Inka Pen Review

published: 03/28/06 last updated: 03/28/06

I am usually not interested in reviewing Pens. The Inka Pen is different. It's high quality and versatility promises convinced me to take a closer look. I am a typical Pen losing human. I recently bought me a box of 50 Bic Pens to be able to lose more pens faster. I have carried the Inka Pen on my keys now the last week and I started to get attached to it.

Overview
The Inka Pen comes in two variations: The stainless steel model selling for $25 and the Titanium Pen selling for $89.95. I received the stainless steel Inka pen for testing. The pen features a pressurized ink cartridge to be able to write in any angle, altitude and temperature. The barrel is made from stainless steel (aerospace titanium in the more expensive model). The pen itself is carbon fiber making it extremely sturdy.

The pen is quickly accessible by pulling it out of the barrel. For longer writing the pen can be converted into a full sized one by screwing the barrel to the pen. As an additional benefit the Inka Pen is also a stylus for touch screens.
The Inka pen is design is lightweight and waterproof.

Performance
Writing really works in any angle. I have not climbed the Mount Everest to test how the pen writes at high altitudes. The pen writes fine when it is wet as well. What else to test on a pen?

Just pull the pen out of the barrel and write.

Unscrew the barrel from the key ring and screw it onto the pen part and you gut a full size pen to write letters home to your families.
