Love the unassuming look, the solidness of it, and it's also just a good pen to write with too. Thanks guys
Udi B.
A great value for money tactical pen!
James C.
Great affordable tactical pen!
Alvaro U.
The design is simple yet sturdy and practical. Looks like any other pen. ️ which is important to conceal it properly.
Brian E.
I bought one for me from Amazon and realized it’s potential. Went back to buy 2 more for my son and friend and Amazon no longer carries them. I purposefully looks for the company and bought 2 more. Great daily carry piece of mind.
Lee F.
So good that I bought a couple more for family!!
Really good quality, well made.
Writes great and the tungsten tip is always ready

I have a number of tactical pens. The Rebel is comfortable, attractive, and functional at a price point that won’t break the bank. In fact, it’s of excellent quality and the equal of pens many times its cost. Great purchase!
Conner B.
The Atomic Bear Rebel tactical pen is a good tool, functional as a high quality pen yet also a simple and effective self-defense/martial arts weapon. This model really feels slim to carry and feels good in the hand, to me it has the perfect balance of enough weight to feel durable while also light enough to carry anywhere easily. It writes very smooth as a pen that can also take multiple cartridge replacements making it very easy and customizable. Most importantly it doesn't feel too "tactical" or built like its ready to withstand a war, just indiscreet and simple.
The only complaint I have is the fact that the pen cap cannot be attached to the pen when writing, so it leaves you with a floating cap that you have to unscrew to write with, which can be a little annoying. Otherwise it is a very nice pen overall.
Another great point to mention is the awesome support team from the company, they are very helpful and respond very quick. I had my initial package say it was delivered and was nowhere to be found. When I contacted them they got back very soon and sent me a replacement free of charge, only for my initial pen to show up a day later. They told me to keep it and enjoy it even after offering to send it back. I ended up with 2 quality pens and I know I will buy from them again!
Brian D.
Great pen light weight but very rugged Very stylish pen it does not look tactical.
Lee F.
Great pen to write with nice design love the perfect thickness of the grip.
I like how the Tungsten tip is always ready, the cap unscrews for the pen.
Very well made!
Just ordered a second as a present
RAY O.
Looks like it'll do what it supposed to.
I'll know or sure when it is in use.
Justin B.
I was looking for a tactical pen that looks like a normal pen. I think the Rebel definitely fits that description. However there are two things that would improve this to a 5 star pen. 1. The finish is way too slick. It looks nice but it is almost impossible to hold for writing. 2. The cap does not stay on top of the pen when in use. You either have to hold it or set it down on the table.
I can’t imagine these would be difficult fixes to an otherwise nice pen.
randy b.
Well made and passes for an ordinary ink pen
Ashley M.
Great pen, arrived quickly, seems to be solid build quality while also having a very stealth look and feel. Would recommend! :)
Faruk K.
Great tactical pen.
Mike B.
My daughter carries this pen whenever she is out and about in NY City.
Keith S.
Easily the best tactical pen I've owned so far. Quality is better than the competition. I'm surprised the price is so low.
Christopher M.
I love the Rebel Tactical Pen. It is well made, feels good, and writes smoothly. Also, it is more than capable in a self-defense situation.
omar c.
I like the build quality and reliability of these pens!
Robert P.
I like that it writes well, is very sturdy and looks like a regular pen. Very nice.
Jeremy L.
I learned about Atomic Bear after watching a collaborative video done with with Doug Marcaida. I loved the concept of a tactical pen. After reviewing the catalog I chose the Rebel because it looked discreet enough for me to carry to work without attracting attention. The box arrived within a few days and f the order. As a writing tool it odd very comfortable to use. I reviewed the free videos offered by the company and have been praying deploying the pen as a defensive tool. Weather I store it on a pants or shirt pocket, it is easy to get out. I am very happy with the product and plan on purchasing another pen for my wife.
Nathalie L.
High quality tactical pen, and very elegant too, completely blends in with work items.
Erik K.
I love the Rebel. Yea, the cap doesn't attach to the pen when removed, but it is not a big deal. I look at this as an extra self defense weapon and glass breaker. Will I ever need to use either? Probably not but better to have and not need then need and not have. I also like that the Rebel in no way looks tactical. It is just a sharp looking pen.
