unfortunately, I had to change my initial 5-star review to a 1-star review. I have 12 types of pen refills, none of which fit this pen. I purchased extra fine G2 refills to go along with the pen because it is explicitly stated in an answer provided by the manufacturer about refills that G2 refills work for this–they don't. I'm not going to scour the gd earth for refills, so this will sit in a drawer until the end of time once the ink runs out. I would jam it directly into the designer's eye if presented with the opportunity.After further investigation, it turns out that this isn't even brass. It's some other lacquered metal. The tube is magnetic—I noticed this by happenstance when a whiteboard magnet I had in my bag stuck to it—brass shouldn't be. I scratch-tested the item to further verify, and discovered silvery metal just beneath the buttery veneer of bs.

Got this pen as an EDC, I can confirm its brass, No magnet sticking to it like the other post, even drilled it out (more on that later) and it was definitely brass. The ink after a few weeks started flowing really bad, constantly in an out. I wanted to put a fisher space pen refill in there, measured with caliper I knew it would be close. The SPR4 is what I ordered, it was a hair wider at the tip than the factory ink, 2.3mm vs 2.5mm. I drilled it out so it would fit, then had to cut some tubing to make spacers. For the length I cut the factory ink tube to make a spacer. But then it would fall forward, which i had a random piece of tubing on my desk I could slit and put over the end of the ink to stop that. Now its a much better pen than before.The screw on cap is slightly annoying when trying to be quick, but I like it since it wont open in my pocket. The clip with its hook shape can get caught when I don't want, but I like it better than no clip. The overall smooth outside though doesn't get caught and is robust enough to deal with everyday use.

Some say this is not a tactical pen, but I think it feels hefty enough that if held firmly it could cause some trauma using the cap end, if the clip is lifted to break off leaving a small spike it could cause even more damage, unfortunately you would need to replace the clip, it is indeed replaceable, can be screwed out, the only little gripe I have is that there is no way to secure the cap to the other end when writing, this may become mislayed, I somewhat solve this problem by using the pen with a notepad holder with the cap securely clipped onto the pad and just unscrew the pen for use, The pen is finely crafted and feels good, seem to be using Pilot G2 Gel roller ball fine refill, i am not sure about this though as i can not make out the markings on the plastic refill, looking like a normal pen while having the ability to quickly transform to something deadly has its advantages unlike other attack pens that may be immediately alert the potential attacker that you have something harmful.For the non securable cap i have deducted a star, it is a nice looking and nice writing pen so four stars.

Ok so overall I like the pen. solid construction, fit and finish is actually a little nicer than expected. Lock up between cap and pen is flawless this does make for a sharp edge near threads where you hold the pen to write which can become uncomfortable. Pinata is setting in after only a few days happy with the looks of it. However the pen doesn't actually write very well in fact I have resorted to carrying a clicker pen I found around the house because trying to get the pen to write consistently became stressful. There is no place to rest the cap which doesn't bother me personally but may bother some I think the look of threads on the back of the pen would kill the look. IF THE INK FLOW WAS ALIL BETTER.... FIVE STARS!!!! NO BRAINER

This thing is an amazing deal. Adds a touch of class to your EDC for a really low price. Medium weight. Writes smooth, and you can buy the refills on amazon very cheap. I have medium sized hands, larger palms and smaller fingers and I find it fits perfectly in my hand. Highly recommend.

This is the second one of these pens I have purchased, not because of any problem, but because I love the first one so much, and simply wanted a second for use at my office. This is an heirloom type pen, someday, my son may get one of them. I just hope I can still find ink cartridges for it for him.

This pen writes extremely well. as for the customer that said it wasn't brass. mine isn't magnetic like his. it doesn't look coated either. I like it. it also has some decent weight to it which is nice. so far so good, a great add to my EDC.

Nice weight, writes well, assembly is a bit tricky as it's hard to get the tip from the top since they are screwed together tightly but still possible. Great purchase thanks.
