5 Tactical and Badass Pens For Men

Pens are not just used for writing. They can serve a variety of purposes, from self-defense to being a multitool. We decided to make a list of pens that all have something in common- they are tough and badass. Check them out:

1 – Gerber Impromptu Tactical Pen

A Gerber tactical pen with an integrated glass breaker.

When you hear of Gerber, you know to expect toughness and this pen isn’t a typical one to use when taking notes. In fact, Gerber teamed up with law enforcement officers to create a pen that will serve as a utilitarian tool as well. Gerber Impromptu Tactical Pen is rugged, has a machined steel body and a stainless steel pocket clip. The ink cartridge will work just fine in all conditions and if you find yourself in trouble, there’s a glass breaker on the tip. It perfectly fits into a pocket and can withstand anything you throw at it.

2 – Tactile Turn Damascus Slider

A pen made using two types of steel. Comes with a bolt action feature.

Tactile Turn Damascus Slider is an extremely tough pen that’s long lasting and won’t corrode. This is achieved thanks to its Damascus and stainless steel construction. Two materials are mixed together and create a nice texture. Probably the most interesting feature is the bolt action. With one motion, you’ll retract or advance the pen cartridge. This pen has a Schmidt Easy Flow 9000 medium point with black ink.

A durable self-defense pen.

Here’s one more tactical pen, this time from Boker. It’s created in collaboration with the military, police and security experts as well as a knifemaker Thomas Braunagel. Boker Plus Tactical Pen features a bolt action mechanism so it will open and close with a click. The body is crafted out of hard coat anodized, CNC milled aluminum and a black finish.

5 – Monteverde USA One Touch Tool Pen

A tool pen with 9 features.

The last one for today is a tool pen. Its soft-roll ballpoint provides smooth writing but that’s not the reason why we love it so much. It’s because of its 9 tools. That’s right, Monteverde USA One Touch Tool Pen has 3 rulers, a built-in level, Phillips & Flathead screwdriver, pen, and stylus. A highly responsive stylus comes with a touchscreen cap. The pen weighs around 3.5 ounces and comes in four colors.
