A Pen That Does More Than Write
There are situations where having a small blade available is useful — opening packages, cutting cord, everyday utility tasks. And there are people who’d rather not carry something that looks like a tool or draws questions.
The Pen Knife is exactly what the name suggests: a working pen with a blade inside. It writes. It clips to a pocket or notebook. And if you need a cutting edge, you pull it apart.
Who This Pen Knife Is For
People who want a discreet utility blade that doesn’t look out of place in an office, a briefcase, or a shirt pocket. It’s practical for everyday cutting tasks — opening mail, trimming loose threads, scoring tape on a box.
It also appeals to people who simply prefer carrying fewer things. Instead of a pen and a separate knife, this combines both functions into one item that weighs less than an ounce. If you already carry a pen daily, this replaces it with something more versatile without adding anything to your pockets.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the Pen Knife if you want:
- A discreet cutting tool that looks like an ordinary pen
- Dual function — actual writing pen with included ink cartridge
- Ultralight carry at 0.06 lbs with standard pen dimensions
Consider something else if you need:
- A larger blade for heavy-duty cutting tasks — 2.13 inches is a utility size
- A locking blade mechanism — this design uses a twist-apart separation
Simple Design, Practical Function
The pen separates into two halves with a twist-and-pull motion. One half contains the ink cartridge and writes normally. The other half houses the 2.13-inch blade. When assembled, the pen looks and functions like any standard ballpoint — there’s nothing externally indicating it contains a blade.
The overall length of 5.38 inches is within normal pen dimensions, so it fits standard pen clips, pen holders, and shirt pockets without drawing attention. The pen cap covers the blade end when assembled, serving as both a writing cap and a safety measure. At 0.06 lbs, it adds essentially nothing to what you’re already carrying. Available in five finishes — Black, Silver, Gold, Red, and Camo — so you can match it to your preferences or professional environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this actually work as a pen?
Yes. It includes a functional ink cartridge and writes like a standard ballpoint pen. It’s not a novelty item that vaguely resembles a pen — it clips to paper, fits in pen holders, and puts ink on a page. When the ink runs out, standard replacement cartridges can be used.
How sharp is the blade?
The blade comes with a factory edge suitable for everyday cutting tasks — opening packages, cutting tape, light utility work. Like any blade, it will require occasional sharpening with regular use. The 2.13-inch length is designed for utility tasks, not heavy-duty cutting.
Can I take this through airport security or into government buildings?
No. Despite its pen-like appearance, this contains a blade and will be detected by security screening. It’s subject to the same restrictions as any other knife. Do not attempt to carry it into airports, courthouses, government buildings, schools, or any other location where blades are prohibited. Check local regulations for everyday carry in your area.
