Pocket Shark is a pen that doubles as a knife
Sometimes, you just need to stab a dude but you only have a pen on you. If you have the Pocket Shark, no problemo, because the Pocket Shark is a pen designed for two things: writing and stabbing. For only $7 you get this handsome writing implement and also a way to carry a weapon around with you at all times without arousing suspicion. Awesome?

When you read something while you are surfing the net, you should at least re-read it before you post it here. DRONE is correct, it is not a knife. Just being picky, but it isn't a pen either, it is a permanent marker, much like a sharpie.

Cold Steel actually made a defense weapon called the "Sharkie", this looks like a more refined version. It's a self defense weapon use in much the same way as a kubaton. When used properly this can be a very versatile and effective tool against an assailant.
And YO, your a doofus, this is merely a heavy duty marker , made out of metal, to improve it's durability as a defense weapon.

Random Hero, its not made from metal, just thick plastic, and you are right, its not for stabbing but for bludgeoning.. And writing.

Yeah, I realized that after I posted. :) The original Sharkie is metal and this one is made out of a composite plastic and is part of the CS Nightshade series. I love CS products. Someof the best knives money can buy whether your wallet is thick or thin. :D

This is similar to a few tactical pens already out (although this is without the metal composition, and is a marker instead of pen) - and yeah, there's no knife to it... The ones I've seen include ones from SureFire, Timberline, TuffWriter, and Benchmade - those are pretty cool!

ok, this is dumb.
its NOT a knife, its basically a reinforced sharpie marker.
its plastic, so terrorist could use it... but they could do the same thing with a sharpie marker or a stick! if they start banning markers from airplanes, then i would be worried.

So the writer 'lied' - maybe a bit desperate to just post something online so he could get his commission check to get a happy meal.
If you were sleeping with the web page editor, and forgiven - then this article explains why it's posted. (( Who ever thought you could have a relationship between a pen and a weapon ))...
X-acto blades need not to be re-invented.

Clarification...There is no metal or blade in this version or the original Sharkie by Cold Steel. It is simply a fine point marker with a screw off cap. The body is extra thick and reinforced to be approx 8x stronger than a normal marker. It was designed as a self defense tool that legal to carry in all situations. It is actually very well made.
