Touted as the "world's smallest, strongest, lightest pen," the Slughaus Nanopen aims to be an essential EDC item for those focused on daily utility. Measuring in at just 5cm in length and 0.75cm in diameter, the Nanopen is perhaps the most portable pen on the market. However, this size doesn't diminish the pen's durability as a solid aluminum design and a tungsten carbide tip ensure the pen can survive the roughest conditions. The size of the nanopen also allows it to be easiy carried on any keyring and hidden away in a small pack.
The Slughaus Nanopen also carries abilities beyond that of a regular pen. According to the manufactures, the pen can also be used to pierce open bags and strip the tape off packages. These abilities come from the pen's tungsten tip which can handle the abuse and still serve as a writing instrument.
