Tactical Defense Pens

The Nitecore NTP20 is Just as Mighty as Any Sword

— June 22, 2018 — Art & Design
Tactical pens usually tailor themselves as either a writing tool or self-defense object but the Nitecore NTP20 strikes a perfect balance between the two. As a pen, the Nitecore NTP20 is incredibly versatile and comes compatible with eight different ink refills, ranging from Parker to Schneider as well as Senator and Apex cartridges. The pen itself is comprised of a premium titanium alloy which allows the pen to be quite light in the hand, weighing in at just 1.33 ounces. The pen also features a ceramic ball underneath the pocket clip which allows for a smooth draw that doesn't catch on clothing.

In terms of tactical functions, the Nitecore NTP20 offers impressive grip areas channeled into the body to help users keep their hands in all situations. The shape of the pen is also purpose-built to add leverage in defensive situations, while the tungsten tip can easily break glass in any emergency incidents.
Trend Themes
1. Versatile Ink Refills - Opportunity to develop ink refills that are compatible with a wide range of pen brands, offering users more options and convenience.
2. Premium Titanium Alloy Pens - Potential to create lightweight and durable pens using premium titanium alloy materials, appealing to customers who value both functionality and aesthetics.
3. Tactical Grip Designs - Space for innovative grip designs in pens, incorporating functionalities like improved ergonomics and better grip for various scenarios.
Industry Implications
1. Writing Instruments - Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in the writing instruments industry, specifically in the development of versatile ink refills and premium titanium alloy pens.
2. Self-defense Tools - The self-defense tools industry has potential for disruption through the creation of tactical pens with improved grip designs for better usability in defensive situations.
3. Emergency Preparedness - In the emergency preparedness industry, there is an opportunity to introduce innovative pens with tungsten tips that can break glass in emergency incidents.
