The Twister Special Edition comes standard with a fluted milled clip, matching the other mill patterns that utilize an 1/8" endmill. 

The other distinction is the finish. This one is Grade 5 Titanium, anodized — and anodized titanium is not paint. No pigment is added at all. Running current through the barrel grows a clear oxide layer a few hundred nanometres thick, and that layer splits the light falling on it. What you see is interference — the same effect as oil on water — so the colour is the metal's own surface, not a coating.

Voltage sets the colour. Thicker oxide, longer wavelength. The range of titanium goes through most of its colors twice; lower voltages tend to be darker and more saturated, while higher voltages are brighter and more vibrant. Our gold occurs in the mid-high fifties, pink around sixty, purple in the seventies, blue in eighties and green nearing a hundred. The exact numbers shift with the bath, so treat these as approximate. 

Baja Blast is the exception, and the reason this edition exists: rather than holding one voltage, the barrel is anodized in segments — worked in stages, each segment taken to its own voltage, so the oxide steps up along the twist. Run close enough together the steps stop reading as steps: teal climbing through blue into violet at the endcap. We call it the fade. It follows the helix, and it moves as the pen turns in your hand.

The highs of the flute are then taken back to satin, revealing bare machined titanium along every ridge. Colour in the valleys, raw metal on the peaks: the milling does the work, the anodizing just follows it.

Six finishes, each on Grade 5 Titanium:

Baja Blast — the fade: teal fading up through blue into violet.
Green — deep anodized teal-green.
Blue — clean high-voltage blue.
Gold — mid-voltage bronze and amber.
Magenta — mid-voltage pink.
Purple — violet, just before the blues.

Underneath, it is the v.03 in full: adjustable set screw for refill versatility, nose tips reamed to size (2.4mm / 2.5mm / 2.6mm), single-piece barrel. Grade 5 Titanium, machined in-house in Los Angeles.
