied to the surface of our titanium pens. It's abrasion, chemical, temperature, and scratch-resistant but not proof. Hard wear will still show on Cerakote but we love that it gives us the ability to put colors on our pens without adding serious weight or thickness.

    Out of this world, and everyone wants to use it!

    This pen has lived up to its name. Like Close Encounters, people are drawn to the glowing UFO and cannot resist investigating. Then they get it in their hands and write with it and next thing you know, you’re tracking down your spaceship pen. Maybe next a starship or US Rocket pen. Then again, that might be two pens to have to keep an eye on.

    Very pleased.

    Bolt action is very smooth, short size is just large enough in the hand, and the green accents really pop in all light conditions. Exactly what I hoped for.

    A must have when you live in New Mexico, the home of Roswell

    Around 1996 me own dear sweet mother gave me a UFO Perfect Pencil by Faber Castell, and I remember clear as yesterday hoping one day to find the perfect matching pen to go with it. Well, now thanks to a Tactile Turning, with a little buff and polish, I am the proud user of both a UFO Pencil and a matching Rowell Pen. My set is finally whole, it took 30 years but the moment that pen and pencil met they were the best of friends and now explore the universe of ideas together in a most joyous of revelries toward discoveries both here on earth and places far deeper into the night skies.

    Great pen

    Very well made and I love the alien theme. I appreciate how accessible refilling the ink is. It is a standard size and the ink it comes with is common enough that it isn't a problem to order more

About Seasonal Releases

If you're tuned into our Limited Release drops of exotic treatments and materials, you probably noticed that they tend to sell out pretty fast. Seasonal Releases are much easier to get your hands on because, instead of a set quantity, they're available for a set period of time. No fast fingers required or having to dip out of that important work meeting to try and snag one from your phone in the bathroom.
