How do you think about "Steel pencil"?
I imagine a steel needle the same size and shape as a pencil.
It is very usual item I think, sometimes more than a knife! It can dig( destroy earth and take it by hand or any board), break, pick, stab, throw, and many many porpose.
It is lighter, more easy to carry and harder than many knives.
For self defence, if it is many Steel pencil, I can throw in middle length and stab in close length. I think it will not be controled as knives.

Well, if it's as long as a regular pen/pencil and it has no apparent use other than as a weapon (self-defense or otherwise), it'll be categorized as a weapon. Why?

1. Some girl-gangsters (and others) carry long (8") straight hairpins. Cops have confiscated them as weapons.

2. If you use a regular pen or pencil to stab someone, it will be deemed a weapon by its *use* in that instance.

Also, in general, anything which appears concealed (and is discovered) is going to smell suspicious. Particularly while passing through airports, attempting to conceal something like a steel pencil probably wouldn't be wise...

Hi guys...

Although it may get passed on inspection,, if you don't answer the questions and say something that makes sense,, you may as well carry a Delta Dart,, or a blade for that matter...

I've done several things like that in the past, usually involving ice picks in pens or pencils. For your idea I would take the metal cone and mechanical guts out of a Pentel mechanical pencil. Then I would replace the body with titanium or a high grade of aluminum. Transfer the clip to the pen as well. This is not a weapon per se it is merely a heavy-duty mechanical pencil.

If you use this for a non-pencil application, you may need to replace the pencil parts. These should cost about $5.00.

Steel would be so heavy that it would be conspicuous.

Oh, come on! Just carry a pair of ivory chopsticks. Nobody will question them.
In case you aren't familiar, they make an awesome yawari stick in the right hands.
 
Check out the Space pens. They are made of Aluminum, the top is wide enough to rest your thumb on.
Also, they will write on oily surfaces, upside down and in the freezing cold. For about $6 they are a really good pen. I have had mine for almost five years.

Search the Practical Tactical forum for "tactical pen." I have nothing to add to what I've already posted at present. When I do I'll post it in that forum.

Get a Rotring ball point pen. The one I have is built like a tank.

Them:"What's that clipped to your pocket, a beeper?"
Me:"Uuh....yeah, something like that."


 
Paul, Group

I also carry a Rotring tri-pen. Solid brass, and heavy. I actually carried it through the metal detector to jury duty.
