Editorial Reviews:

As the saying goes, "the pen is mightier than the sword." Indeed, Cold Steel makes some mighty strong swords, but this little pen makes for some clever competition. It's the biggest, baddest, permanent marker around! Superficially, it shares many features common to most markers, but appearances can be deceptive. For starters, it's made from the glass-reinforced plastic, Grivory, the same tough material we use in our Nightshadeªseries, and features walls that are 4 times thicker than similar markers. This means it's built for impact and, in a self-defense emergency it can become an efficient Yawara stick for driving off an attacker. Plus, the screw-top cap will stay in place and won't pop off like a regular marker's cap would when you strike a percussion blow, or when obtaining joint locks or submission holds. It's easy to carry too. Just clip it to a shirt or coat pocket, or carry in your purse, pack or brief case. Don't spend another day without one!

Customer Rating:
Summary: Sturdy and discreet
Comment: Great product, very sturdy, you know you can use it without destroying the shaft, it is made for impact. Plus, it is not obvious as a weapon, wear it to the mall, to school, only if you think it's necessary of course.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Perfect except for writing
Comment: I want to give this item a higher rating because it is a great idea, well-made, and has some definite coolness factor. It's downfall, at least with the couple I've encountered, is that it really doesn't write very well, and doesn't even compare (in my estimation) to an actual sharpie.
Yes, I realize that this is intended to be a self-defense item disguised as a pen, but if you're going to bother being a pen, do it right. If you just want something for defense, get a stick specifically designed for that purpose. The trouble with trying to be convient - being a pen but not a very good one - is that you're probably going to start leaving it at home or w/e because it doesn't replace the marker it looks like.
I love the idea of the Sharkie, but really wish it was a better marker. Fatter tip, like sharpies of the same size, and, even more importantly, ink that flows and marks comparably to purpose-built writing utensils.
