Will Hodges founded Tactile Turn in 2012 with a mission to create high-quality, thoughtfully designed pens that people could use and appreciate every day. Frustrated by the disconnect between consumers and the products they buy, as well as the inaccessibility of small-scale manufacturing, Will began crafting pens by hand using a WWII-era lathe in a small rented corner of a friend’s workshop. Today, Tactile Turn operates from a 9,000-square-foot facility in Dallas, TX, where a dedicated team of machinists continues to hand-machine each pen. The company remains committed to producing durable, beautifully designed writing instruments backed by a lifetime warranty. Tactile Turn pens are for those who value craftsmanship, attention to detail, and tools that stand the test of time—just like Will himself.
