The Foldz Flat Pen is a stainless steel writing instrument with leather trim that folds down to the size of a credit card, for easy storage in your wallet. The design is interesting, but I’m not sure how comfortable it would be to write with due to the triangular shape that it folds into. I think I should do a series of wacky but useful pen reviews, what do you guys think? 🙂

Unfortunately, this particular pen is no longer available but you can check out some of these other mini pens.

    What an awful idea. My wallet is full enough with all of the other stuff. There are a multiplicity of ways to carry pens, including in a side pants pocket.

    As to other gadget pens, I have yet to see one that I would own and use. A weapon pen might be nice to have at hand on the right occasion, but I might be subject to arrest for not declaring it during my daily walks through the security magnometers in the courthouses.

  3. I actually had one of these. It worked great for about a month and probably would have worked even longer except for the small problem that those wings are very thin and prone to bending. After about a month of carrying mine around, while it still wrote fine it just did not feel right anymore and I ended up throwing it away.

  4. Ditto on the Space Pen, but I do think this looks like a fun thing to try.

    The plastic version looks like an interesting idea- I have this vision of “Official Gadgeteer Folding Pens” for sale, or as a part of a ‘Gadgeteer Survival Pack’.

  5. I have had the fold up pen for eight years and I love it!!!! Staples even has the correct size refills for new ink. Would not be without it as all I carry is a wallet—-would not be bothered with a purse.

  6. I just found my stainless steel folding pen. It actually fits well in my hand. Super handy and fits in a wallet or pants pocket well. The soft texture pads make it more comfortable and prevents it from sliding around in your hand when writing. Great gift idea. Fits in a journal easily enough. You would think with all the hype about journaling, EDC and just plain cool, this would be a hit today. I would buy another.

    Now I need to find a replacement ink cartridge.
