Discrete Tactical Pens

The Fenix T5Ti Halberd Multitasks as a Pen and an Emergency Tool

— April 17, 2018 — Art & Design
The Fenix T5Ti Halberd is an excellent writing instrument with a solid design and impressive materials. Tactical Pens fit into a unique category of everyday items, as the challenge to create an intimidating but discrete tool is often misunderstood or taken to an extreme. However, this issue doesn't seem to be present in the Fenix T5Ti Halberd. The ergonomic shape fits well in the hand, but is not oversized and easily slides into a pocket or bag. Sporting several colorways, the pen ditches the black motif of most tactical pens in exchange for something more elegant and unassuming.

Constructed of a CNC-finished TC4 titanium alloy body, the pen weighs just 1.4 ounces but is also extremely durable to the elements. Machined grip surfaces on the body provide solid control over the writing instrument and ensures that it will stay in the hand even in the worst conditions. A tungsten bezel tip allows the Fenix T5Ti Halberd to be used in a tactical manner, whether that be as a self-defense tool or as a rescue emergency tool.
