When I first started at my agency, we had a good selection of pens available to us. If you're familiar with Skilcraft, you know that the quality runs the gamut from poor to surprisingly good. Recently, due to budget constraints, if you ask for pens, you get a couple rather than a full box. Unfortunately, most of these pens literally fall apart when you are writing with them. I still use them, some run out of ink, some leak ink, some are very well made pens (executive pens, because usually only executives get them first).
About five years ago I picked up a space pen from REI, with a space pen cartridge. I lost it several months ago, and quickly replaced it. It is a great knife, but I want something more durable. I work in an office, and don't need anything crazy, and always put my pen back in my shirt pocket. I've seen the TiBolt pen, and while I like it, I don't know if I can justify the price. I've looked at the Uzi/Benchmade etc pens, and really don't want anything tactical, they are too unwieldy, for my clumsy/neuropathy laden paws.
Custom, production. I'm not really looking for any of the higher end pens, like you would get at Staples or Office Max under glass. I've seen quite a few knife makers coming out with pens, not all tactical, but like the TiBolt, something fun to play with but also well made.
I will also use this pen at home, camping, fishing etc. To make it easier to refill, it would be nice if it took a space pen cartridge. Pics and links would be a big help.
As I said, I have neuropathy, nerve damage from diabetes, my fingers freeze up, arthritis, etc. I don't need any big fat pens but not those tiny little pens I've seen at office supply stores either (a small space pen, too unwieldy for fat fingers).
