At the other end of the EDC pen spectrum lies the tactical pen, which can serve as both a writing instrument as well as a potentially life-saving self-defense tool. In general, they feature bombproof-level durability, master grade construction and aggressive styling. Pictured above is the CampCo UZI Tactical Defender Pen:
“The most unique feature of the pen is that it employs the UZI DNA Catcher on the crown of the pen. The sharpened crown on the end can be used to jab or poke an attacker, which will not only cause extreme pain, but it will also collect the aggressors’ DNA which can be used for future identification.”
Other tactical pens worth mentioning include the Benchmade 1100, Surefire EWP-02, Smith & Wesson, and the CountyComm Embassy Pen.
