    Does anyone know of a Space Pen like pen made from Ti.

    I would like it to be 3" when closed and have a clip.

    Anyone??

    Smaller and lighter just what someone needs with larger hands. Bigger is better in my book.

    +1 on the XTS bandwagon! Thought I was happy enough with my pens even though they sometimes ride crooked in shorter pockets. But, noooooo, now I gotta go spend money on one of these....

    Guys - please report back on the XTS and what you think of it. I'm especially interested to hear if it has some heft to it and also on the strength of the clip.

    I love little pens like that - they're great for sticking on bags with molle or in organizer pouches. The fact that it's a stylus makes it even more desirable.

    Fisher Bullets are also "nearly" 4 inches long I would say this is similar length but a bit fatter.

    On the matter of the XTS:

    I was involved in the kickstarter, and received the full sized version before Christmas. I EDC a bead blasted TI county comm embassy pen, and love the idea of Ti pens, so I was looking forward to this one. When I received it, however, I was underwhelmed. Please, keep in mind this is based on personal preference, there was nothing defective about the pen, but it felt "cheap" and I don't know how else to describe it. First, it felt too light. I know Ti is light, that's one reason I like it, but the embassy pen has a heft to it that has, I guess, spoiled me. It makes me believe the walls of the pen are thin. Second, the finish was too smooth. With no knurling or texture, it didn't have a very good tactile quality for me. And finally, the threads for the cap were very shallow and thin. While they are probably completely strong enough, they made me feel afraid that I'd cross-thread it and ruin them. It worked great as a stylus, though, so I gave it to my mother for christmas and she loved it.

    Remember, this is all based on personal bias and preferences, but if your expectations of Ti pens are like mine, this opinion might be useful to you.
