Benchmade Longhand and Shorthand pens are FINALLY dropping today. This line consists of two sizes and two material options (303 stainless steel and black 6061-T6 aluminum).

Benchmade is committed to creating premium tools with purpose-driven design; these pens continue that mission. Their EDC-inspired design ensures that they are easy to carry, while also being comfortable to write with. They both feature precision machined knurling and grooves, in addition to a slick AXIS® style bolt-action mechanism. Both Shorthand and Longhand models use Fisher Space Pen cartridges, ensuring they will work, no matter the conditions. Both models are ready for travel the globe or be the go-to pen for the office.

The solid construction and ergonomics of these pens ensure that it can be used for more than just writing a letter, if the worst-case situation calls for it. And for that reason, I think these pens may have more might than a sword, simply because you can carry one of these with you just about everywhere, unlike a sword…

Like every Benchmade knife, these pens are created at their Oregon City, OR factory.
