//5 Point Review Schrade Survival Pen
//Concept
// Combine different elements for survival into one convenient and practical package. The Schrade survival pen is also a decently ergonomic writing tool. To appeal to the majority of survival fans, this is a practical addition to a kit. The modular construction allows for creative possibilities for storage if so desired.

//Construction & Design
// Aluminum casing with stainless steel parts. The pen has a textured coating that provides some traction but is still slightly reflective and not a powdered feel. The various compartments all are screwed closed so the pen can have issues of separating with lots of movement. The best fix is to add some Teflon tape or other method of preventing accidental separation of the pen.
//Role & Application
// A smart way to combine various parts of a survival kit into one piece that's far more practical for normal people. The pen can also hide other objects and be used for tactical purposes. Overall the idea is a fun novelty, one that can cater to the imagination of many different demographics. Bottom line is the pen does work and is a unique piece of gear worth considering.
//Performance
// Added weight and bulk are a trade off for the included features. The pen writes well & is quite ergonomic. Compared to some other tactical pens this one doesn't fatigue the wrist quickly. Striking the fire steel is not difficult with proper technique.

//Final Impressions
//Overall this product is amazing. Hopefully in the future we will see additional combinations or kits for the pen. The pen starts as a fire starting and survival tool but should be viewed as a pen with storage compartments. With creativity this pen can serve to combine many other elements of survival and utility into an everyday tool that you can carry. Tic tacs? Wound Seal*?
