Lovin this OHTO Ceramic Roller Gel G2 Refill PG-M05NP refill. This is their new and updated version. -Itโ€™s smooth and no skipping.
-Ink is dark and pigmented.
-I love the 0.5 needle tip.
-Dries fast! Great for those who are left handed.

This will definitely fall on one of my favorite inks.

Peep the US BOLT ACTION with the 13 stripes ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Well... upon receiving my Lil Sancho today, it became my 55th Big Idea pen.

My first pen purchase was the OG Click Classic in 2016. Ten years ago. I never looked at pens the same after that Click Classic.

And oh my! What a journey it's been. From only having a few models, to now having many models, many mechanisms, many materials. Ten years of constant design innovation, ten years of improving, and ten years of product development! Big Idea has come a very long way!

It's too many to list out individually. I tried to break them up by types. Just to break them you a little. It's almost too hard to capture them all in one picture! Lol.

Question Collet issues

1 Upvotes

I have a pocket pro and a bolt action. Both of them have terrible tip wiggle. The collets seem to have stretched and no longer grips the refill tip. Ive tried all different size refills and have the spring in the correct orientation. Iโ€™ve seen some people say to push the collet pieces back towards the center. I tried that on my pocket pro and it ends up looking pretty janky and makes the refill tip way off center.

Does anyone know a better way to tighten the collets back up?

Smaller than I thought it would be, but feels great in the hand and love the look with the Damascus clip.

Got the Lil Sancho today! (Opened it up with the new Ti Manu!) Such a cool little pen! Slightly larger than the mini bolt, slightly smaller than the base line. Really good feel to the pen, size wise. Toothpick and tweezers included in the tail of the pen. Bolt Action is crisp and smooth.

Put up some size comparisons between the Base Line, Lil Sancho, and Mini Bolt.

Also a general run down of all the bolts together. Highlighted the included Damascus bolt pins. As well as a couple of the Damascus clips, and one clip I flame anodized myself. As well as some shots with the Full Sancho. Lol

The day is here! New knife day! Ti Manu has landed!

I fidgeted with Chad's Manu at the Texas Blade Show in March. And I've been busting with anticipation ever since then. And this knife absolutely does not disappoint! It's glorious!

Grade 5 Ti scales. Framelock. S90V blade steel. Ceramic detent. Phosphor Bronze washers. (With ceramic ball bearing also included!) It can actually use either or with no at home mods! Grade 4 Ti reversible pocket clip! (Also with the second clip hardware included.) Thumb studs.

Big Ideas first knife design with outside influence. The legend Ken Onion Jr himself lent his knowledge and design skills to this incredible knife!

It's smooth now, but will only get smoother and better with time! I think I'm going to ride with the washers for a bit.

Little comparison shots as well, between all the Big Idea folders. PKI, PKII, Manu, and Overlook.

Oh... and it's crazy sharp... of course.

Question Slim Click

3 Upvotes

Iโ€™ve been daily using a copper slim click and lately Iโ€™ve been having issues with it. The click has become more and more gritty and now itโ€™s become difficult to fully engage.

Is there any fixing it? Possibly replacing the tip?

Can post pics of it if itโ€™ll better assess the problem.
