I really like how the mechanical pencil and pen look so similar.

Oh I agree, I have several pens that have the mechanical pencils. My first preference is clutch pencils, then mechanical pencils, then pens and roller balls.

Does it have full metal body without any joints?
I wonder is it sturdy enough to poke with  :pok: (tactical pen) :P ?

Oh sorry, my military brat years kicked in...I hate when that happens.  :whistle:
Yes, it is one piece. To refill you unscrew the “clicker” and it refills from the top. It will last a life time.

Really loving this pen. My usual writing instrument is a 2mm pencil by Caran d’Ache. I’m having no problems at all with the pen so far.