Vance S.
I show this to my wife, daughter and female friends.
JAMES D.
Great pen , it's not bulky in your hand and looks good. Sturdy & light to carry and always ready. Worth every nickel.
Thanks.
Simon H.
Nice piece of kit. I like the glass breaker at the business end, nice force multiplier backed up by thumb on pen top. Will definitely do what it's intended to & non aggressive appearance of this one is a bonus. Good gear, well done.
Nicolaus J.
Researched many tactical pens but most look too tactical but Rebel pen does not a d is unassuming
Simon G.
I bought it because it was least tactical looking defensive pen I could find.
In the UK we have be careful what carry
david k.
Good price, good quality, I would recommend.
Rajko S.
Flawless design, an EDC to have for a lifetime!
Craig S.
I have bought these pens previously and appreciate the quality. My daughter will graduate soon and will be moving away to college. I purchased these pens for her to use on campus as pens of course.
My only wish is shipping options other than usps, tracking was less than desirable.
Mike B.
My daughter preferred this to the polymer pen largely because it was metal and heavy. Doubt she will write with it, but will carry around NY city as a sort of equalizer.
I prefered the polymer pen because it's easier to write with, you don't need to remove a cap to write, and I'm 5"11 with average strength so comfortable with the lighter pen.
William M.
This is the second order of the Rebel Pen (there will be more). This second order are for gift to friends and family.
Every Day Carry (EDC). I believe when talking about EDC we all do this. Im just putting it to word (as short as possible
) My EDC starts with me, my mentle state / awareness. Next my appearance, Fitness and Training. Lastly and very. importantly my Rebel Pen. I travel across Canada a lot and yes there are sketchy areas (lots) I drive /Ride through. I tryed the UN-Gun and others BUT to large to showy etc. the Rebel Pen is the answer. I have one in my Truck, SUV, Motorcycle and on me always. So That is my EDC. Be safe Bill
Brian S.
If you want to look dangerous, this is not your tactical pen. It's a very sturdy piece of metal with an even sturdier point, and it LOOKS like a cheap plastic pen you wouldn't bother to pick up if you saw it laying by the water cooler. If we lived in a world where function beat form, there would be a hundred of these for every "tactical" pen that looks like Robocop's, uh... pen. Seriously, it's really good. The cap doesn't fit neatly on the top while you are writing, but that's a small complaint given the excellent quality and stealthy style of this very tactical, not at all tactical looking, tactical pen.
William M.
The Pen is everything it was promised to be. I have one in my Truck (sunvisor) and I in my SUV (sunvisor), quick and easy access. I will be purchasing 4 more pens for Christmas Gifts. Fantastic product.
Take Care
Bill
Yevhen S.
This pen attracts zero attention, looks like a regular pen, has a deep pocket clip, works as intended.
TERRY K.
I love it. It looks like a ink pen and writes like a ink pen. I've had several people comment on what a nice looking pen it is. I take it everywhere with me.
Oscar A.
Great Tactical pen
Love it!
Feels great on my hand,
Very strong easy to operate and looks like a real pen.
Jonathan S.
It feel’s indestructible. I ordered one for my wife and daughter to keep in their purses
Damjan G.
excellent quality, completely imperceptible, pleasant to write on
Jonathan S.
It feels indestructible! I ordered one for my daughter and wife to keep in their purses.
David M.
In the short time I have been using The Rebel i is a great tool that I clip to the inside of my pocket as part of my edc. I have relied on it several times for being a handy writing utensil. Not too big or small and just the right weight. I have even tried it with winter weight gloves.
I have also used The Rebel to conduct successful defensive tactic drills. Even with pads on it created the desired effect. It is made of quality materials to meet the demands of every day use as a writing or a defensive tool. I hope to use it as my “go to” for years to come.
The only two features that I would find helpful is the cap being retained on the other end while writing. Currently I clip it in my pocket but it mitigates a long pen that could feel better in a larger sized hand. The second is while the bent clip is to allow for an easier draw I find it getting occasionally getting caught on seatbelt or other clothing. Despite these two personal issues it is a great piece of equipment and at a reasonable price.

Renaud R.
I really love this tactical pen.
