Cool Hand 4.37in EDC Micarta Bolt Action Tactical Pen, Ergonomic Grip, White

I am an EDC fanatic and fairly active in the EDC community. I carry my pen and knife side-by-side in my pocket, and several of my nice knives were being scratched by my steel Zebra F-701. Conversely, several of my plastic pens were being scratched by my knives when I switched to using those. I purchased this pen to fix the problem and it has worked! The micarta is soft enough that it doesn't wear down the knife coating as quickly as steel, but is hard enough that if it does rub against the knife, it isn't visible. Any scuffs on the micarta wipe right off with a wet rag. The bolt action is a bonus and has operated flawlessly when needed (and as a fidget). I haven't had any issue with the clip becoming loose, and if it gets bumped out of place, I just shift it back. Hasn't bent or stripped away from the pen after several months of use. Highly recommend this item to add a unique touch to your EDC!

Pros: Micarta material is great to hold and feel in hands, good clip. Top of pen is open, allowing the bolt to be visualized as open or closed (clicked or unclicked). Cool little knob on the bolt.Cons: The bolt mechanism is a little off. First thing I noticed was the roughness of the action, which hopefully can wear down with time. Second, the spring is quite stiff. Third, when resetting the bolt on the way up, there is a slight bump at the top, indicating there is a slight lip or rise somewhere inside "action," which is definitely perceptible and is not smooth.I think this was a great concept, and indeed I mentioned some issues I could fix myself, but ideally we purchase these pens to be "good-to-go."

I own several “tactical pens”Bench made, boker even fancy pens like Mont Blanc all are more expensive yet this is my favorite. This is the exact same pen as the boker .50 that cost about 80$ Bolt action is smooth and the Micarta is the coolest material I ever seen for a pen. It is light and has a great texture and feel. Can’t explain it. Grab this pen and let it figet away your stress at least you will not have buyers remorse!!!

This is a cool pen. Only complaint is that it holds dirt.

This is a direct ripoff of the Boker .50 Cal Micarta Pen made by the German knife company. The authentic pen is only $40 right now and I highly recommend that one as I own one. The action is smooth and the fit/finish is amazing as well as the materials. Just get the real one - you won’t regret it.

Well made little pen.
