The compact pen re-imagined

Macro Performance in a Micro Package.
It's always good to have a pen handy; it's a fundamental piece of EDC gear. But sometimes a full-size pen does't fit with your everyday carry. That's why TJB created the Stilwell; our take on the compact pen. It's small in size, but punches well above its weight class. With its minimal form, it will easily ride in your pocket all day, but when it's time to do work, the Stilwell is all business.

DETAILS MATTER
The Second Version of our Smallest Pen.
We’ve redesigned the Stilwell from the ground up, building on the history of the original and incorporating feedback from you, our customers. We’ve simplified the construction and made the Stilwell lighter, with a new barrel and cap design. We implemented an entirely new 3-part gasket system for easy, consistent and secure deployment. We’ve also made improvements to the lanyard to make it easier to tuck into the cap, and we’ve added machined-in dots (which match our new Burwell pen and our Cache River pocket tool) for better overall grip. It’s like the original Stilwell, but better.

- CSCaroline S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoExcellent Edc compact knife
This is great EDC pen - love that it can be both compact & full sized. It's very sleek, writes very nicely & looks awesome. I carry it daily.
- PPeterVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 years agoA Tool That Shares the Experience
I journal off and on and like to see a pen as more of a daily tool than anything. My journal consists largely of my experiences and seeing the brass on this pen age as I use it weirdly drives me to journal more frequently. It's like its along for the journey, collecting its own experiences through patina and scratches. The weight of it alone makes it feel more like a companion to the journal and I actually don't even want to write with any other pen unless its with this one.
Wow, got pretty deep there for a pen review... Time to put the coffee away...
- SWSteven W.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars3 years agoToo tight
Love it but a bit too tight to open cap. It’s not enough to knock it much. Perhaps it will break in.
- DSDerek S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 years agoCouldn’t be happier
Absolutely love this pen, picked it up after having issues with the quality and customer service form a different EDC company which will remain nameless. I reached out to JAMES and discussed my concerns due to the other pen, the customer service line was quick to say they stand behind their product and would help me out if I had any issues.
I’ve used my pen daily for the last week or so, writes smoothly and without issue. The compactness is great as it fits in my pocket or little edc pouch without any footprint.
- ALAaron L.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars3 years agoNeed to emphasize function over form.
The pen works great, super lightweight, great to carry, you never know it’s there, only gripe is they should’ve put the lanyard attachment to the cap side. Not the back of the pen side. Makes no sense to carry it connected to anything this way due to having to remove it completely from what it’s carried on. If the lanyard hole was on the cap side you could remove pen from keychain while having lid still attached. All in all it still works great just limits how I carry it. I was stoked to see it had a lanyard carry option just bummed when I put it to use and realized thus.
