The Surefire Pen

Here we have a pen for those who want a writing instrument that's top notch but still masculine and, most importantly, durable and functional enough for regular use. It's the SureFire Pen, from SureFire (of course), and among its list of features you'll find that it has a sleek, aerospace-grade aluminum body, a "virtually indestructible" stainless steel tip, and a tail cap that's designed to function as a window-breaker in an emergency. And how does it write? The SureFire pen is fully adjustable to accommodate almost any of your favorite ink cartridges, but to make things even easier it comes standard with its own easy flow cartridge featuring high-performance Schmidt® Technology.

A perfect gift for that hard-to-buy for guy on your holiday shopping list! $125

Visconti Divine Proportion Pen

It's not just movies that are being shown off at Cannes. Visconti pens took the opportunity of the film festival to debut their new Divine Proportion pen. They chose the Cannes Film Festival because the opening night movie was "The Da Vinci Code" and the novel talked about the mathematical relationship popularly known as "The Divine Proportion" which is seen as the essence of aesthetic perfection.

The golden mean (1.618) or phi ratio was used to develop the pen and including the length of the celluloid cap and barrel, the five-sided star shape of the inside, and the golden spiral or Nautilus barrel. The pen is trimmed in sterling silver and has a two-tone, 18K nib and a "Push & Pull" filling system. There is a riddle inside the pen, five numbers hidden inside the cap, clip, body and barrel of the pen. If you solve the riddle you win a golden Visconti inkwell. The pen is limited to 1,618 pieces in sterling silver and sells for $1290. There are also 618 gold-trimmed pens available.
