EDC Tactical Pen

Tactical pens are basically kubatons with pointy ends, so they can be utilized as a traditional kubaton would be with joint locks and breaks, but can also be used as a pointy object for going all pokey-pokey.

the zebra isn’t quite as long as a tactical pen would be, nor as heavy, but is plenty strong enough for penetrating strikes, and maybe basic locks. It’s going to penetrate before it breaks a bone though.

See above. Tactical pens are basically designed for self defense without arousing suspicion…although nowadays, they’re semi-common enough that people are going to recognize them for their alternate purpose.

A knife is more likely to be lethal than a gun, particularly in unskilled hands, but slashes are slightly less likely to be lethal than stabs. Not everyone has as easy access to firearms as people do in America.

Anyone who used a knife in response to a punch would rightly be sent to prison for a very long time. Lethal force is only appropriate in response to a lethal threat.

Carrying anything here with the intention of using it for self-defense is an offense. Is it a pen or a 'pointed article'? Whilst they can be bought here, these kubotan-style pens are just below the legislation radar...

Are you UK based Chloe?

The Zebra F-701 has plastic core and 2 part outer sleeve. The stainless steel looks thick but actually isn’t.
“The thickness illusion is due to a right angle flange at the end where the writing tip attaches.” Zebra F-701 Tactical Pen? Still mostly plastic.

It seem many have modded the F-701. You’d think they would have noticed the tip screws into plastic and investigated further.
I think the 2 part outer sleeve is the biggest failure to me. With force it could break in half there.
Its a shame, it looked nice.

Oh wait, its a pen. :ghost:

Taken out of Amazon cart LOL. Think I’ll go with something more robust. I just liked that the F-701 looked unassuming.

Or signing in and out of places our regular tools are not “welcome”…

Otherwise, amen, brother!

Thank you for saying that.

If anyone has a extra tactical pen they wanna do some trading on. PM me! Ya’ll talked me into it!

(Just like driving impaired) Once someone shoves or throws a punch they’ve already risked lives …

Bourne made the Bic work … :open_mouth:

Bourne could make a thumbtack work. :ghost:

hopefully it never comes to tbat point where we have to rely on a pen , and agreed as far as training goes in my way past training before tactical pens were taticool we used just standard pens to invoke compliance and the smaller the surface area contacting the pressure points wether it be a nerve or artery the greater amount of force in a more focused point but again this was close to 20+ years so I may be way off base:-)

Knives are much less lethal than guns.

True Knife statistics are impossible to know because the use of knives is so common and routine that people sober up, patch the cut or wound and never go to the police, but in spite of that, in 1992 3,100,000 knife wounds were officially treated in America.

In that year of 1992, only 4095 people died from knife wounds.

I also disagree with your statement about being attacked with fists not being cause for using a self defense weapon, I understand what you mean if you are talking about guy stuff and family fights and so on, but when attacked by strangers or someone seriously attacking you, no matter who they are, there is nothing that says that anyone, has to meet the beast on the street, or the mugger or killer on equal terms.

In America, in the ballpark of 800 people a year are beaten to death and you can imagine how many survive and never fully recover, or look the same.

That was a big part of the Trayvon Martin case here in Amurrica.

I’m sorry, but if it’s a “gentlemans duel” at a bar or something, then yeah, fists get met with fists….but if you come up and blindside me, or randomly attack me, unless you’re half my size, I’m going to consider you a threat to my life and well being, and will meet your aggression with appropriate force to defend myself.

in a 16 foot duel with a gun :

Proper training and you can shoot your attacker within 16 foot :D!
Just use a pistol that doesnt have classical safety like G17 or something?

This is my tactical pen. It’s actually a torch but it will scare any foe away with its ultimate supreme cuteness:

I have the duluxe edition with titanium glass breaker insert.

lol :smiley:

I might be interested…

This is my genuine 1 of a kind MUJI/Sanrenmu pen knife, I believe it is the only one is existence. Due to the rarity of this I am asking $500 but will consider what you have to trade.

For an additional $250 I can include the optional flashlight attachment, this ultra rare MUJI/Sanrenmu/ThruNite combo is unbelievable value for money. I can supply GENUINE 3M Scotch tape for an extra $125 per inch (you will need about 2 inches to attach the flashlight attachment).

I’ll take $1000 cash or send me a PM with what you have to trade, this deal of the decade wont last long at this low price.
