Penknife Or Knifepen??
on: August 24, 2010, 11:50:53 AM
The Swisspen :D
I'm guessing this has been around for a while but I just saw this listed on Heinnie for £38  :o  Probably not flight safe  ::) That little white cross will give you away everytime :ahhh

This is the original SWISSPEN, the do-it-all pen with perfect weighted balance, pressurized space ink, and Victorinox® tools. Never tire of this favourite classic.

  • Durable Polymer Resin and Stainless
  • Victorinox® Classic Quality Tools: Scissors, Screwdriver, Nail File, Knife
  • Pressurized Ink Writes on Wet and Rough Surfaces and Upside-down
  • Smooth Twist-action Mechanism to Reveal Pen Tip
  • Ergonomic Clip for Easy-slide into Fabric

I've never owned one or had the desire to.  I think the ergonomics are awful and the price... well ::)
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

I can't imagine how you can use the scissors for more than just cutting a strand.  :think: Writing, and using the blade and the file seems to be OK from the pictures, but using the scissors...  :ahhh

You can get a Classic for a couple of quid, a nice Space pen for about £12 and then apply a small amount of gaffa tape and you have saved loadsa money :D

Thoroughly ridiculous idea.  the components on the back make the pen uncomfortable to write with for long periods of time, at least for me.

Definitely funky looking, though.

I've got one of those Wagner Pen's in Black/Silver; picked it up pretty cheap just to have an example.  Thought I would include it in a picture or two, but I've not managed to do it yet.  I agree basically it does not really work... but hey I could see it as emergency briefcase pen...

It's a nice idea, but what were they thinking when they decided to put the scissors there? :think:

As Nuph says; just buy a nice pen and a Classic or Swisslite.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.
