This channel has cost me a fortune
Same.
Spent like $800 on a wallet, watch and knife this week
Jordan Gulley lol I just got into edc and I’m at 1500 in two weeks not including my iPhone and AirPods that I already had for years. 1100 on 3 knives and 300 on a wallet, lanyards and belt organizer for work. And 100 for a pen.
@@PlMPinDlSTRESS just hearing that i can feel my wallet shrivel in sadness... may I ask what wallet you got tho... asking for a friend
Their website is down right now 🙁
Dude, your videos/audio quality is always top notch. Shows you put time and effort into your content. Much respect! 👊
I second that bro!!!!
Thank you!
Just bought one. I'm super stoked!
I ordered mine about a month ago. Can’t wait for it to come in.
Kelvin makes great pens, who happens to be a great guy as well! I have the bolt pencil as well and one of his original titanium hi-liter markers
Great Vid. I enjoy watching your Vids Bro. You’re so good at organizing your EDC items. Keep up the GREAT work!!! 🙌🏻✌🏻💯😀🤙🏻
OMG😱 I love the new intro Taylor 👍🏽
These pens look great! The normal push actuator on my current pen is slightly annoying for the exact reason mentioned in the video! Need to look into getting one...
Really like that that clip idea
Just checked the website and the price is up to $139! Yowch! Ill stick to my Pilot G2
Their V2 full size with a G2 1.0mm is my go-to! I love my TT SideClick but I have a tendency to accidentally deploy it in my pocket, so it's relegated to occasional use.
Loving the content! Keep it up!
Hey, I'm new to the channel ! And "edc".. loving the content here ! Although I must say my heart dropped when I saw how much that pen was 😂.. it is beautiful though !
I subscribe to ur channel some time ago and only recently was I shopping for a brass pen for my edc. Which I'm actually taking more seriously. I used ur link and I actually got $5bucks off. So thx I appreciate what u do and I look forward to many more vids.
Man great looking pens. For real these pens are top Notch pens. I'm really trying to get one. Oh I will, I will. I will get one. Maybe lol. Keep it up man, great job guys. 👍🏼👍🏼👌
I just received in the mail the Titaner TacTi stylus titanium pen with built in glass breaker/self defense tip. Love it so far and uses G2 refills which are easily accessible at pretty much any store. Also the best part about it is it still looks like a normal pen and not as Nick Shabazz would put it "A TACTICAL WEAPON OF WAR!!"
For anyone curious it was about $40
Years later watching this and I like these. Looks like they have a newer version but not expensive wondering what upgrades were made
Am I the only one who loves that clicking sound?!
Go watch asmr lol
Great, another "gadget" to annoy the wifey with
Between this and the tactile turn - this looks beautiful and like a gentleman's pen! Going with this. Can't decide between copper / brass (looks great, contrasty, patina) vs. titanium (durable and long lasting) 🙄
I love your videos Taylor!!!! Keep doing the damn thang!!!!
Thanks, Mia bot!
Heyyyy, lol. Not a bot... I'm a real humannnnn... lol
WHAT INSERT HAS THE THICKEST LINE? I AM BLIND/LOW VISION AND ID NEED IT TO HAVE A THINKER LINE FOR CONTRAST, THANKS!
Any recommendations for similar style pens (copper or brass) that takes two inks? So it probably would need to be double headed. Doesn't matter if it's retracting or capped. I carry a pen in my wallet w/ Field Notes and it would be nice to have two colours of ink.
I use a pen literally all the time, but I can’t bring myself to purchase a pen that expensive...I’m quite satisfied with the Fisher space bullet (brass)
It can definitely be a tough pill to swallow. I hadn't actually purchased an EDC pen yet myself until recently. Beware. It's a slippery slope.
saving up for one
Miss the bass drop from the intro. Love the video!
Love the video. Do you have an affiliate link for the schneider gelion refill?
Just curious have you posted a budget edc pen video?
I have had the Original Copper for a year and I love it, now I am waiting for a mini in titanium...... Sometimes you just want the time to fly....
Dude it's just a pen. I think you can tolerate the time moving at it's regular pace.
