I'm selling these guys for $65 shipped.
I’ve been looking for an elegant and discreet tactical pen for several years. Unfortunately, the vast majority of tactical pens on the market today look like thinly disguised weapons with ink cartridges inside, and can draw unwanted attention.
Then about a month ago I discovered the Titaner Titanium Tactical Pen, and I immediately ordered one for testing and evaluation. After a month of carrying one around as my EDC, I’ve decided I want to start selling them.
To begin with, I really like titanium, as it offers the strength of steel, with 40% of the weight. However, what sets the Titaner Pen apart from other titanium tactical pens on the market is the fact that it is much more elegant and discreet. It is the size of a normal executive pen, and it has clean, modern lines that are totally non-threatening.
As you can see, the Titaner easily blends in, whereas a larger pen such as the Surefire may draw unwanted attention.
Despite its boardroom looks, the Titaner’s thick, TC4 Titanium construction ensures that it’s just as tough as the more aggressive looking designs.
I’ve been running kubaton drills with mine and it has held up very well to repeated pounding.
Here's a video I did to review it:

It also functions very well as a pen, as it uses the widely available Parker refill, which is made in France. Parker is one of the most popular brands of refills, so you should be able to find a cartridge that suits your tastes – including the Fisher Space pen cartridge (although I personally have always found the Fisher to be scratchy and unsatisfying.)
The pen does have one weakness, and that is the fact that the cap does not post on the back. I do not like that at all. However, any attempt to make the cap post would ruin the clean lines of the pen, so I’ve made my peace with it. If you absolutely have to have the cap post, stick with the Surefire 1 twisty.
Another factor to keep in mind is that the Titaner Titanium Tactical Pen is made in China. Ordinarily I would not be selling a Chinese made product, as I prefer to support US manufacturing whenever possible. However, this is a domestic Chinese design, which means it was designed and produced in China. I consider manufacturing the pen in the country it was designed to be totally different than the practice of designing in the US and then outsourcing the labor overseas.
The fact of the matter is that most of the US tactical pen designs are blatantly aggressive in their appearance, and that good folks at Titaner, who just happen to be Chinese, have come up with a better design. I have spoken to Joyce over at Titaner numerous times, and she has been beyond helpful and professional, and the workmanship on these pens is superb.
As such, I am proud to be offering them for sale.
The Titaner Titanium Tactical Pen is $65 shipped. I accept money orders and PayPal, please email me if interested.
