Tactical pens from Nitecore – titanium and aluminium pens combining writing instrument and self-defence tool.
Premium materials for maximum durability and low weight
Full writing pen and tactical tool in one
Integrated tungsten carbide tip for breaking glass
Precision-crafted tactical pens from the premium manufacturer
Tactical pens are writing instruments designed for tough use. In daily life they function as premium ballpoint pens; in an emergency as a glass breaker or self-defence tool.
Nitecore offers two models: the NTP30 in solid titanium is ultralight and extremely durable. The NTP31 in aluminium offers the same tactical design at a lower price.
The premium tactical pen: solid titanium (Grade 5) with tungsten carbide glass breaker and Fisher Space Pen-compatible refills.
The budget-friendly alternative: same tactical design in anodised aluminium. Robust, lightweight with integrated glass breaker.
Tactical pens are legal in Switzerland and may be carried – they are classified as writing instruments. The glass breaker is designed for emergencies (e.g. breaking a car window in an accident).
| Model | Material | Weight | Glass breaker | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NTP30 | Titanium (Grade 5) | approx. 30 g | Tungsten carbide | CHF 138 |
| NTP31 | Aluminium (anodised) | approx. 28 g | Tungsten carbide | CHF 36 |

Nitecore is known for precision-crafted EDC gear. Both tactical pens come with a spare refill and premium gift box.
Yes, tactical pens are classified as writing instruments and are fully legal in Switzerland. They may also be carried in hand luggage (check airline policies).
The NTP30 is solid titanium – lighter, harder and corrosion-resistant. The NTP31 is anodised aluminium offering excellent value.
Both accept standard ballpoint refills. The NTP30 also accepts Fisher Space Pen refills that write upside down and in extreme temperatures.
Yes, the tungsten carbide tip is designed for this. Strike forcefully against the corner of the side window (not the windshield, which is laminated glass).
Both models weigh about 28–30 g and feel like premium writing instruments – not too heavy for daily use.
