I have been looking around a lot many pens, but almost all look aggressive, no matter what their claims are. While searching, I came across the Titaner brand, and they had the perfect pen I wanted - very normal looking, but tough to boot. Made entirely of titanium alloy (TC4), this is a lovely pen, and will ride in my pocket hopefully for quiet sometime now. What follows is a two week usability report, and I intend to update it as I use the pen.
The pen looks like a pen. The clip is robust and clips securely. The cap fits firmly on the body, and it takes some effort to pull it apart (I hope this will soften with usage). It is press-fit type, and there is no threading. The cap also does not attach to the body when writing due to the difference in diameters. The machining is top-notch, and the threads turn very smooth with no grittiness at all. The barrel is thick, and the entire pen weighs about 35 grams/1.23 oz (without the parker roller-ball refill), and is about 5 inches long. At the base there is a glass-breaker/attack point, but I am yet to use it for either purpose (and I doubt if I'll use it ever). It unscrews, and the threads here are very nicely machined as well. The pen comes in a velvet cover, and a parker fine-point roller ball refill.
Titaner was very quick at communication, and I received the pen within a week via DHL.
Now for some eye candy...
Business end. Notice it sits flush with the barrel
