Darth Vader Pen Holder: The Pen is Mightier than the Lightsaber

I can’t keep up with my pens at all. At work, I am always cursing whoever that bastard pen thief is only to go out to my car and find every pen I am missing on the front seat. Naturally, I never admit that last fact to my co-workers. Maybe if I had an awesome pen like this I could keep up with it… but probably not.

This Darth Vader bust holds a pen that looks like the red blade of his light saber. The red pen is refillable and thankfully writes in black ink. There’s nothing worse than going to write out a check only to find out the pen writes in some weird color.

The EDC Pocket Bolt Pen: Pen-ultimate

Machined bolt pens are pretty cool. They have a durable build and satisfying clicking action. They also feel great in your hand. If you want a pen that can last you years, these are the pens you want. However, the EDC Pocket Bolt Pen takes things up a notch, adding in some extra elements and cool optional choices.

This machined bolt pen from Blank Forces does away with the typical size and weight. It measures just 4″ long and weighs only an ounce. So this pen is convenient to carry, while maintaining the durability and aesthetics of machined metal pen bodies.

It also has an auto-locking mechanism that engages every time the pen retracts, so you won’t get ink in your shirt pocket. It comes in round and hex versions in brass or stainless steel finish. You can also get it with a clip or a keychain ring, and with a laser-engraved ruler on its body. Basically, it looks like the best bolt pen around. Find it on Kickstarter right now.
