As the name implies, if it is not shave related - but still pretty cool - tell us about it here.

Pics even better!

I did indeed get something cool!
Steel Will mini intrigue :)
Nice little cheap D2 steel flipper, also has cool blue anodised stand-offs.

No idea who considers them to actually be useful, however they typically are;
-Heavy (often too heavy)
-Pretty
-Offer a pointy tip of some description as a glass breaker.
-Almost invariably use a space pen refill.
-ideal for high speed, low drag operators such as myself.
I like pens so I agreed to take a look but the TWSBI Eco is my current favourite pen FWIW.

Flipper? Like flick - which I thought was illegal? Well that's what customs said about one knife I tried to import anyway.

Nope, your flip knives like the balisong remain illegal I think (haven’t checked as im not coordinated enough to use em anyway) but the flipper is just a one hand open, Applying pressure to the flipper tab allows you to overcome the detent and the knife flys open totally unassisted.
 
I’m interested in what makes a pen ‘tactical’

Mil Spec - can be used to pen a treatise, or put through someones throat while doing 'recco' in a silent take down I'm guessing.

Prohibited imports.

Exception if you have a letter from your state police commissioner for the specific article.

And yet sold everywhere.
Unless you mean the balisong?
