CRKT Williams Personal Defense Pen: Grivory Handle, Green, TPENWRG

This is an outstanding tactical pen....a great writing instrument as well as a great self defense tool! AND, the case it comes in kinda helps soften the $37 price tag! LOL I carry this at work everyday and have written with it everyday as well. I took it apart when I first got it to replace the cartridge with a Fisher space pen refill and found that that's what it comes with already! It is a very good writing pen and the sleek design looks very nice and an unintimidating look to it unlike some tactical pens that look like weapons. As a self defense weapon this will DEFINITELY get the job done. Solidly built and a point on it that is very painful and could easily puncture if used full force impact. The only drawbacks I have found would be with the clip. It is extremely tight which can be good or bad depending on how you carry it. And its very high on the cap which means it rides very deep in the pen slot of my uniform. That combined with the really tight clip, and hardly having any pen sticking out to grab, makes it hard to get out sometimes. You could bend the clip slightly to loosen it up if this is an issue for you. Along with the awesome pen, it comes packaged in a VERY nice zippered ballistic nylon hard case! I pulled the foam pen holder out and now it easily carries two tactical pens, a mechanical pencil, a sharpie and an extra pen refill and leads. I highly recommend this pen.

Marvelous pen! Out of all the tactical pens I viewed, this one stands out from all the competitors. First off, it actually looks like a pen and writes very well making it very practical in a business setting. The other monstrosities I viewed will most likely get security summoned if brandished in the office. This pen however looks very executive, its light and impressively durable. A gentle poke from this pen is uncomfortable. Apply speed and force and the CRKT becomes a formidable asset in a close quarters...situation. The paint chipped on the first use. But hey, it's aircraft grade aluminum, not Adamantium. Definitely recommend this pen for MI6, Spec Ops or simple self defense. Check it out and don't forget to goaceoff.com make your own luck!

It's a pretty good pen, writes well. Solid metal construction means it'll have to go in the tray at TSA; the CKRT branding is front and center on the pocket clip, which may give it away to TSA as more than a pen. Consider painting / taping / removing the branding before you fly. Cap stays put over the pen. Also stays put on the back of the pen when you are using it as a pen. Long and solid enough to use one-handed as a pressure compliance device (ouch-bang-stick), but not so pointed or sharp to catch your pocket or tear skin easily.

I've owned a couple of tactical pens, and this one is the least obvious of them. As with most tactical pens, CRKT Williams Tactical Pen is a metal object with a pointy end designed for increasing the intensity of hand strikes. Oh, and it writes too. Unlike many tactical pens that are comically long and heavy, this one is indistinguishable from a typical "nice" pen. That's great for those needing something that doesn't scream "Confiscate me" or "Watch out for this guy." The one complaint I have is the cap end. While it seems the clip issue found in the previous model was fixed, changing the end from a flat surface, perfect for thumb placement in a striking scenario, to a sloped end, that requires more finesse when seating against the thumb for striking, was a poor decision. Sure it adds interest to the look of the pen, but it greatly hinders it from a self-defense standpoint. All in all, it's a great looking "nice" pen that I'll keep in my pocket until the 3rd version comes out with a flat cap end. Update: There is a video showing how the designer intended for the cap end to be seated in the palm and against the thumb in tactical/self-defense situations. I tried them, but I still would prefer the flat cap for a more stable base to place my thumb for strikes. This pen is my everyday work pen, and it looks as good as the day I received it. Honestly, the only tactical pen I ever got this much use out of. 4.5 Stars. Update 11/30/2019 After dropping the pen on hard surfaces a few times, the piece that holds the clip on the cap end came off. There is a nut that fits inside the cap that holds the assembly tightly in place. So far, I've been unsuccessful in getting it put back together. Without the cap end, the pen is practically useless in a self-defense capacity. I'm debating buying another pen for fear of suffering the same fate. Something like this should be able to withstand a couple of four-foot-high drops on the concrete. Update 7/11/21 After numerous times flying with this pen, TSA confiscated it.

I wanted a stylish tactical pen that would make it through TSA. So far so good. I am really impressed with the weight and feel of the pen. It is something I feel I could actually use as an ever day pen without it LOOKING like a tactical pen. It writes well, and the tactical end is no joke. That bad boy is sharp! I would not want to be on the receiving end of that jab! Let’s face it though, you will may never need the tactical end of the pen, so the writing element needs to be good, and it definitely is on this pen. What also surprised me was the packaging. If you have a friend, Father-in-law, or whomever that you want to give tactical pen to as a birthday or Christmas gift, the box that this comes in is truly impressive. I look the liner out of the box and now use it for my reading glasses. Some folks complained about the clip breaking off. I could see that happening at some point, but I’m guessing they put too much pressure on it. It’s a shirt clip people.... Besides, I am willing to bet you can get replacement parts from CRKT without a problem. I wrestled for days, looking at countless tactical pens, but am really glad I chose this one.

Me encanto la pluma, discreta y se siente como una pluma fina, sin dejar a un lado la utilidad de defensa personal

It's made of high quality materials, I think it will last for years. It's lightweight yet feels sturdy in hand. The cap is easy to pull off but stays on the pen easily. I'm happy with it.

Given as a gift for a security professional that needs low profile items like this on the job. He loved it! My only complaint from my personal experience and preferences; The cap has a (estimated) 45° slant, making it uncomfortable on the thumb if you use it for purchase. Not a deal breaker, as it can be modified, just a bit of an annoying oversight on this particular item.

このペンはキャップ式です、 キャップの中にゴムの輪っかがあるのでそれでとめています、 後は良い形にしている、 ★★★★★です、 なくしましたけど

Way too thick and barely writes, have to shake the friggin thing before it can be used. I do not recommend
