I've always enjoyed having a nice writing pen on me as part of my EDC but have never been completely happy with the ones I have been using.
I've used quite the variety over the years ranging from tactical pens from UZI, Smith & Wesson, Schrade, Gerber and others which worked but I didn't like the way the worked, felt or wrote depending on the model. Then I went to a more normal pens from companies like Zebra and Bic which wrote very well but I found myself breaking them way too often and I prefer everything I carry to have multiple uses. I was on the look for something lighter and came across the Fenix T5Ti titanium pen. I purchased it because it was visually appealing and offered a better (tungsten steel) glass breaker as well as being a lighter-weight option than many of the others I have used. I have been carrying the Fenix T5Ti for awhile now and absolutely love it. The pen carries well in the pocket, writes very nice with the German made Schmidt Megaline P950M pressurized cartridge as well as feels good in the hand with the precise CNC machining. It works great in my day to day writing but also works great on my waterproof Rite In the rain paper when I'm in the field. I was a little worried about going back to a screw top pen but it has wide threads so only takes a quick twist to remove the cap which also secures to the other end for safe-keeping while the pen is in use. The pen also has a very robust titanium pocket clip which beats anything else I've seen on any other pen. Overall I absolutely recommend this pen if you're looking for something a little more classy yet still robust enough to push through a car window or use it as a self defense tool (yes it hurts very much). A few other things I should mention.
