Columbia River Knife and Tool (CRKT) has been in the game a long time making knives of all types (since 1994 actually). Now they’ve started selling tactical pens.
The CRKT self defense pen is made of precision machined 6061 aluminum with a hard coat color anodizing layer over the top to give it a flat black tactical looking finish.
CRKT tested their pen for performance and durability and found it to be exceptional. In fact, many service people around the world use this pen making this possibly the best pen in the world.
The combat pen also comes with a limited lifetime warranty, and a nice case. I wouldn’t recommend keeping it in the case, it should be close and ready at all times. However, the case is nice enough to use for something else.
This ballistic pen has a flat end for bracing your thumb against.
I don’t like that the lid on this pen just presses on – actually, that means it’s quicker to switch from pen to self defense tool and back again which isn’t always bad. But, if the lid just presses on then chances of losing it are higher than a twist on lid.
