Comment on Japan Bans American Pens as “Weapons” by Anonymous:
Its a Benchmade 1100 and Ti model pen. Benchmade made them as a novelty item really. They are not made with self defense in mind. But Benchmade wanted to capture the cold steel style of their blades and make a pen that would be rugged and stylish for the Military, Police, Contractor or collector who fancies those things.
Though, calling them a weapon is odd. It would be VERY hard to penetrate skin with them, while the end is pointed its not sharp and quickly gets too thick. I doubt it would penetrate clothing and cause only light wounds.
That said. They may as well pan Umbrellas, Car Keys, Glasses (they can house blades) and other objects with a point. Not to mention regular pens and Calligraphy pens (now those fucksers are sharp)
But calling it a weapon simply because its made in steel and manufactured by a knife company is retarded.

So although it’s marketed as a PEN, it’s use is a hidden Kubotan disguised as a pen. It’s heavy duty construction is no joke or lie, it’s specially made with wavy duty materials to withstand abuse and preventing the pen from breaking.

From what I worked with airports and so forth, these self defense and cqb pens can be used on the plane or airport to threaten someone with less lethal to possibly puncture wounds to force the victim to hijack a plane or some type of other demand like money. Since these are disguised as pens, it will pass metal detectors and untrained TSA officers who use xrays as normal pens. I believe Japan is getting a bit too concerned because hardly any average civilian knows of this type of weapon. Yes it …
