What Makes it Tactical?

It was known to the Romans that a special blend of metals would leave a light mark on paper. It couldn’t be easily erased, as the mark was the result of oxidizing or "aging" of the paper itself. It would write indefinitely without refill, and was very strong. Centuries later, DaVinci would use this same technology for many of his drawings, allowing them to last through the ages without smudging or rubbing away. 

The "tactical" aspect all started with the US Foreign Service. Most embassies and government buildings here and abroad won't allow a gun or knife past their front doors. The embassy pen, a writing instrument that was designed with exceptional strength, was the useful solution that offered agents and ambassadors a needed self defense measure that was also discreet. Foreign service members found items like these so indispensable, they became standard government issue for our diplomats overseas. 

Our titanium Redox writing instrument has a pencil-like titanium body and a writing tip that will never wear out. Writes on most surfaces with a mark just a bit lighter than pencil. It is also a supremely capable self-defense tool. Let us be clear: We don’t condone poking anyone with your choice of writing device, but if you find yourself on the wrong side of the tracks, this is the device to have. In an emergency situation, the solid titanium shaft can be used to break, pry, or poke in a supremely capable way. Keep one in your briefcase or on your desk, and help is always close by if needed. Presented in a gift box, with pocket clip.
