We have more every carry pens than we could hope to use in an entire lifetime (quite a few from Kickstarter), but we’ve still needed to write something down on more than one occasion only to realize there wasn’t a pen in our pocket, within arm’s reach on our desk or in our car. The guys at Blank Forces have obviously been in similar situations, which is why they designed the EDC Ink pens to fit on your keys. With compact size, standard refills, tool-less ink replacement and durability at the top of the list of design requirements, the 304 stainless and brass X1 and X2 EDC Ink pens are the perfect addition to any EDC. The X1 is 3.2″ long, 0.31″ in diameter and weighs 0.83oz. The X2 is 4″ long, 0.31″ in diameter and weighs 1.1oz. Both are made with a 304 stainless steel body, brass tip and brass end screw, along with being available with custom engraving.
