Pen Knives are actual pens that could save your life. They look like an ordinary pen, but feature a 2.13 inch blade that is revealed by pulling the pen apart.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Not an effective letter opener... Comment: Perhaps it was my desire to be more like James Bond that propelled me into purchasing this pen knife, but now that I have it I have yet to find a practical use for it.
As stated in previous reviews the knife is not ideal for a self defense purpose and the twist mechanism is stiff which adds difficultly in deploying and retracting the pen.
I would not recommend using this as a letter opener since the blade is short and it takes several motions to open a standard envelope. Better to purchase one of Amazon's many letter openers.
Save your money for the vodka martinis and fine Turkish cigarettes.
Customer Rating: Summary: Sign your name in ink or blood Comment: This is a sturdy steel pen housing a sharp little knife in the barrel. The blade is stouter than I expected, with a rather steep triangular cross-section. It's great to have in most places where carrying an obvious knife would raise eyebrows. (People get upset about the darnedest things these days.)
It's suited for opening envelopes and packages, cutting tape or twine, and similar tasks. Before you even think of using it for self-defense, do a little experiment. Leaving the pen barrel ON, covering the blade, grip the "handle" or ink end of the pen and forcefully "stab" the other end into something solid. Now note where your hand is. If the blade were exposed, your hand would probably be in it, sliced and bleeding. Consider that, and then devote some thought and practice to "palm bracing" the knife.
I'd give the pen and the knife 5 stars if it wrote better, gripped better, and were heavier and sturdier, perhaps with a thick metal cap on the end so you'd have the option of using it as a pocket stick. But it's quite worth the asking price. We have several in our house.
