U.S. Government Pen - Medium Point - Black Ink

This pen is absolutely a classic .It has an interesting history and I love everything about it .It writes well and is extremely "retro-cool"

アメリカの役所で使われているというボールペン。特に何と言ったことは無いですがU.S.GOVERNMENTと刻印されているのがそそります。今ドルも高いのでこの値段でしたら安いです。

These are the best field pens ever

Schreibt schwarz. Das Original aus dem Schurkenstaat. Bisschen kürzer als hierzulande übliche Kugelschreiber.

Others have spoken about their experiences with these pens while in the service or working for the federal government, so you can read about the history there and how these pens have become iconic. I particularly love the fact that they are crafted in the USA by blind workers. To put it concisely, these are great pens. They are made for work and get the job done smoothly. They aren't exactly made for gifting to someone because they aren't shiny with the latest barrel design. They write so well, they are comfortable in the hand, and they don't fail for no good reason. I have big hands, too, and there's no fatigue even after a long time of writing. My hands don't slide down the barrel while using these, either, which is a godsend. To some folks, these may seem like dinosaurs compared to modern writing instruments, but these are made so well and they are so well-engineered that newer pens have nothing on them. I'm in my 50s now, but I first started using these when my dad (who was a civilian working for the Army) brought them home from work and I "borrowed" them from his briefcase. They lasted so long, wrote smoothly, and were incredibly comfortable to use, so anytime I found one, it was mine! When I went off to college, I didn't have ready access to them, so I stopped using them. Just recently, I was thinking about my dad and remembering those pens, so I looked around and found them on Amazon. I wasn't even sure that they were still manufactured. They are just as good today as they were then, so I have a package of them at work with me. I am the head of the company, so I may have my assistant get more for a few of the departments, if they want to try them. Anyway, I rambled, but trust me when I say that these are worth every penny. Make sure to get the medium point black ink version. Also, make sure to get the ones that say "Skilcraft U.S. Government" on them. I'm sure the other Skilcraft offerings are great, but the ones I'm recommending are truly the best!
