Budget Tactical Pens - Great tactical gift option!

One of my knife buddies asked me to find and order a budget tactical pen for him to try out.
I've agreed, but with a condition that I will have a chance to review it before I will give it to him.
Eventually, I've ordered 2 pens to try out and these are their reviews:

1. The most budget and common version - unbranded black colored Aluminum Tactical Pen.

Pros:

• Great value: this pen costs only $4 but feels more expensive.
• Good quality: the aluminum body and the screwing cap give this pen an awesome secure feel that it won't fall apart when carried and used.
• Writing: any pen (even a tactical one) needs to write. This pen comes with a black unbranded insert (and a spare black one in the package) that writes pretty well in all directions. The big plus is that the insert is a standard Parker one, so a quality replacement can be found without much trouble.
• Pretty good ergonomics - the pen feels good and secure in hand in both open and closed positions.

Cons:

• Pocket clip: feels a little flimsy.
• The tip is pointy and doesn't scratch glass - this means it isn't hardened and won't break glass easily.
• Comes without a gift box, wrapped in bubble wrap.

1. Perforated gun-metal color unbranded Aluminum Tactical Pen.

Pros:

• Comes in a good quality black cardboard gift box and with a spare blue refill, also Parker compatible.
• Also has great value (cost me $7.99) and quality, has rubber bands on all the screwings to prevent unwanted unscrewing.
• Great deep carry pocket clip
• The tip is made from Tungsten or hardened steel (scratches glass).
• The cap can be screwed on the other side.
• Writes well, on the same level as the more affordable one.

Cons:

• Not the best ergonomics in the open position.
• Would be better with less perforations IMO.

The Verdict - both pens will give you or the person you are gifting this pen to (more suited for a man than a woman) a chance to try out a tactical pen, and even if they are not into tactical stuff - they will still appreciate the strong build and can still use them as... pens!
