depends. A solid metal pen? Probably not.

The tactical pens with knives inside, not a multi tool or something, the ones with actual full sized blades, im sure might get them a little excited lol.

Bic Atlantis, pack of 5 for probably $8 or so. Works good, lasts a long time.

I'm a huge fan of the Zebra pens. They're great quality, not super expensive, easy to find pretty much anywhere, and they make an all-metal pen called the F-701. You can get refills for fine, medium or bold point too, so whatever suits ya. It's the best one I've ever bought!

Sharpening a quill pen is where the name “pen knife” came from.

A Nashville layo last week had pens and pads of paper. It was like Christmas time.

I’ll bet the instructions read “Best used in Zero “G” Conditions.”