Useful!
If I’m looking into getting my first quality pen like this would you recommend the tactile turn, big idea design or the tiscribe?
I'm between this and a Techliner shorty
thoughts?
Do a video on the tool kit bag you keep in your backpack please
Sweet!!!
Digging the new intro!!
Thanks!
Rewatching this. It's a shame these pens are no longer available.
Where can I find a really nice twist to open pen?? Preferably a sleek slim one? I’m new to this and my google search was really difficult actually. Not a huge fan of clicker pens
Interesting that you don't have a plastic collar on your refills. Mine came with a small black plastic collar on the refill and it will not work without it.
How would you compare these in overall machining quality and durability to the Tactile Turn Bolt Action Short?
Thanks!
I find these (now the brand is Smooth Precision) MUCH better and smoother than Tactile Turn. More consistent and quiet spring, smoother action, refined chamfering everywhere but most notably the clip - and mine is still lightweight in bronze while remaining tough. On par with Big Idea Design overall, TT is lagging behind IMHO.
Any idea where I can find a we knives syrinx pen refill
do the mini Ti's come in that dark matte grey finish? because i love the look of those.
As far as I know, they're all stonewashed for now.
Thank you for my stickers!!!! i'm a grown man lol! no shame in my game i'll hook up a killer EDC with it in the picture :)
Thanks for the reminder! I intended to send them, but sometimes my mind needs a little shake to clear the cobwebs.
Question - the G2 Mini adapter kit - what is included in that exactly? Is it just a spring? I'm wondering if I could take a standard Pilot G2 pen, yank the spring from it, and trim the cartridge down to Parker-style length....would that work?
Dustin Gaddis Yes, as long as you’re not cutting off the gel behind the ink in the g2 refill. The gel will keep the ink from flowing out the back.
Is the v3 going to be better or just different?!?
The link of the website for tiscribe mini does not work!!! Any other links???
The pens are amazing looking there's no denying that. I would love to own one. But there is one really big thing stopping me. Is the facted not one email I have ever sent to ask a question has never been answerd. I find that very problem matake.
hes always answered me when i would message him on instagram
I have a question about pens like these, and I don’t mean this in a snarky way at all. Here goes. For quite a few years now I’ve been a [nearly] exclusive fountain pen writer. With the exception of when I’m out in wilderness these are the only kinds of pens I write with. In the world of fountain pens I’m used to a variety of price ranges and thinking about several considerations when choosing a pen. Off the cuff I’d say that about 30% to 40% of the decision to buy a pen comes down to appearance and how it feels in the hand, with everything else being about how the nib performs while writing. That’s where I’m coming from. Then I watch a video like this one-which I greatly enjoyed-which features some pretty expensive pens considering that nothing about them or their cost is unique to them. What I mean is that the part of the pen that delivers the ink to the paper (and the ink itself) is not actually part of the pen at all. It’s all a function of the insert, and we’re talking about pretty much off the shelf, office supply store inserts. So it seems like these $100 pens have $1 “nibs” and are being bought almost entirely based upon what I only consider to be a third of the reason to buy one pen over another. This is why I’m confused about pens like these. I’d love to have anyone shed some light on why they love and buy pens like these. Thanks!
Basically, it boils down to being a lifetime pen. Theoretically, if you don’t lose it, it’ll outlast you and buying refills is cheaper and more economical than buying hundreds or thousands of disposable pens.
@@BestDamnEDC Owning something durable and long-lasting I definitely get. I guess I just find it confusing to spend so much on something that doesn't give you a more upgraded writing experience. I guess we all have different things we're looking for. As far as economy, buying a bottle of fountain pen ink can last for a very long time.
@@AaronPeabody To some degree, at least for a portion of "the EDC community" it has become as much about the status of how much you've spent for an item as it is its usefulness and/or value. A $7.00 Zebra F-701 will easily last as long as one of these, so it really does become more about the status of having a luxury item. "EDC" has really become detached from being equivalent to "survival" when it comes to gear.
