I am particularly interested in UK members opinions on this, being from the UK myself. In tactical pens do you opt for a pointed end or do you opt for a more blunt end on your pen? I personally am not into buying really sharp pointed pens, as I just want a nice high quality, heavy-feeling sturdy pen that is always handy to have around. I already have a Boker Plus MPP pen, but I am wanting to get something nicer, better, even less pointed. Then I came up on the Maxpedition Spikata Pen which comes with two different ends. You can either have a pointed end or you can screw in the 3 layer stepped non-pointed end. I like the idea of the tri-step or what ever they call it because the idea of a pointed end of a pen just screams to me, personally, bad idea... I just imagine if someone caught such a falling pen, for example, that it would cause far more pain and injury than anyone should ever want or need.
My goal is to get a nice, non-agressive/passive looking metallic sturdy and good looking pen that will last me forever and if I need it in an truly life threatening emergency situation to convey a crucial message to someone promptly, then I have it somewhere that I might be able to get at it in time.
Never hurts to have a good looking sturdy pen around, hopefully never any way. I'm not a violent person, but if words fail and my life is actually in danger I would use anything around me to help me survive, if it got serious enough, using just enough force to halt an attack long enough to let me call the emergency services.
Any way, what are your thoughts on this pen thing? Pointed or blunt? Does the law concern you if you were in such a situation? Decency towards people alter your opinions/choices as it does mine? It's looks make you worry about what people will think about it and think about you for having it? etc
