They are either made of aluminum or some reinforced plastic that makes them more sturdy or solid, have some sort of molded grip, the reverse end is usually very pointy, and are made by companies that already make firearms and/or other LEO/military gear.

They keep on writing after you stick someone in the eye.

This is true. However, I find that once the eye is stuck , it tends to leak it's juice all over my TPS reports.

What about having it in your carryon or purse while flying? Do you think it would make it.

Look at the end that isn't the pen point. Do you want to be struck with that?

Was referring to getting through TSA.

Any layman can tell that this pen can be used as a stabbing weapon.
The very pointed tip on the opposite end, w/ their construction would let someone know this isn't some ordinary piece of stationary.
If you have a chance to pick one up, take the cap off, and grip it, you'll know what I mean.

I doubt a TSA supervisor would allow you to board a flight with one.

You can still try. S&W makes some "tactical" pens for ~$30; so if it gets taken or you have to leave it behind it wouldn't be too big of a lost

The surefire pens look less tacticool but are still supposed to be pretty good. And reasonably priced on eBay

I'll let you know come May...

The instructor starts off with some basic Hapkido techniques that work fine without the pen. I would prefer a knurled and pointed metal kubaton to the pen.

so would you stick someone with the pen end or the window breaking end?

just put the cap over the point and place it in your notebook! I carried mine to vegas last week and TSA didnt say anything

What pen were you carrying?

I'm sure Surefire or Benchmade will sell you some rediculously expensive eyeball juice resistant writing paper.

Benchmade

CRKT is coming out with some soon, at a very good price.

I have a UZI Tactical Pen. Very well made and has some weight to it. Mine has the crown on top not the pointed top. Around $20 dollar with shipping included. I'll let you know if I make it to Spain with it.

I have two of the Surefire pens, and they are really nice. I consider them a last ditch stabbing weapon. They are useful for not feeling completely naked in non-permissive environments.

With the right training, they can be used for joint manipulation like a Kubaton.
