AbilityOne® - NSN6911540 - B3 Aviator Multifunction Pen and Pencil - Sand Barrel - Medium Point - Black/Red Ink

It's the basic Skilcraft pen on steroids. The basic Skilcraft has been a part of every US Serviceman's kit for over fifty years and while functional, the plastic case is meh. This pen, which is standard issue for US Military pilots, has a metal case, two colors of ink and pencil. It's the Skilcraft pen we really wanted. Using it made me feel like I was back in the field writing one of the hundreds of reports I wrote in the past, but with a much better built pen. Skilcraft pens are made under the US Government's AbilityOne program that works with "LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired" affiliates to manufacture them. Buying this US made pen gives employment to many visual impaired people. Even without that info the pen is a solid value, but with the fact that it's made under the AbilityOne program you're buying an excellent pen that's made in America by people that deserve a good job. If you believe in "Buy American" then buy this pen.

First became aware of this pin/pencil when I was commissioned a Warrant Officer. A fellow Warrant Officer gave me one (Warrant's know all the good things). It met all my needs as an officer in the US Army. And it still meets my needs in the civilian world. It gets a lot of notice. Most people have not come across something like this. I let them use it and they are sold. Great product. I wish it they a stylus version like the black ones.

Love the pen! I've had a few already, this will be with me for as long as I can hold on to it. Long as noone borrows without giving it back to me.

Been using the pilot pens for 40+ years now. Always the black barrels. Then I saw these! Now I have a couple of "sand" colored pens in the collection. (I am a pen connoisseur kind of guy!!!) 👍🏻 The inks are great, pencil lead OK and mechanically functions well.

Long lasting! Survived the washer and dryer on an accidental wash. I use it everyday. Recommend!
