My pen is the one from Benchmade. The aircraft grade aluminum pointy-ended jobber. Check out the benchmade site or knifecenter.com.

Is it something like the object to the left of my eyeglass case? This is part of my EDC. The pens go inside side pockets, while the front pocket holds a comb, and some forceps, useful for getting small screws from deep within PCs. My ordinary pen is a Rotring with pencil, stylus, pen, and highlighter. When I learned they were discontinued, I bought two more spares on eBay.

Currently, I have these two GG&G "discreet tools" in my briefcase.

One has a titanium tube, and the other carbon fiber. The only testing I've put them through is as icepicks, and they work quite well.

Oh, BTW, I found your review of the ASP lightweight baton quite helpful. I got one, and it goes in my pocket whenever I leave the house. This being Michigan, I'm sure it's a felony to merely possess one.

Yes. That's exactly the one. Normally I wear a polo-type shirt and I just clip it on the v-neck of my collar. Say... I really like that penetrator. May have to get one of those. Carbon fiber, eh? Must be pretty much weightless.

Mmmm...pen and pen-shaped objects pron...

Very nifty!

The Rotring fountain pen I have would probably make a good weapon in a pinch. The nib is...not exactly flexible or delicate. But it’s not as sharp as the Pilot VP retractable. That one bit Talon when he visited. It’s quite pointy in parts.

I like the Benchmade, though...
