Shop Log 005 - Final Entry - We were braced for an epic battle between Earth and the Cosmos. Reinforced all the doors at the shop for nothing. The visitors were honestly really chill. They just wanted to help us make a really cool pen. Kinda nice having fans from all over the universe. They only asked that we name it after their forefathers, so we settled on "Roswell" - a not to UFO hysteria of the late 1940s. The 23rd Seasonal Release is packed with features we've never really done before. The high polish, smooth titanium body features a star map engraving, with Cerakote highlights. A machined UFO-shaped bolt glides through the night sky inspired Cerakote internal. The classic UFO green beam is rendered on the clip in UV-reactant Cerakote too. On top, you'll find our first attempt at an inlay and it came out great. The result is a fun, functional take on the classic UFO. Let us know what you think in the comments and pick one up now at the link in our profile!

👽️ "Roswell" Seasonal Bolt Action is now available.

Shop Log 005 - Tomorrow is the day. We've pieced it together and it looks like a full on invasion event. We thought some of the conspiracy theorists around the shop were exaggerating but it all lines up. The mysterious green beam, UFO-shaped bolt, night sky pattern internal, and map of our solar system, and UV-reactant top cap inlay all point to something bigger than this earth. We think it originated from Roswell. This is way bigger than the events in 1947, and it looks like there's going to be a crash landing tomorrow at 12 Central.

Shop Log 004 - Okay, okay. We were hoping for a normal weekend at the shop, but when a huge batch of classified boxes shows up, we had to do some investigating. After reading the clues in the document, all signs point to something BIG happening on 8/25. We've narrowed the time down to noon central. Short one today, we've got to prepare. Over and out.

Shop Log 003 - Uhhhhh, remember how the cameras were picking up some strange stuff? It was mainly the ones on the roof. Well, we were hoping it was just a glitch or something, but I don't think that's the case. One of the dudes on the morning shift found these bolts completely finished. We're talking high polish titanium, like nothing we usually do in the shop. They were just there in the bins, ready to go. Craziest part? They look EXACTLY like what third shift said they saw swirling over the shop. It's made directly in their image. I'm thinking it's one of the dudes on second shift playing a trick on us. Trying to freak us out. Hah hah, real funny.

Shop Log 002 - 8/21/26 - Okay, remember how the machines were acting kind of weird the other day? Well, one of the laser engravers came out with this pattern on it. There's a highlight on it too, but it only lights up if we expose it to UV light. Nobody at the shop can figure out what exactly it means. Any ideas? At this point, I'm just hoping it's a ghost in the code and not something more serious.

Shop Log 001 - 8/20/26: Mysterious lights have been spotted circling the shop at night. I thought the late shift guys were crazy, but there's some weird stuff on the cameras. We're honestly starting to get pretty freaked out. The CNCs have been acting pretty weird too, spitting out parts that don't look familiar to any of the guys at the shop. We think they're adding up to something, but it's not clear yet. One of the dumpsters out back was emitting an odd green glow, but the dudes just think we mixed coolant with something else from one of the neighbors. Eh, whatever. We got pens to make. Back at it.
