Best Value Tactical Pen

sigrug17 · Mar 18, 2011

KZ defensive pen from Botach..because I got it for free.

Stainless steel sharpie. $7 at Staples or Office Depot.

Linky goodness

It went through an X ray scanner and right back into my pocket when I flew out of the country last month. Didn't get a second glance.

Never even seen these before....

these wouldn't be classified under fixed blade weapons under Maryland law would they?

Might replace ZT folder with one of these it's more law-friendly....

I'm a big fan of the good ol BIC Pen used in Bourne Identity. I'm thinking if I could fight like that, it really doesn't matter what I pick up as a weapon. haha

I carry one of these wherever I go: Zebra F-701. Recommended by mercop after taking his Combat Pen course.

I started carrying these when in uniform a few years ago when they first came out. :thumbsup:

I picked up a couple of the Zebra F-701 from e-Bay. Very nice pens and seem to be really sturdy. I will be carrying them when in uniform.

Damn, I had no idea. I think I will be getting some Ninja pens soon.

Hate to bring an old post back, but in this case I felt it was warranted. Just picked up a few Zebra F-701 pens from Staples since I happened to be in there and they were on sale. Great writing pen and solid as a rock. Those of you on the fence, hop on it and get yourself a few. Did I mention they were on sale for under $7 at Staples?

Excellent, I need another one as I gave one away.

I have 3 or 4, or maybe it's 5, still in the packaging tucked away in case I lose one. I like them that much.
In all honesty, I bought them when they were hard to find so I figured I'd get them when I found them.
It's a manic-obsessive disorder that being a gun lover has instilled in me over the years. (Get it now before you can't get them anymore!) :sad20:

Just got two new Zebra 301s for the princely sum of $3.22.

LostSoul · May 9, 2011

I bought a couple of those Zebras after reading this thread. Being "tactical" wasn't a factor, but they really are nice pens. I'm a mechanic, so the knurling helps when writing with greasy fingers. Plus, when they get dirty, just take it apart and wipe it down with brake cleaner. Good as new! :thumbsup:

i thought this was a joke....

The Zebra's are great metal pens.

The Schrade and S&W (both made by Taylor now I think) are also good inexpensive options if you want/need something larger.

I don't have any of the others. Many were just too pricey for a pen in my world and now I'm happy with the pile I have on hand.

Unfortunately today there is a need for self defense tools that won't get confiscated/stolen by the authorities or worse yet, get you thrown in jail for carrying a "dangerous assault weapon".
It is very unlikely regular looking pens will ever be banned or confiscated, even in the most secure environments like planes or courthouses. There is no question in some situations a pen can be an effective self defense tool when nothing else is available.

It's not. If you ever see Mercop offer his defensive pen class, take it, you'll be glad you did.

I carry a stainless steel sharpie.
