Anyone out the carry these, My wife works in the city i think it could be a good defensive tool for her to carry with her. Picture and some thoughts on all the defensive pens would be great. As always thanks in advance
I carry a Surefire pen every day, everywhere. Had it on planes, in federal buildings, etc. It’s a pen. I don’t even know what you mean about it being a defensive tool.
It’s heavy and seems incredibly durable. I have not yet tested the glass breaker … keep forgetting to buy the extra insurance on the rental cars. 
The pen is easily adjustable for different types of ink cartridges. Mine is set up to use a Fisher space pen pressurized cartridge. The clip is very well designed. It works whether I’m wearing a thick half-zip sweater or a thin polo (I carry the pen in the placket area) and has not bent or deformed. It’s a comfortable (though as I said, heavy) writing instrument. The design allows for a variety of fairly secure grips on the pen if you ever wanted to use it to put holes in something, too, I suppose, though as I said I officially cannot imagine why anyone would ever do such a thing because it’s a pen, just a pen.

I had one for a few weeks, but everyone immediately knew that it could be used as a weapon, its too pointy. The SureFire is more people friendly. 
The Surefire is a big, beast of a pen, but I guess, as has been said, it could be used as a weapon. I am a part time FF and I am looking forward to trying out the glass breaker.
I have a Black SureFire (it is a little too BIG) and really loved it until…
I bought my first Aluminum Benchmade, then starting using that every day (incl. airline travel)
Until, I saw they made a Stainless one and had to have that…
Last night, I ordered the NEW SureFire (smaller and with a retractable tip):
I personally prefer the Fisher (USA made Space Pen ink in the Benchmade’s) over the Schmidt (ink that comes with the SF). Cool thing is that SF can take pretty much any ink cartridge you want. I am really looking forward to the new SF pen…
PS: I too have had people start “using” my pens and decide to keep them…

You’re not kidding!
Well troops I’m on the fence on this one. I have a good deal on one?
What’da think? should I go for it?
What’s a good deal and how bad do you want it? I paid $90 and I wouldn’t do it again, it’s just too big, I’d go $50. YMMV
Well its in the $100 neighborhood.

Does anyone know anything about “Tuff Pens?” Were it not for their brand name and their inane FAQ’s I would think they were good pens. At least they’re made in the U.S. and hit a price point equal to the BM. But for that much money, I’d rather not T&E a writing utensil.

Ahhh, I said "What the f#*k, I carry the Surefire knife at work, why not the pen?
I’ll probably use it more :). Its all good!
I carry an E2D, a x300 on my pistol, and a Surefire pen. if i carried around the knife, even I’d call myself a geek.
Well put Buds, in my line of work the knife is quite useful 
Cheers
Who offers the Benchmade pen at a good price?
If I could get a SF pen at ~90 or so, I’d buy one right now. Especially since my other cool guy pen has somehow disappeared between me and the company that I sent it to to be fixed.
Really? A Benchmade? It looks so…weapony. Could we maybe knurl a few more surfaces on it?
FWIW, while it’s certainly not small I don’t find the SF pen to be too big or too heavy. It writes very well and is easy to carry everywhere I go. It actually looks like a pen rather than a vampire hunting tool. And while perhaps not as fancy as a pen with a removable cap, the twist opening function is very easy to get used to … of course, it has the added advantage of making the entire pen a solid one-piece, uh … tool.
The adjustable ink cartridge feature is also nice. The pen comes with a standard cartridge but it’s extremely easy to set it for a Fisher space pen refill.
After seeing mpardun’s photos, now I’m tempted to get one in black, too.
Does it come with black ink or blue?
