It also rotates to reveal a Schmidt 6.8cm metal ink cartridge, allowing for smooth writing and providing an added self-defense option. Plus, it's TSA-compliant and highly portable, making it an ideal EDC tool.

Reviews

I usually don’t do reviews

"I usually don’t do reviews but I was so impressed by the way the pen wrote. Fits comfortably in my hand every one on the job site want to borrow my pen so can write something or sign in. Then they be blown away that is has a light that shines brighter than their flashlight, not to mention the other side can be used to shatter glass in case of an emergency. So I must say that over all I’m impressed with the tactical pen."

T6 Tactical Penlight AWESOME!

"This T6 tactical LED penlight is AWESOME! I swear by Fenix products and just as I love all lighting technology by Fenix, this tactical LED penlight is my new favorite. Already used on several binding occasions where individuals asked where I purchased the LED penlight from. Fenix has made the Swiss Army knife of tactical penlights with the T6."

Got to have pen

"It is a little bulky BUT there are some great options to this penlight. Multiple levels of brightness to the very bright led light. The pen writes will an comfortable in your hand. Not sure how many car windows I will need to break but if needed it's also built into this pen and it's tough. Overall it's a good buy and price is right."

Don’t waste your money!

"I’ve been a lover of all Fenix products for a long time. However, this pen is a piece of junk. Don’t buy this thinking it’s going to last a long time. The battery only lasts for a few minutes. I’m very disappointed in this product."
