EDC Tactical Pen

Just wondering if any one carries a tactical pen as a EDC.

Any recommendations? I was looking at the Benchmade 1100 but they are pricey. The Smith & Wesson and Schrade are more reasonable.

I have the Embassy Pen on my wish list. Shop Pens at CountyComm | CountyComm

I have one of these with a Fisher pressurized insert.

Freman, does the CooYoo pen have the screw on cap or pressure fitted with a rubber O ring?

It all screws together.

I EDC the NaitHawk TK.X and LOVE it.

It shipped with a Schmidt P950M pressurized cartridge, but it only lasted me a few months and started leaking everywhere, and I didn’t like the standard ball ink anyway, so I replaced the cartridge with a Parker style gel and it’s way way better.

I can’t say enough about how much I like this pen. I’ve had a zillion comments on it.

For the price it's not bad, although you won't want to write a long report with it.

I have surefire Pen IV and i had a chance to tried Uzi Tac Pen 1 and United Defence Pen.

I found united defence pen is way much more comfortable to, the right is just perfect also much more lighter than Surefire pen IV and Uzi Tac 1. Surefire Pen IV is way too big and for extended time of writing i found it is exhausting because it's has quite weight. Often Surefire pen IV is always retracted accidentally inside my bag. Uzi Tac Pen on the other hand also way too big and bulky i would say the feeling is about the same like Surefire Pen IV.

All pens is parker style / fisher ink compatible.

First off, every pen is tactical if you have the right mindset. And second, if you want a sturdy pen that can be used as a defensive tool on the cheap, not to mention be carried on a plane or used without getting curious glances from coworkers, I recommend the Zebra F-701.

I’ve carried on for years without issue, although I’ve never disabled a tango with one, so YMMV.

This one also works well... http://www.amazon.com/Parker-Jotter-Stainless-Steel-Medium/dp/B001603YXI/ref=sr_1_1?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1377964376&sr=1-1&keywords=parker+pen

been using stainless steel zebra’s for years.

I have a stainless Zebra as a backup pen, and it’s what I used before I got my NaitHawk TK.X

The Zebra is much much lighter weight, and superior for heavy duty writing purposes, but the NaitHawk has a superior build quality, heft, and works perfectly for quick notes, or light writing. I’ve never tried to take it through an airport, nor do I plan to.

Either one will poke a hole in something, but guaranteed the hole will be bigger with a NaitHawk. :slight_smile:

If you took a pen to the eye or the jugular, do you really think the size of the hole matters? :stuck_out_tongue:

“The pen is mightier than the sword!”

Similar to using a .22 rifle instead of a .308, either one in the eye will do the same thing, but what happens if you don’t quite hit where you intended?

More damage is better.

I’m not saying don’t get the Zebra, it’s a great pen! I just got a bigger one.

LOL, that’s a training issue. But seriously, I hope we would all stay in the fight ’till the fight is taken from us or the threat is eliminated.

Of course, but I would consider a pen to the eye to be “more” damage.

How about just two Zebras?

In all seriousness, I truly hope none of us are ever having such a bad day as to have to use a pen for anything other than composing love poems and thank you notes.

Thankfully somebody will do a study to help us see if the amount of force needed to drive the bigger pen sacrifices penetration depth or creates a fail for the less muscular. 0:)

The zebra should be strong enough to do an engagement-ending amount of damage to one person, maybe two. I really have them because I prefer to write/take notes with them. If I’m in a situation where I need to use it to defend myself, I can probably justify using .380’s instead.

Heck, one of the only times I don’t have .380’s with me is in class…but the Texas state government is supposed to be working on that for me :stuck_out_tongue:

Notice the 4 entry points on the torso?

What are those, so called “tactical” pens, purpose, use?

What makes them better, than, say, Fisher Space pens?
