My tactical pens:I’m working on designing some EDC gear. So far I’ve done a front pocket pen and a deep carry clip pen, a tweaker size screwdriver, a couple scalpel knives (one including a bottle opener, a metal card wallet, and working on a clicker pen.
Here’s one of the pen prototypes. 6061-T6 anodized. Parker G2 style insert from Schmidt writes like butter. Might do a titanium version as well.

Aluminum, Brass & SS CAGE 5VKB6 (with serial numbers, ca 2011), I don't think these are currently available. Plus a no-name, Resin & thin Brass pen that functions as a tactical pen for international travel travel (less likely to be confiscated). No blades or other hidden features, just out & out defense/offense tools (the best tactical pens IMO don't look like weapons). For true tactical purposes, the heavier Brass & SS pens are best (they also made a Copper version, but were no longer in production when I "discovered" them).
