The bolt-action pen has become a staple in the world of everyday carry, but The James Brand, an EDC stalwart known for its meticulous craftsmanship, just entered the game in a major way. Their new pen, aptly named The Kent, is a meticulously machined, undercover superstar that’s so good we can see it taking out the competition.
Crafted from 303 stainless steel, The Kent has a low-profile silhouette with a “buttery-smooth bolt-action deployment” that is hugely satisfying to fidget with. The bolt-action mechanism itself is a genius piece of engineering—it prevents accidental deployment while still being easily operable with one hand. It’s also pocket-friendly, durable, and uses a widely available Parker Style G2 ink cartridge.
The Kent joins a sterling lineup of predecessors from The James Brand, and it’s a perfect blend of form and function. It’s a premium piece of kit that feels great in your hand and looks even better. The Kent is available now in Silver and Black for $79.
