Learn More For most people, a pen is just a writing tool that we think about only when we need it. In other words, a pen is just a pen. But sometimes a pen is a badass writing tool that can also be used for personal safety, like in the instance of these Collective Carry EDC Pens. You're likely already carrying a pen around with you most places you go, so why not have a cool, useful one? Forged from 6061-T6 aerospace aluminum, and available in all-black, gold, and gunmetal, these tactical pens are an extremely sturdy companion. The short, round head, along with its beveled edge, make it easy to grip when writing. And if you flip it over, there's an additional pointed edge which provides an effective means to break glass in an emergency situation. Each purchase even comes with an extra ink refill, so you don't have to worry about buying a new one every six months. And weighing in at just 42g, they're the perfect EDC pen. They're the kind of pen that brings new meaning to the phrase “the pen is mightier than the sword.” If you're looking for a pen that is worth holding onto, these Collective Carry EDC Pens are a good choice. What's more, you can pick one up for just $32.99, a savings of 43%.
