A Message That Means Everything to Us
I know you probably won't care, but I bought this pen for my husband on our son's anniversary of cancer treatment...
based on a recommendation from a Dad's oncology group. They told him to get him writing and vent his frustrations on paper, and what better way to do it than with a nice pen.
I just wanted to say thank you for calming my man and giving him some ability to let his anger go on paper...Our son is doing well, but it is still a journey. Thank you for the help he needed.
This email is why we do what we do. "Write Your Story With Us®" — at its core, this is exactly what that means. Every pen we machine, every mechanism we design, every order we ship — it’s all in service of moments like this one.

Love It!
"I love this pen — I really like the fact that I can not deploy it accidentally when it's in my pocket. It writes great and is very comfortable. It has quickly become my EDC favorite. Will be buying another one."
Best Click Pen I've Ever Owned
"Flawless fit and finish and total functionality! The click is so smooth it actually has a pneumatic feel to it. This is a product all Americans can be proud of. Forget all the other companies — get yourself a Nottingham pen and you will be set for life!"
Awesome Pencil!
"I love all my Nottingham pens and this pencil is no different. It's such a perfect feeling writing instrument. It feels so good in my hand. I never hesitate to order knowing the quality is going to be pristine from NTI."

I Love This Pen
"I needed a pen that wouldn't accidentally engage whilst on my hip. I love that double lock — it was exactly what I needed! Incredibly smooth action, and it just looks amazing. I've been asked about it almost every time I pull it out."
A Gift That Was a Big Hit
"This is my 4th Nottingham Tactical pen — I bought it as a gift for a coworker who was leaving for another job. It was a big hit. These are the most unique and high quality pens I have come across. The double lock is ingenious. I carry 2 Nottingham Tactical pens to work every day."
