Indeed, Cold Steel makes some mighty strong swords, but this little pen makes for some clever competition. It's the biggest, baddest, permanent marker around! Superficially, it shares many features common to most markers, but appearances can be deceptive. For starters, it's made from high impact plastic and features walls that are 4 times thicker than similar markers. This means it's built for impact and, in a self-defense emergency it can become an efficient Yawara stick for driving off an attacker. Plus, the screw-top cap will stay in place and won't pop off like a regular marker's cap would when you strike a percussion blow, or when obtaining joint locks or submission holds. | | | Features: | |

 Cheap self-defense weaponJan 12, 2009
By Meg S.
I wanted an inexpensive Kubotan stick to carry for self-defense, and the price was way better than the Benchmade tactical pens. Although the pen works well, it does not appear that one can get refills. Has a screw-on cap so it won't come off on impact. On first look, it appeared quite large but actually fit in my hand quite nicely and has a "rough" exterior to aid in gripping and a clip for carrying so its always handy. Since its made of glass-reinforced plastic (used for impact devices such as night sticks) and is in no way "sharp," I assume its okay to carry on an airplane, but don't know if it would be considered a Kubotan, which would have to checked rather than carried on. Will update if/when I use it for self-defense!

Sturdy and discreetJan 06, 2009

"Micro Wormhole"
Great product, very sturdy, you know you can use it without destroying the shaft, it is made for impact. Plus, it is not obvious as a weapon, wear it to the mall, to school, only if you think it's necessary of course.

This is cool!Feb 21, 2009

Not bad for the price. Don't buy it as a writing tool. This is a great 'pen' to carry, when you work in a rough office, if you get my drift.

 Perfect except for writingDec 15, 2008
By Chris Brenan
I want to give this item a higher rating because it is a great idea, well-made, and has some definite coolness factor. It's downfall, at least with the couple I've encountered, is that it really doesn't write very well, and doesn't even compare (in my estimation) to an actual sharpie.
Yes, I realize that this is intended to be a self-defense item disguised as a pen, but if you're going to bother being a pen, do it right. If you just want something for defense, get a stick specifically designed for that purpose. The trouble with trying to be convient - being a pen but not a very good one - is that you're probably going to start leaving it at home or w/e because it doesn't replace the marker it looks like.
I love the idea of the Sharkie, but really wish it was a better marker. Fatter tip, like sharpies of the same size, and, even more importantly, ink that flows and marks comparably to purpose-built writing utensils.

 hahahahahahahJan 16, 2009
By Mountain Medic
Would be a perfect item.
Except...
Except i didn't notice the size. It's not the same size as a sharpie marker. It's like a clown size marker! Bigger than a normal magic marker, won't even fit in a pocket right and forget wearing it in a shirt pocket. Worse... when you open it there's a tiny tiny little marker tip, like ity-bity little fine point pen tip.
Any coolness points for the giant marker lost by the jokes from the ladies about over-compensating.
Love the idea. Great in every way except that one.
But to me the whole idea was to have something indistinguishable from a normal Sharpie. This was way off the mark.
