Schrade Pens: Tactical Combo Pen

Well built pen which presented a vintage looked fountain pen. I love using it to write on my Moleskine notebook. However a 38mm cartridge seems short-lasting. And I wonder what kind of converter it could use, since there is a metal "step" inside the barrel at the front position at about 38-40mm.

A fantastic, well built pen that writes well. I've knocked a star off for two reasons; with thecap screwed onto the back of the pen it makes it a bit cumbersome. Easily remedied by not screwing it on. Also, one of the ink cartridges was jammed inside the barrel of the pen when I opened the box and eventually had to be removed by putting a screw into the cartridge and pulling it out and ruining the cartridge. This was no fault of HH, they replied to my email very quickly when I asked for advice on removing it.

I carry a pen in a bomb proof box for writing reports and I use noodlers bulletproof in the pen I use a converter that is screw type - how to convert your new tactical pen to use a converter? - they (converters)are 8mm too long so you have to remove 8mm from the twist end of the converter then (dremel time) then widen the internal cylinder of the pen - a 7mm first drilled 10mm into the inside - then followed by an 8mm to a depth of 10mm - now my cut down converter fits perfect into my wider gauge pen - the pen is a tank, and great for cracking coconuts or writing a sonnet. I think i've found the christmas present for the wife she never wanted ;)
