The PK-TPE-BK:
Not your fathers Parker pen.
The black (bk) PK tactical pen- executive (tpe) is not your ordinary inkpen in ways that go way beyond the tactical aspects.
Looking at it your first impression may be that it looks like a surgical instrument for the psyopath. But in todays society where companies post signs telling the bad guys the building is full of sitting ducks disguised as office dwellers one has to decide how to defend ones self just in case.
Stapler? Not balanced. Letter opener? Banned by some companies; no dangerous objects rule. Adding machine? Yeah right. Computer mouse? Who are you kidding? That chain of paper clips is of no use. Smoking is banned so no ashtray to use as a throwing star (Jason Statham favorite). Hiding under the desk is out....
Enter the tactical inkpen.
But this deal is a real nice inkpen. Seriously. It's nice and weighty like those expensive pens when the screw on cap is attached. Writes well on todays recycled paper products where many pens struggle.
When you initially touch what you want to write on there is ink provided by the smooth writing ball point. No need to have something nearby to squiggle on to get it going. Rare in a non gel inkpen these days. Yet no smear like gel pens.
With the cap removed it is perfectly center weighted.
Cap fits well on the opposite end if you prefer.
Although it looks like a logo'd drill bit, it goes way beyond that.
The business end is carved out to fit the average finger in ways that allows it to become one with your fiinger tips. A very natural feel to the shapes as you write with the supplied Fisher space pen cartridge.
Not quite sure how the clip works tactically.
But it's form and function is very shirt pocket friendly.
Executives don't typically 'do pocket protectors' but opt for single stitch tailered linens or poly blends.
The curled end fits snug against the straight portion and the width allow it to gently slide on and off your pocket while not snagging loose threads.
End cap threads onto the business end.
Tip is gentle enough not to poke a hole in your pocket, but the shape is such that.... well.
And there is a (unseen in pic) hole through the tip to allow a nun-chuck producing lanyard attachment as well.
And incase you didn't know at a glance this is another well planned, well executed product from the fertile mind of PK , the trademark'd logo should seal that notion.
And heaven forbid worse comes to worse, you do at least have a potential kubotan instrument that may save your life in a darkened parking garage.
