So I used to think Ti2 Pen = Ti2Pen = TiPen 2.0 before I realized Ti2 and Tactical Keychains are separate entities (although Mike and Brad seem to collaborate sometimes?)
Which leads to the question how the Ti2 Pen and TiPen compare?
dag.odenhallTi2 Pen was the first titanium pen on kickstarter and launched nearly 2 years ago (2 years tomorrow May 22nd). The philosophy was to create a minimal style pen that is void of cap retaining threads. We use orings which gives a nice cap fit feel and the orings come in a few colors you can change as the mood strikes you.
Side by Side the Ti2 Pen is bigger. Ti2 Pen has a 3/8" diameter body and 6" long Brad's TiPeN is 5/16" diameter body and just under 5"
Ti2 Pen uses the coveted HiTec C refill. Brad's TiPeN uses a Mont Blanc refill.
The names are similar, apologies for the confusion. I hope this helps clear it up :)

Ti2designI'm curious if Brad knew about the Ti2 Pen when deciding to make his TiPen. Quoting:
"I'm not a fan of large pens and I love Titanium. So where can I find a small Titanium Pen? I couldn't find a small pen that had any decent writing refill. There are other Titanium pens on the market but are just too large for me, or EXPENSIVE! So I set out to make a pen that I like."
So maybe it was the size difference that motivated him? @KickstarterBrad, you there? :-)
Personally I don't think I'd find the Ti2 Pen too large for me. Knowing myself I'll probably end up getting both pens although not sure I can justify the expense for either right now. This drop is tempting though, since I got a 12-pack G-TEC-C pens from Massdrop and I feel the plastic bodies don't make the pens justice.
dag.odenhallMike is my Waterjet Guy :) - TiPeN is alot smaller than the Ti2 Pen, My pen will actually fit inside his pen I think, it's gotta be close.
dag.odenhallOh yes, I knew about Mike's pen. He has sent me everything he has made, and I was a beta tester for his new pen aswell. We work together alot. My Pen was 100% based on size, I bought the tubing 1st, and figured out how to build a pen around it.
