Sentryman Explorer Pen

This is a $5,270.00 pen. Seriously.

It is a hell of a pen, but that's a little out of control. Here's the details on what it does:

Incredibly innovative and functional, this piece was inspired by the needs of South Pole explorers. An artificial flint in the barrel creates a spark when struck against the magnesium material around the cap button, allowing explorers to light a fire, while a luminous cap ring enables the pen to be easily found in the dark. Unusually, the fountain pen forepart is interchangeable with a ballpoint forepart (included) – much better for writing a journal while on an expedition! The anodised aluminium barrel is strong but lightweight, and contrasts well with the polished palladium plated attributes.

There's only a 150 of them being made, and the site says that they're currently sold out. Which means that 150 people spent $5,270.00 on a pen.

You can check it out over at the Dunhill site HERE.
