As mentioned in an earlier post I EDC two pens, for writing a Zebra 701 S.S. fine point (the body is not solid stainless s.) at only $5.99 it's inexpensive
to replace when eventually they get lost.
For a so called 'Tactical' pen, I've carried for the last several years a Kley Zion (KZ) Stinger, inexpensive at under $20.00, underrated and possibly the best kept secret
in the 'Tac. pen scene, a FULL 6¼ inches long, not heavy, fat, over built, overly tooled, attention getting rainbow Titanium, red, blue green, striped or polka dot.
It's relatively thin, light and has a design which I prefer... the end cap is a flat mushroom shape which gives me superb thumb purchase allowing for greater powerful striking.
I have one in subdued matte black and one in subdued gun metal gray.
Recently while surfing around I came across a Tac. pen by Japanese designer/photographer Ichiro Nagata called the Kunai Tactical Pen.
It's made by Tuff-Products.
I immediately liked the design as I like these type of flat cap ends, but at $299.99 the price for me is completely prohibitive.
But I did discover a 'Tac.' pen made by 5.11 ('5.11 Tactical Black Double Duty 1.5 Tactical Pen') which has a flat end cap, a body with a nice slight palm swell and comes in two finishes: a subdued matte black and a glossy black.
It's 5½ inches long (I'd prefer another ½ inch).
While the MSRP is out of my usual range, I found one for $45.00, purchased one in matte black.
Will let you know how it is after it's received.
Jason over at DarkSucks (Prometheus Lights) is going to be producing some pens in the near future... They Use Montblanc refills supposedly. Keep an Eye, They look nice!

Sorry...had to.
Anyone know where I can get a Kley-Zion pen other than Botach??
Botach sells them for $19.99 on their site... but they also sell the same exact pen on Dweebay for $14.99 free shipping no tax.
You won't find them less than that.
There is however the same exact pen sold somewhere online, I don't recall where I saw it, but it's the same exact pen as the KZ Stinger it just has a different logo.
I'm gonna have to take another look at some of these suggestions. Ideally I'd like a reasonably lightweight pen that doesn't look tactical, doesn't cost a lot ($30ish) and has either the ability to use Fisher Space Pen refills or another easily obtained refills. I've got a couple Space Pens that I like mainly for their small size. Something a little bit bigger might come in handy.
