I have a Kubotan key chain, but stopped carrying it when it poked a hole in my pants pocket. :rolleyes:

 

Interesting pen you linked to there, and nice drawings. That movie is on my Netflix queue.

 

 

Thanks for the kind words Kaputnik!

Ah!, but THIS Kubotan comes with a POCKET CLIP... both deadly AND nerdy!

 

Glad to hear that you'll be checking out The Ox-Bow Incident too!

Lemme know what you think!

"even if it's a temple crush'in sternum snapping pen of death"

But honestly guys, it's just a cool pen!

With a quality nib as well!

 

Let's not take the "tactical" too seriously!

Ah! Welcome to the Dark Side of the pen world Ivan!

Let me know how you like your Schrade... I'm sure it will help wipe out the remnants of the Rebel Alliance "in one swift stroke!"

Where's best to order from? A quick googlesearch only showed some hits on amazon.

 

Cheers.

 

I got mine on Amazon, the prices seem to be best there (I think I paid $25 and got free shipping from a seller in Amazon Marketplace). IIRC there were plenty of them on ebay as well, but I remember them being more expensive there (starting from $30-35).

 

Hope that helps.

VERY cool Ivan!

I found the Kim & Co thread on FPN.

How can I get my hands on some?...

You might want to check with Hari317. He sold it to me but I am not sure if he had more made. The original jumbo had a really dispraportionate nib and Hari worked with the maker to get the larger nib installed and the cap modified for it.

I also got mine on amazon for $25 with free shipping.

Very neat! I've seen various tactical pens on other forums, but always BPs or RBs. A tactical fountain pen is a very interesting thing indeed.

The Highlander was a documentary, and the events happened in real time.

Isn't that little bit on the end meant for breaking windows or glass?

The top of the pen, not the nib, of course....

Hey Nick!

That certainly is the business end of the pen. Great to shatter safety glass in an emergency, I'm sure!

...or an attackers jaw....

 

either one...

You can't reeeaaaallly call it tactical if you have to unscrew the cap. I mean if you are holding back your attacker with one hand while they are trying to choke you and reaching out to get the pen off your desk with your free hand intending to pop the cap off and slam the nib into the attackers throat it's not going to work if you need both hands or your mouth to hold the cap as you unscrew it. You need to pop the cap off quickly with one hand and slam that pen home in one fell swoop. Ok so I've seen the Bourne movies to many times but that bic pen Jason used worked like a champ!

 

It's pretty irrelevant if the pen can or cannot be really used as a weapon. Its main function is to let little boys dream they are stronger and more intimidating than they really are in real life. While holding that pen, they dream of being Rambo or some kind of vengeful superhero.

 

It's a fantasy pen for boys, just like princess/unicorns/HelloKitty trinkets are created to match girls fantasies.

Photo of Schrade Tactical pen with Monteverde mini converter (www.thewritingdesk.co.uk） UK pounds 3.50. Being such a small converter means you have to refill frequently, still it gives you the flexibility to choose different coloured ink.

Guess you never heard of a karambit, yawara, kubaton or a koga pressure tool, all highly effective defense weapons when one trains with it. These pens essentially are pressure tools, not stabbing or cutting tools and they can work very well, preferably capped and right out of the pocket. Safe for planes and communities where more traditional defense weapons are banned, in other words, the Lands of the Sheeple.

If you are ignorant of the facts, please keep your snide uninformed opinions to yourself or do some homework before you sneer. It's unbecoming and juvenile.

Now I need to try my Monteverde mini converter in mine. I need to get this one back in rotation.

Yep, the conical tip is the tactical part, it's good for shattering glass, especially underwater, as well as kubotan and pain compliance techniques.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