That being said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Spending money on something that makes you happy, even if a much, much cheaper and equally functional item is available is a normal part of all hobbies and interests, and it's a very personal thing. Nothing wrong with it at all. Unless...you start to try to make the case that an item like this is a necessity for EDC and/or survival, because that's simply not the case. This is a luxury item that conveys status, which is fine. But let's not pretend that it is superior in terms of its intended function, because that isn't accurate.
Influencers like this guy (maybe not him specifically, I can't say) get a lot of these kinds of items for free in exchange for making videos and making others feel like they need them. It's an expensive version of "show and tell." Again, that's ok, you just need to be eyes wide open to that reality.
Where is the best place to buy gelion 39?
Hey where can I buy these now?? Website doesn’t work
yes but the TiScribe-Bolt Titanium V2 LTW is sold oouuutt!!!!
If I drop these would they break? I need something stupidly durable
Quick question?
What is the purpose or use of an EDC pen in comparison to a regular pen?
Other than the material, what makes it a $79-$99 Pen?
What "EDC" use other than writing with it can someone get for $99?
Plausible deniability
Have you noticed any staining on your clothes are your fingers or hands I’m using copper or brass pins
Very interested but I have a couple questions that I haven’t been able to find answers to by googling.
1) what’s the deal with the bolt action design? As in - what is the benefit?
2) what is “tactical” about these pens? I guess by that I mean why wouldn’t I carry just a regular pen?
Caveat to the comment - I’m gonna buy one anyway just because I want one.
One of the benefits of bolt action, I mentioned in the video. It's more difficult to actuate in the pocket or accidentally. The other reason also partially answers your second question. Bolt actions are more rudimentary than click pens and less likely to wear out than a click pen. They still can, with lots and lots of use. But not before you've more than gotten your money's worth out of it.
These aren't tactical at all. They're simply heirloom quality pens, meaning it could be the last pen you'd ever need (if taken care of). Ergo, the reason you'd carry something like this is for the admiration of the design, engineering, something being made entirely in America, etc. Reasons abound and they're different for everyone.
@@BestDamnEDC Thanks for taking the time to reply. Love the channel.
Hi Best Damn EDC :)
Where should my money go TiScribe-Mini Copper V2 or Tactile Turn Bronze Bolt Action Pen....??? :)
Check out Karas Kustoms... the EDK is a nice pen...
TiScribe Bolt Mini or Machine Era Co. Field Pen?
That's tough. I don't have experience with the Field Pen, but I'd probably go with bolt action.
Best Damn EDC They are both bolt action pens that utilize the clip as the bolt. I have the Field Pen and preordered the Bolt Mini. As you can tell, my choice is both lol
ETA: if you like the small size of the Mini Bolt because it fits in the various organizers better... the Field Pen is as slim and is more in line size wise with a Fisher Bullet X750 space pen when closed.
Taylor!! Can you please do a comparison video of the Ace Beam TK-16 VS the Olight Baton S1R II!!!! I’m trying to decide which one is better!!!!
holy… 120 bucks for a 4.7 inch pen. jeez man thats insane
Tbh I use a paper mate ink joy gel pen. It’s the fastest drying gel pen I’ve found and weight if the biggest factor for me.
When will u make another EDC weekly
Next Friday
Lol they are using the same containers we get our CNC Mill and CNC Lathe Tooling Inserts in
The copper one 👌I don’t edc a pen idk why but I’m going too know
If you love copper but don't like the weight, I would definitely recommend these. They're still lightweight, which can't be said of all copper pens.
We do a lot of construction and we use pencils to mark things so I normally don’t carry a pen and agreed 1.3 ounces is nothing
Genuine question, who uses a pen every day?
Every work day.
I use a pen 5-6 days/week and 8-12 hours/day
Zebra f-301 ballpoint pen since 2008 every day at work and weekends too . I used to be able to get refills at Staples but this is becoming more difficult. I have also seen multi-packs of these pens at Sam's. This pen is my EDC.
I do, the old tactile turn copper glider. Every day. Church on Sundays for notes in my bible. Monday-Saturday for school, flight school, keeping track of my old truck’s gas mileage, notes about things, my journal, and bible study, signing stuff, fidgeting with... My pen is a staple in my edc, just as my knife, and flashlight are.
