Review on πŸ–ŠοΈ Schrade 5.7in Black Aluminum Tactical Pen - Refillable and Screw-Off, Ideal for Outdoor Survival, Protection, and EDC by Bob Jensen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Now that I have it in my hands I find the fit and finish to be very good. I haven't found any real issues with any of the.

After much deliberation about which "tactical" pen I should buy, I decided on this one from Schrade. In terms of form and function, this one seemed to tick all the boxes. Now that I have it in my hands I find the fit and finish to be very good. I didn't find any real problems with any edges and everything seemed to fit together nicely. It doesn't look too "tactful", which is a plus. For the most part, it's just a nice carbide pin. If necessary, it can certainly be used as a suitable device. There's a good tip at the end and the cap is nice and flat for thumb use. The only downside is that a "tactical" pen really needs to come with a Rite in the Rain or Fisher Space Pen ink cartridge, just in case you really need to write with it in a non-ideal situation, which is one of those Main reasons to buy such a pen. Although it added a bit to the cost, I think it should be included as a standard cartridge. On the plus side, Fisher Space Pen SPR4 refills match this pen. They come with an adapter that slides onto the end to make them the same as Parker's replacement cartridges.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • The packaging is ugly