It's sturdy, feels great in the hand and is full of resources :
-Glass breaker,
-Designed for self defense (thumb rest on the top, resistant and well shaped body)
-Deep carry pocket clip
-Low profile
-And it also can be used to write
ALL I NEEDED
It's one of the best additions to my survival and self defense gear, in years.
I will buy a second one, for sure : that's the tactical pen I was looking for !
Thank you,
Renaud
Anthony Z.
Love this pen! It's an essential part of my edc. This is actually my second, my first one was a gift and fell out of my pocket at some point. I didn't hesitate to rebuy it for myself.
Raul Q.
Handsome looking pen
leland p.
Nice sturdy pen and smooth writing with a good price
Julian T.
The Rebel is a nice, solid well made instrument. Looks and feels good. It could certainly be used to do what its built for. I have large hands so it's a bit narrow to use as a daily pen but it does write well. Having to unscrew the pen cap before writing is an extra step but will keep the pen secure. Seems heavier than the Stealth Pen Pro by a few grams. It also feels a bit top heavy. Overall, it is fine.
Nick J.
I can’t tell you how much peace of mind the Rebel pen gives me. It’s definitely one of my EDC carry pieces because it’s so unassuming. One can pull it out in front of sophisticated company and no eyebrows raise. I don’t want to fight, but if you’re gonna try to beat on me you’ll think twice when your fist hits that solid piece. The Video of the lion trying to kill the little porcupine is what I’ll emulate. Thank you for the peace of mind a simple pen has given me.
DANIEL B.
Great pen. I think this will "fly" past TSA search. I have not tried this at the airport, but I was advised to "open" the pen as if you were to write with it, and out it with other pens in a pocket of your carry bag----looks like a PEN on xray.
Richard H.
It has become my favorite pen and I feel better when I work. I work in a liquor store in what they call the ghetto so we see alot of crime and get a lot of threats
Robert K.
Had it about 2-3 weeks & using it almost daily. Writes very well. Have not had to use the Defensive end of it yet but know it will work when needed. Thanks for a great product.
Michael D.
I recently purchased two Rebel tactical pens I like the way they look and feel it's Sleek design and color blends into all occasions. I like the screw cap there is no mechanism to break nothing shakes in the pen, it's solid reliable and write like a dream.
I like the clip because of the pens sleep design it's strong and helps me grip the pen I have some miles to go with this Rebel but I'm sure it's up for the task.
Victor M.
The main good caracteristic is that it does not call for atention, it looks like a pen, until you take the cap and beguin writing, the cap does not fix the extreme with the hard point, and people around you notice this, and then it looks like a weapon. Cap should hold the extreme of hard point.
Dianne W.
This is my most recent purchase from Atomic Bear. I love their tactical pens so much that I have given a couple to friends and have two myself. They write very well and I feel safer carrying one in my hand while walking through parking lots. They are a “must have” purse/pocket addition for personal safety, especially in today’s climate.
Theron M.
Does exactly what it's made to do. Looks clean, neat and functional. Much easier to wear and carry. Writes and, if necessary, can hurt someone. Grip is a little less easier than the SWAT version. But the ease of it is better.
Scott K.
Very happy with purchase! Great quality, amazing price. Purchased one, liked it so much, purchased a second. Thank you
Edgardo G.
I used it at work. Write nice.
JOHN F.
Very compact. Feels great in hand. Useful tool to have.
George C.
I love the sleek design ! It has a good feel in your hand for self defense and for breaking a windshield out . It's nice to have a self defense weapon like this that is not noticeable on me at all times.
William H.
My favorite EDC Tac Pen. I own several.
Ivan I.
Fells great to hold and handle and writes great as an added benefit
Kenneth K.
I really like this pen. It writes nice and you can leave it laying on your desk and it doesn't look like a Tactical Pen. The only issue I have is you have to unscrew the cap to write and there is no place to keep the cap once you removed the cap.
Troy L.
Writes very smoothly, feels good in the hand and would be a surprise to any would be attacker.
Donald M.
