The Rite in the Rain BK16 is a bolt-action weatherproof metal pen in matte black with black ink. The metal body is heavier and more durable than the brand’s polymer pens — sized for daily-driver pen-box duty rather than disposable stockpile use.
Use the BK16 as the everyday EDC pen that handles wet paper, oily fingertips, and rough field environments where a standard ballpoint would skip. The bolt-action mechanism is one-handed and the matte black finish suits desk-side and pocket carry equally well.
Rite in the Rain has been making all-weather paper and pens in Tacoma, Washington since 1916 — Made in the USA per the manufacturer’s Amazon listing.
