Product Description
To everyone else they're stylish writing instruments designed with all of the fine qualities you would expect in a nice pen, but to you they're more than that. Former Army officer and martial arts instructor, James Williams applied his design expertise to the Williams tactical pen. For those of you familiar with the Hissatsu and the Hisshou, this new James Williams design is sure to be a welcome addition to your defensive edged tools.
A clean, futuristic interpretation of one of mankind's basic tools, the tactical pen is a high-tech writing instrument that can be used as a self-defense enforcer if need be. Made from precision-machined aluminum and hard-coat color anodized, they offer long lasting durability and toughness. Available in non-reflective tactical black finish. The tapered body improves grip while adding a contemporary look.
With some basic instruction or knowledge, one can readily use the pens against an assailant or attacker to inflict notice, pain or injury—thwarting an otherwise potentially defenseless act.
And, they're just plain great writing instruments as well.

1. Six (6) inches long--better than most. I can wrap my entire hand around it.
2. Center portion is both stylishly slender and well proportioned to accommodate my grip.
3. CAP SNAPS ON F-I-R-M-L-Y TO BASE--NO "WHERE DID CAP GO?"
4. Glass breaking capability!
5. Smooth, dark ink.
6. Elegant design and construction
7. METAL body.
8. Sturdy pocket clip
9. Pleasing "heft"
10. Legendary CRKT heritage
(Are these enough reasons, dear wife?--I COULD go on. This is well designed. engineered, and built "kit")
Just keep in mind if you keep this pen in a warm area (such as your pocket) for long periods of time, the ink will change a little, and until you start writing it's not a problem, however if you immediately start writing, the ink can leak out a little, almost like a thin goo. Just a recommendation, take your pen out of your pocket (if that is where you keep it) when you sit down, and let it cool to room temperature to avoid this slight annoyance. Any pen would have this issue, but the black metal body does make the pen heat faster.
I carry this at work everyday and have written with it everyday as well. I took it apart when I first got it to replace the cartridge with a Fisher space pen refill and found that that's what it comes with already! It is a very good writing pen and the sleek design looks very nice and an unintimidating look to it unlike some tactical pens that look like weapons. As a self defense weapon this will DEFINITELY get the job done. Solidly built and a point on it that is very painful and could easily puncture if used full force impact.
The only drawbacks I have found would be with the clip. It is extremely tight which can be good or bad depending on how you carry it. And its very high on the cap which means it rides very deep in the pen slot of my uniform. That combined with the really tight clip, and hardly having any pen sticking out to grab, makes it hard to get out sometimes. You could bend the clip slightly to loosen it up if this is an issue for you.
Along with the awesome pen, it comes packaged in a VERY nice zippered ballistic nylon hard case! I pulled the foam pen holder out and now it easily carries two tactical pens, a mechanical pencil, a sharpie and an extra pen refill and leads.
I highly recommend this pen.

Something that a few people have asked is if this is TSA Approved. I've traveled with this through multiple Airports with no issues. There are no carbide tips, no sharp edges or points, nothing that would lead anyone to think this is a weapon of any kind. Thats because it really isn't. This is just a solid, overbuilt and well shaped pen. Now, with that said, anyone that has flown in the past 5 years knows that TSA does what TSA wants to do. So just because some of us haven't had issues traveling with this, doesn't mean that everyone will be as lucky.
My only criticisms are that the cap is a bit loose and rattley when the pen is held in an ice-pick grip, and the barrel has a tendency to slide down the tip when clipped to a pocket. Otherwise, it's a great pen.
UPDATED JAN 1st: After about 2 months of being regularly clipped to a pocket, the O rings securing the cap have dislodged and it won't attach to the pen.

He loved it!
My only complaint from my personal experience and preferences;
The cap has a (estimated) 45° slant, making it uncomfortable on the thumb if you use it for purchase.
Not a deal breaker, as it can be modified, just a bit of an annoying oversight on this particular item.
