Title: Tactical Pens
Post by: Reinz on July 18, 2011, 07:06:55 PM
Being a salesman my adult life, I always had a love for high quality pens.  I went through the  Cross, Monte Blanc love affairs.  Moved on to custom made wooden pens and even just "nice good feel'n pens.

Now the rage is  the tactical pen and I know there are many out there.  Sure Fire, Dillon, etc.  

I don't see myself as a ninja with one but I settled on a good feel'n one that writes excellant and just plain ol' displays good craftsmanship.  It comes from Rick Hinderer Knives.  He has a few to choose from  and here is the link.  

And the good part is, you can get a good one cheaper than a Monte Blanc.

Does anyone else have one that they like ?

I used to really like the Sheaffer with the white dot; had the snorkel fountain pen through school days.  It's still around somewhere.

I guess for a gift for someone who has everything else, they would fit the bill.  The price for the Hinderer models seems very reasonable.  The quality of the tool/pen itself appears to be top shelf.

A tool for a wanna-be terrorist to get past the unknowing TSA screener's?

Never thought about the smear.

That's a good tip!

This is a good deal.  $26.99 for 12, free shipping, and no smear.  Excellent.
