BIG IDEA DESIGN Ti Click EDC Pen- Stonewashed

I bought this for a buddy for a gift as he likes new gadgets. Well upon receiving it and as I was going to go give it to him, he messaged me about this amazing pen he had purchased. Yup same pen, haha. So I decided to keep it versus return it. Wow, comfortable and I can find ink cartridges out of the pens at the office i like and use them.Writes and holds amazing.I'd only buy one if you are into having a quality EDC kit on you at all times. otherwise just by a pack of the pens you like and lock them up in the office.

As per design specs and features. Works as mentioned.

I purchased this pen to use on my job as I work in law enforcement. Having a pen that I can depend on is important. The fit and finish on this pen is impeccable, and it's a very good looking pen. So far, every refill I've put in this pen works as that's one of the selling points, that it will work with over a hundred different types of refills. I debated on whether to get this one or the "slim" model. I'm glad I chose this one as it's very nice looking. The only advantage I saw of the slim model was the fact that regardless of which refill you put in it, the length stays the same. I recommend this pen to anyone who is a pen and edc nut like me.

Pros:-Fit and finish-Adaptability to use different ink cartridges-Single hand deployment and retraction of tip-NOT a "bolt action"Cons:-shorter than average pens-higher price compared to similar Ti pens-mushy clicker mechanismLet me start by saying that the craftsmanship of this pen is impeccable. There are no sharp edges, burrs, or imperfections that I can see or feel. I do wish that the edges of the pocket clip were beveled or rounded, though. The tension on the clip is just right. The clicking mechanism is mushy and a bit gritty. The grittiness was solved by adding a bit of lube. I presume part of the mushiness is due to the weak spring that is included. I will try to look for a stiffer spring to see if that helps.Before purchasing this, I was a bit skeptical about the way this pen adjusts to the different refills. I imagined it unscrewing and coming loose over time. There are 2 o-rings being used and the adjustments are positive and I don't belive it will become loose over time. I added a bit of rubber safe lube to the o-rings to make the adjustments smoother. Even after adding the lube, the adjustments are solid and firm.One thing of note is that this pen is much shorter than I expected. I know that size doesn't matter and it does not impede full functionality or comfort of using the pen, but it just feels a little... off. I've been using my Olight pens for a while which are about average length at 6 inches. With stock ink cartridge, this pen comes in at 5 inches. I included a pic of this pen next to a standard Sharpie and my Olight pen for comparison. Again, not a big issue, just something to note.The main reason I purchased this pen is because it can accommodate pressurized ink refills. I own 2 Olight pens, one in black, and the other is Ti, and they use proprietary cartridges. This is by design because the top end of the Olight pens house a green laser and a flashlight. There would not be enough clearance for many populat ink cartridges available on the market today. The included ink is acceptable. It does not write very smoothly and it is fine point which neither is to my liking. The ink does dry almost instantly so that's a plus. Since I plan on carrying both Ti pens, I was hoping the finish matched somewhat but alas, it does not. Not a dealbreaker by any means, though.I am by no means a pen aficionado. I'm just a gadget enthusiast. This pen definitely fits the bill for my needs and I would recommend it to anyone who likes "nice" thing.

Right size, easy to use. Daily use as a contractor.
