## Overview

The CRKT Williams Tactical Pen is a premium EDC tool crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum with a non-reflective bead blast finish.

Designed by former Army officer James Williams, this pen offers a lightweight, durable, and discreet solution for professionals who demand readiness and style in one compact instrument.

## Description

To everyone else they're stylish writing instruments designed with all of the fine qualities you would expect in a nice pen, but to you they're more than that. Former Army officer and martial arts instructor, James Williams applied his design expertise to the Williams tactical pen. For those of you familiar with the Hissatsu and the Hisshou, this new James Williams design is sure to be a welcome addition to your defensive edged tools. A clean, futuristic interpretation of one of mankind's basic tools, the tactical pen is a high-tech writing instrument that can be used as a self-defense enforcer if need be. Made from precision-machined aluminum and hard-coat color anodized, they offer long lasting durability and toughness. Available in non-reflective tactical black finish. The tapered body improves grip while adding a contemporary look. With some basic instruction or knowledge, one can readily use the pens against an assailant or attacker to inflict notice, pain or injury—thwarting an otherwise potentially defenseless act. And, they're just plain great writing instruments as well.Specifications:Open Length: 8.25"Weight: 1.2 oz (34.02g)Handle: 6061 AluminumStyle: Accessory

Review: Great pen AND a great case! - This is an outstanding tactical pen....a great writing instrument as well as a great self defense tool! AND, the case it comes in kinda helps soften the $37 price tag! LOL I carry this at work everyday and have written with it everyday as well. I took it apart when I first got it to replace the cartridge with a Fisher space pen refill and found that that's what it comes with already! It is a very good writing pen and the sleek design looks very nice and an unintimidating look to it unlike some tactical pens that look like weapons. As a self defense weapon this will DEFINITELY get the job done. Solidly built and a point on it that is very painful and could easily puncture if used full force impact. The only drawbacks I have found would be with the clip. It is extremely tight which can be good or bad depending on how you carry it. And its very high on the cap which means it rides very deep in the pen slot of my uniform. That combined with the really tight clip, and hardly having any pen sticking out to grab, makes it hard to get out sometimes. You could bend the clip slightly to loosen it up if this is an issue for you. Along with the awesome pen, it comes packaged in a VERY nice zippered ballistic nylon hard case! I pulled the foam pen holder out and now it easily carries two tactical pens, a mechanical pencil, a sharpie and an extra pen refill and leads. I highly recommend this pen.
Review: Fit for James Bond. - Marvelous pen! Out of all the tactical pens I viewed, this one stands out from all the competitors. First off, it actually looks like a pen and writes very well making it very practical in a business setting. The other monstrosities I viewed will most likely get security summoned if brandished in the office. This pen however looks very executive, its light and impressively durable. A gentle poke from this pen is uncomfortable. Apply speed and force and the CRKT becomes a formidable asset in a close quarters...situation. The paint chipped on the first use. But hey, it's aircraft grade aluminum, not Adamantium. Definitely recommend this pen for MI6, Spec Ops or simple self defense. Check it out and don't forget to goaceoff.com make your own luck!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you carry it to the airport?**
A: TL;DR- It depends who the TSA supervisor is, and put it in your carry-on bag rather than in a bucket by itself so it's less subject to scrutiny.

It's like getting anything else questionable through TSA... you can, until you can't. I had one of these and took it through many times. First time through there were only 3 people in the line so I stopped to ask a TSA agent if it was okay, so I could take it back to the car if it wasn't. He said he thought it was fine, but asked his supervisor and he confirmed. Fast forward to a year later, about 18 times I went through with the pen in my bag with no problems. This time I was dropping my kids off for an unaccompanied flight and we were a little tight on time. I had no baggage since I wasn't flying. I put the pen, along with my flashlight, keys, wallet, and shoes into the x-ray bucket. A TSA agent pulls my bin and calls for a supervisor, who tells me it's a kubaton and not allowed. There's no sense arguing with them but I did anyway, told them the name of the supervisor at the same airport who had specifically said it was okay last year. She said she didn't know that person but regardless, I can either take it back to my car or mail it home. Didn't have time to go back to the car and wait another 90 mins in line, and after waiting over 15 mins for them to bring an envelope in which to mail it, my kids were about to miss their flight so I ended up forfeiting the pen and they threw it in the confiscation bin. I was not allowed to retrieve it on the way out, even though the same TSA personnel were still working the scanners and remembered me.

**Q: I've found no mention of using the Williams Tac Pen for emergency glass breaking, so I'll ask owners: Any test or RL glass breaking done with this? TY**
A: The pointy part of the pen breaks glass.  I tested this out at a local junkyard.  This is another reason why I carry this pen everywhere with me.

**Q: Is this pen made in USA?**
A: I have tossed the packaging months ago and the pen itself does not say where it was made. Their website also did not mention where it was made. Therefore I would conclude it was made overseas as "Made in the USA" is a badge they would be proud of and would announce. Regardless, whoever made it did a first class job. After months of ownership and use, I am still very pleased.

**Q: Has anyone had trouble with TSA?**
A: Never tried. Bet they would take it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pen AND a great case!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good pen. Heavy. CKRT branding a possible 'giveaway'
*by W***D on December 29, 2024*

It's a pretty good pen, writes well. Solid metal construction means it'll have to go in the tray at TSA; the CKRT branding is front and center on the pocket clip, which may give it away to TSA as more than a pen. Consider painting / taping / removing the branding before you fly. Cap stays put over the pen. Also stays put on the back of the pen when you are using it as a pen. Long and solid enough to use one-handed as a pressure compliance device (ouch-bang-stick), but not so pointed or sharp to catch your pocket or tear skin easily.
