There are plenty of machined pens on the market, as there are tactical pens. To stand out, one needs to bring something new to the table without compromising the usefulness of either use. This is true for EDC especially, since you probably already have a ton of gear vying for valuable pocket space. Valtcan aims to do something different with their tactical survival pen by packing as much utility into a slick machined package, giving you a robust EDC option to cover your bases.
Valtcan’s tactical pen comes in polished titanium, giving it that exotic sheen in addition to a nice strength-to-weight ratio. Vents are machined into the pen’s body, adding a striking look while giving a better grip, and most importantly, keeping its weight down to just over 2 ounces for ease of carry. The vents also give a glimpse into the pen’s internals, where the rest of its tools lie.
Screwed into the the cap lies a whistle for emergencies, while a compact one-piece multi-tool sits in the pen’s rear compartment behind its rear tungsten point for glass-breaking emergencies. Unscrewing the main section lets you access the pen, which takes standard 2 3/4” mini refills like the Schmidt 635M or Lamy M21. The pen also comes with a pocket clip for ease of carry to your pocket or pack.
Whether as a pen or multi-tool the Valtcan pen’s got some surprising utility under its shell. Pick one up from Amazon at the link below.