This is my third Rebel, because this is without doubt the best-looking tactical pen on the market! It’s made of aluminum, and has the requisite glass-breaker, with a great flat spot on the other end for resting the thumb, BUT…instead of looking like the working part of a tank, the Rebel is sleek and smooth, like a high-end ballpoint pen. And you just have to unscrew the cap to reveal the writing part of this pen. LOVE IT!!
Jerald S.
The Atomic Bear Rebel tactical pen is the sleekest tactical pen I have seen yet. It is a great pen and I'm sure if needed, it would hurt an attacker enough to make them think again about attacking.
Derek S.
My Rebel is great for a number of reasons. It's small, compact, and it's comfortable. Unlike other tactical pens, the Rebel is also disguised well as "just a pen." It is non-threatening (especially in settings where you may want/need to conceal it), but very effective as a self defense tool when needed. Great job on this one, Atomic Bear!!
Linda n.
Delivery was earlier than expected and the product is exactly what was expected.
Mike O.
I have a few of the Tac Pen's from different Mfr.'s (two of which are Atomic Bear). Hat's off to the men and women who designed the "Rebel". By FAR, my favorite to EDC. Badass and elegant to carry wearing blue jeans and a cowboy hat or a tailored suit! The perfect form of deceit is knowing you carry an exceptional defense tool without anyone else knowing it. Great tool for breaking glass in case of emergency and it writes good too; but not my personal usage, anyway. Great video that you provided for defensive usage of a Tac Pen. One of my favorite sayings, "One is none and Two is one". That's why I have more than one for myself and others that I care about. Thanks and keep up the good work!!
Matthew W.
Simply put this is one of the best tactical pens available on the market. I personally think it’s the best low profile designed tactical pen there is, even beating the CRKT Williams defence pens. When I’ve handed people the pen, they all assumed the tungsten tip was the writing end and it took them a few moments to figure out how to actually write with it, It just flys under the radar beautifully. It’s strong as nails and the tungsten tip serves as both a glass breaker and a great self defence tool for shock engagement. The clip has a lot of tension, you won’t ever worry about it falling out your pocket! And it incorporates a grove so you finger can lock around it nicely when it’s being used in action!
There is a few negatives to point out though; Personally I would like it just a little longer as I’m a fella with big hands. And It’s biggest drawback is the fact the cap does not sit on the end of the pen, granted the cap has the clip on it so it won’t roll away when you put it down or you can simply clip it on your pocket or onto whatever you’re writing on. But it does make it less desirable if you’re someone who writes a lot, plus the tungsten tip is exposed when you’re writing with it which has the potential for someone watching to question what you’re writing with. If the atomic bear ever upgraded their design so the cap fits on the end like their defender pen does. then I’d have no problems to Point out!!
This really is it’s only draw back and it isn’t the end of the world. I give it a 4.5 out of 5. It’s just the closest to perfection for me :)
Jerry N.
Love this pen. It has a "business professional" rather than tactical look. I had a problem with the ink cartridges in my first one & Atomic Bear promptly sent me a pack of new cartridges (still working great).
I though I'd lost that first one last week, so I ordered two more because "two is one, one is none," right? As soon as the new order was delivered, I found the first one clipped in the pocket of the shorts I'd forgot I'd worn. I guess "three means you have a spare?" I'm ok with that. Great instrument, great company.

Robert B.
Good pen and unobtrusive back-up if you need it.
Jamie J.
Nice tactical pen but there's no place to put the pen cover when you take it off and my pen would not write when I got it. Luckily I had spares.
walt s.
Great Tac pen on many levels! It’s well made and best of all doesn’t look like tactical pen! I’ve been questioned by TSA on a tactical pen that looked way too tactical. Super fast shipping and a solid quality product!
dan B.
awesome pens needs more color finishes to choose from
Michael H.
The purchase process was very easy, and the pen arrived more quickly than expected. It's very well made, easily mistaken for a normal pen. I also appreciate the inclusion of an extra ink cartridge. I wish, though, that the TSA didn't classify it as a weapon, so it goes in checked luggage just in case TSA is on their game that day.
John K.
Great tactical pen, one of the best I have purchased in a long time. I like the simple and sturdy design which does not make it obvious that it's a tactical pen. I love the fact it has an inbuilt glass breaking tip. This is one high quality tactical pen!
Giuseppe P.
