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!” 😎

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.

I got pens collecting disease that I might need to see shrink ::facepalm1::

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.

Is that a shell casing?

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.
