If you need a weapon for self defense that’s concealed beyond recognition, you’re in luck!
A tactical pencil where the lead inside has been replaced with G10 might look innocent to the untrained eye, but believe me when I say it’s a WEAPON!
The VZ No.2 Tactical Pencils should be added immediately to your every day carry (EDC) kit or bug out bags. Being light weight and having a realistic look makes them easy to carry and conceal. They’re hand made in the USA from solid G-10, making them damn near unbreakable and invisible to metal detectors. They might look like a real pencil, but don’t expect to write an essay with one.
The sturdier, though slightly less pencil-like VZ Grips G10 Pencil is my personal favorite though, so let’s look at both of these amazing G10 tactical pencil options.
VZ Grips No. 2 G10 Tactical Pencil
VZ Grips is actually a gun grip manufacturer, but they decided to use their expertise in using a lot of these same materials in other survival gear and small weaponry.
The VZ Grips G10 Pencil is one of those “gadgets” that resulted from the manufacturing team branching out.
I use gadgets in quotations because it IS quite a good invention, although not a very technical weapon of course.
If you want a concealed way of defending yourself, this G10 No. 2 Pencil is your best friend, and I think at this point the only tactical pencil still available.

RIP – G10 Pencil Pusher
Of special note, an alternate product from GZ Grips was the Although the G10 Pencil Pusher which looked like a regular pencil with orange outer wood look, it’s been out of stock for a while and doesn’t seem to be getting back any time soon.
The G10 Pencil Pusher is an ultimate form of a weapon in disguise. Although it can’t actually write, it is almost indistinguishable from a real number 2 pencil in both visual and feel.
The real only difference is the solid G10 core where the lead is supposed to be.
This makes it incredibly strong and versatile for a variety of combat situations for special circumstance and non-permissible scenarios.
An ideal reverse concealed urban survival kit item for everyday carry.
- 1/8″ G10 Composite Core as The “Lead”
- Painted Actual Oak Wood Outer
- Sharpens Like a Real Pencil
- Does Not Set Off Metal Detectors
- Real and Operational Eraser End Cap
The G10 Pencils from VZ Grips are hand made in the United States of America.