I have been looking for a tactical pen that does not look like a tactical pen. This one is it. I like the that the strike point is outside the cap which makes it look like a regular pen at fist glance. The flat thumb rest is also discrete. Nicely done!
pavel d.
Nice pen and writes good. I like it because it doesn’t look like tactical pen.
Peyton R.
I love this pen. Extremely well made and very functional. I actually ended up ordering another one just to carry at work.
Charlie C.
I put The Atomic Bear ink pen to use as soon as I received it. The pen writes flawlessly, feels great in my hand and is simply the most low profile tac pen I have seen on the market. I advise any potential customer to purchase this ink pen.
Another reason I rate this pen five stars is their customer service. I had e-mail contact with Customer Service Agent Christina. Christina is very professional and knowledgeable about Atomic Bear products.
If I could rate this ink pen ten stars along with the Customer Service I would do so.
Please purchase this pen ASAP, you will not be sorry..
Sincerely,
Charlie C
Frederick Hutchins
Inconspicous
I can't speak much on its ability to penetrate a skull or to smash cat windows as those are too costly. But it does write well and does not draw attention the way some "tactical" pens seem to try to do. I find some comfort in the fact I wouldn't want to get hit with it. For now I recommend it.
Istvan G Tolnay
Best gift ever!
I have purchased this for my son-in-law and he loves it. I will come back to have one for myself, and maybe one for my son as well. Highly recommended seller!
Bil
Was ehhh but....
I wrote another review about my disappointment with the ink for the pens. After a quick response and a brief email conversation with Christina,I am raising my star rating. The customer service was fantastic and addressed my concerns quickly and above and beyond my expectations. Still working on a solution for the cap issue but I’m otherwise very pleased.
Bil
Ehhh
Love the feel of the pen but the cap can be annoying given it doesn’t fit on the back. Also the ink doesn’t seem to last very long. I ran through the 1st cartridge within the first 2-3 weeks of mild writing at work. The refill that came with it has been in for about 2 days and barely writes at all as in if I draw a circle, only half will actually write.
Gringo Americano
Great Value
Great tactical pen, especially for the price. Non-threatening appearance is great for travel. I just ordered a second one.
Carina Constancio
Best Tactical Pen for EDC
I absolutely love this pen!! I am on a college campus that does not allow weapons. The REBEL Pen does not look like a weapon at all and because it is a fully functional writing pen, I am able to carry it with me. Having this pen, definitely makes me feel safer and that I would be able to defend myself. An overall great pen that I love to use for self-defense and for its smooth writing feel. Easy to conceal and carry. I have even taken it onto airplanes with me, no problem at all! Absolutely, love it and definitely recommend it anyone! A great investment to make that will last a long time. I have dropped it several times on the ground and concrete, not even a scratch on it!
Thomas Graham
Awesome killer pen
Every nice pen and weapon that no one would suspect
John Trejo
Rebel
Absolutely love it.i write about 10 contracts
a day and after 2wks the pen ink just ran out.if I leave to work and I forget the pen I turn around and grab it.
David
Nice Pen
I have not used the tungsten tip, but it feels impactful. Great pen for a great price. It actually looks like a pen instead of a modern art display like some other tactical pens. I was planning on keeping it on my car visor but now I'm going to keep it in my pocket. The price and style are reasonable enough I could do both and store them around.
My only complaints are the cap does not snap to the top when writing and the unscrewing the cap can be inconvenient. Not enough for me to take away a star. This is my first tactical pen.
Daniel Ortiz
Tactical pen
Love it well built light weight looks great
Vernon Rudolph
Excellent Pen
I love this pen. I do have a couple of preferences I would have preferred. I would like to see a rollerball refill, just a personal preference. I would also like to see a way to attach the cap when you take it off so you don't lose it.
Again those are personal preferences and don't affect the quality of the pen in any way. The rollerball refill can be fixed with a trip to the office supply store. I have no problem recommending this pen for anyone.
The best part is it doesn't look like a tactical pen
Roger Hudson
Protection With Style
The Rebel Tactical Pen looks like a high end writing instrument but packs the punch and features you expect in a tactical pen. Sleek, strong and does not look like a weapon upon first glance so will not draw attention to what you are carrying.
