Icefall
Icefall
Rated 4.8 out of 5 stars
612 Reviews
Exploration in icy conditions requires careful planning to survive the treacherous landscape. Inspired by the natural phenomenon when a glacier moves in a rapid, chaotic manner, Icefall's unique, marbled finish is a mixture of white, gray, and blue Cerakote meant to imitate the crevassed surface of its namesake. Light blue accents on the button and clip bring out the blue in the body while an iceberg icon engraving completes the look and reminds us that there's always more beneath the surface. Offered with an optional Titanium Damascus clip upgrade that's been acid-etched to complete the look. And for those concerned with our haphazard usage of unrelated places and formations like icebergs, glaciers, snowy mountains, and polar regions, we're reminded of a quote by Ernest Shackleton in a fireside chat with Sir Edmund Hillary – "Ice is ice."
Available from January 30 until March 28, 2024

What's an Icefall?
We debated for weeks whether to call it Glacier, Polar, or something more obvious but eventually settled on Icefall after reading about Hillary and Norgay's route to the top of Everest in 1953. Their first camp was below the Khumbu Icefall, a glacier moving up to 1.2m down the flank of the mountain each day – causing massive crevasses and instability.
Custom Cerakote Finishing
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.

My first Tactile Turn pen. Works great and looks amazing! Glad I was able to grab one of these one offs.

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.

Awesome pen!!!
- WPWesley P.Verified BuyerReviewingRoswell ShortI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars3 days agoVery 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.
- SMSeamus M.Verified BuyerReviewingRoswell ShortI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5 days agoA 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.

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.