I write daily so I got a Lamy Logo 406 in a loop on my notebook and a Fisher cap a matic in my pants pocket. The Lamy is being used 3 times a day, the Fisher 3 times a week I guess. Leaving home without a knife works for me, going without a pen makes me miss something.
Want one. But because I work for a living I can’t justify spending it because I’d lose it.
Been gone so long the intro is different 😳
lol This is the first time I used the new intro.
100- 299 BUCKS??? Crazy, you had to have got um free!
nice pens i have 1 small problem with the one's you are showing they cant not be classed as tactical pens as they are to short other than that they look nice
You rely on a kubaton pen for self defense?
Lol
@@TKO593 no the pen's i have are multi-tool tactical pens as they have tool inside the pen like screw driver Hex nut tool bottle opener its made of titanium with glass breaker/scribe
Pre-Ordered one of these. Order was delayed twice then I got an email they didn't have enough to fill the order (3rd delay). Nevermind.
Woo first comment !
Plz sell me one:( everyone is sold out. I’m looking for a titanium version
I like pens with caps. If you loan someone your pen HOLD ON TO the cap. They are less likely to instinctively put it in their pocket. That said, I'd lose friends if my $100!!!! PEN went into someone's pocket, even "accidentally".

Yeet
Thanks, you just cost me (13) a hundred dollars.
To me, there is no point to an EDC pen if it can't write on an angle, upside down, on h20/grease etc. In other words, it must take a fisher sp refill. These are REALLY nice pens but I just won't pay that much for a pen (I do LOVE pens and have a nice collection) . As much as I would love this bolt action, i don't like copper or brass so of course, the most expensive one is the one I'd want. So for now I'll stick to the most under rated EDC pen out there; the Fisher TELESCOPING pen. I've used so many pens, some over $300 (gift) but for EDC, i come back to my Fischer telescoping pen. Right size, never fails, great price.
Crazy to have a pen video/review and not even show or mention how it writes. It is a pen after all. lol. But it’s like that’s not even important. It’s all about the looks and the action..?? Not all of us have used those other pens you mentioned that are comparable to this.
That’s entirely dependent upon the refill you put in it. It comes with a specific refill by default, but you can swap it for something else if you wish, which means you’re sort of in control of that aspect.
Wait, why do you need this pen though as a survival EDC? Just keep some g2 and sharpie around and worst case a stick with some fire and a light weight pencil sharpener. I do not understand why this is in everyone's EDC on Instagram unless this company is just very good at marketing and creating a need that doesn't exist.
I'll just stick with the Pilot G-2 05 not spending that much for just a pen that is going to get lost or stolen
$80 for a pen? really?
I don't get it. I'm sure they're excellent quality but you could have a lifetime of cheap pens for $80 and you'd never care about losing them.
That's exactly my thoughts. Was ready to buy,but not at that price point lol
This pen is worth max $15, anything over that only idiots would be hyped about to buy. But hey, if you got the $,go for it. I guess thats why a majority of the population is in debt...
@@gundam0816 so so true.
These nice af but no gel pen worth $100+ brother
Peen
$100 pen
$100. Fu*k that
Could you just round up the prices? It's so annoying and cluttery to keep hearing "ninety nine nine nine, sixty nine nine nine" etc it would be so much easier to hear just "one hundred, seventy" which also is what the price really is.
That, of all things is what annoys you? Me being too precise? Sorry, I will not be less precise because accuracy annoys you.
@@BestDamnEDC Not arguing, just giving my view on the matter. It's not about accuracy, it's just the fact that saying a number in a long way like that forces you (or atleast some people, ofc there are personal differences between people) to really concentrate to understand what the actual price is. $99,99 is in practice completely the same as $100, so I don't see what the benefit of being "more accurate" is. What purpose does this accuracy achieve?
And I'm actually a machinist so accuracy is very important to me. But a good machinist also knows what kind of accuracy is enough to achieve useable result :D
IMHO, u shoulda led with the price, so I could have stopped watching much sooner. ;-)
Hell no too expensive.
