The bolt action mechanism for exposing the tip of the pen is clever. I do have to say that when the tip is retracted, the bolt rattles around a bit as the spring isn't quite pushing the bolt all the way to the top of the slot. Not a deal breaker for me though.
Only other thing I can say is that finding refills might be a pain. Already checked a few local stores including Office Depot and no one has anything that will fit.

People have rated this pen poorly in the past due to its ink cartridge, since it apparently doesn't last very long. I've only had the pen for 2 days so I cant confirm the cartridge longevity, however I can say, you don't buy a pen like this for its long lasting ink cartridges. Lets not get too carried away, if cartridges were to cost $10 a pop, I'd maybe then understand.
To sum things up, this is a great, smooth operating pen at a great price (currently $62). I would recommend it to a friend. My only regret is not buying a couple more for a few friends this holiday. First Böker product I've purchased and I can tell they mean business. A great first impression.
Looks good
Cons:
Costly
Stops writing out of nowhere
Everything is unscrewing (Bold pin and the Tip of the pen)
Ink replacement are costly
Love this pen, kinda tacticool but at what cost.
