Are these Skilcraft pens high-end? 😉

Nope...but they get the job done...and they go fabulously [IMHO] with my mil spec CWU-36/P NOMEX flight jacket just like they did when I was in the military.

I recently started volunteering at the local Cincinnati [Ohio] Veterans Administrstion [VA] medical center where I’ll be driving disabled veterans around in golf carts...and these Skilcraft pens are all over the joint just like they were when I was on Navy active duty and in the Navy reserves in the 1980s and 1990s. When I saw these Skilcraft pens at the VA, the following occurred...

MD: “Oh, wow...can I have a few of those super awesome Skilcraft pens, please?” 👍

VA: “No problem, LT...how many do you want?”

MD: “Ummm...I’ll request 57, please!” 😁

VA: “Ummm...how about 2?”

MD: “OK...that’s cool...thanks!” 😎

Thanks, sir...I used the camera [and editing tools] on my fairly recently acquired iPad Pro. 👍

That IPad Pro heavy? Sure looks like the ol' biceps are getting a pump.

Well...the wife unit got me an aftermarket ZAGG protective case/keyboard for the iPad Pro...so the whole ensemble sort of seems a wee bit on the heavy side.

Both my parents were army and then VA until they retired, we have loads and I mean LOADS of those Skilcraft pens. Some are 40+ years old and still write, but just barely.

Pens do not take up space, so keep on amassing.

I’ve been using this Sakura Craft Lab pen that was designed by the Tokyo firm I consult / work for.

Not a shell casing. Made out of various materials, this one aluminum, here in MA I believe. This one is a short run of anodized aluminum.
