The Bullet Ant 4.0 Integrates a Blade and Glass Breaker into a Titanium Pen
References: kickstarter
MeTool has introduced the Bullet Ant 4.0, a titanium EDC pen that combines writing functionality with several integrated tools. Weighing 32 grams, the pen features a bolt-action mechanism alongside a magnetic utility blade concealed within the body. Machined from titanium alloy, the cylindrical form incorporates a textured grip section and deep-carry pocket clip while maintaining the proportions of a conventional everyday carry pen. The compact construction is designed around modular components that can be accessed without significantly increasing the pen’s overall footprint.
Additional functions include a removable bit driver compatible with standard screwdriver bits and a tungsten steel glass breaker positioned at the rear of the body. A magnetic retention system secures the blade assembly when stored, while internal compartments organize the interchangeable components within the pen structure.
