SkilcraftU.S. Government Pen - Medium Point - Blue Ink

This blue pen, like its black ink brother were mainstays during my 22 years in the Air Force. Unlike the black ink brother, this wasn't a required carry from day one. It was a pen then that you may have run across if your duties were in or around an admin function. If you did, you stashed it in your pocket quickly and whistled a tune as you stepped out of the office area. From then on, you carried it faithfully. Generally though, the Air Force's preferred color was black, but blue was a first substitute. It gained favor for the fact that if you held a sign order or document, you knew you were holding an original and not a zerox copy. Okay, that's it for my personal take on this pen's history. It's a good pen to have in your pocket. Small, compact. It does feel small in your hands. I have big hands. But, it writes smoothly and doesn't skip a beat. It will show its and tear, but for a pen that's about a dollar and small change in this box of 12, you can't beat. You won't lament its loss if you lose it. But I guarantee you that if you do misplace it, you will search the deepest waters, the darkest valleys and the highest mountains to find it. Only then, you'll grudgingly open the box up to pull out a replacement. All the while through time, you will hold out hope that your lost buddy will show up. :)

Bought these as a gift for a friend after seeing the company featured on CBS’s 60 Minutes. Great pens.

Love tho style of pen, writes smoothly

UPDATEI have discovered I can hang these wit little magnets all over the houseso useful to have a dedicated spot for the pen I can quickly grab andreturn when I am doneORIGINAL REVIEWGot 12 in a box, the description wasn't clear so I posted a picture to show what I got.They don't click smooth at first but they loosen up. They write for a long long time so there is plenty of time for them to loosen up.Box says they will write for 5000 feet.I prefer the medium tip, it lays down a smooth unbroken line.You can see my detailed review.
