It was perfect... until it was absolutely useless

Right after I bought this pen I carried it every day and used it regularly at work for about half a year. It's really well made, light weight and a lot of fun to use and play around with. However the bad omen started when I began to notice that the bolt handle had a tendency to unscrew itself - even with sensible use i.e. without fidgeting around with it. Well just last week it actually unscrewed itself completely (while clipped in my back pocket) and the bolt handle disappeared. Missing this bolt handle renders this expensive pen completely useless, so I can only give 3 stars maximum as a fatal flaw like this shouldn't exist at this price point. Of course I could have put some loctite on the threaded end but in my experience this shouldn't be necessary (my other bolt action pens don't need it either). So apart from this, the rest is pretty much perfect. Only nitpick would be that the pocket clip is very stiff.

Pocket Clip is too tight

This pen is light, strong, great looking and the concealed tungsten glass breaker is a great feature. But the titanium pocket clip is so tight you can't slide a single sheet of paper under it much less hook it over the edge of a denim pocket. The actual contact point between the pocket clip and the body of the pen is very sharp and if you do manage to get a piece of pocket material under it you risk it being cut or torn when you remove the pen for use. I'm all for having a clip that will hold the pen firmly in my pocket so I don't lose this fairly expensive investment, but I'm not willing to risk cutting or tearing up my pockets in order to carry it.
