It not steel. Its not gold. Its got no fisher refills. It has neither a premium price or premium feel.
But what it is is reliable, convenient, and trusted by me. Ive carried one through almost every type of weather, terrain, and temperature. Lost it after a year and a change in the godforsaken draws of Fort Bragg training areas.

I'm looking for the government spec sheet that was used to create the Skilcraft Ball-Point Pen, from the 1960's.
I've searched, but have been unsuccessful. Does anyone know if it's online and has a link?
Thanks.
So we just got a Skilcraft gemstone tumbler from my dad as a "prize" for my 4 year old son son doing so well with potty training. (He loves rocks and so do I, so i figured we could enjoy a hobby together. While encouraging a healthy hobby for him in the future.) Does anyone own one of these? Any tips or tricks on using them? We have a batch of agates tumbling right now in the course stage.
You all know which pen I'm talking about.
I swear though, these pens used to be all metal? Am I crazy, or did the pen barrels become plastic a couple years ago?
I found this kit cheap at a thrift store, but, well, the instructions aren't exactly in good condition. I'm praying someone here has built this kit and is able to scan or transcribe the instructions. I've searched the internet already, but can only find other people looking for the same thing, and one person who had the instructions but no longer has the file. Any help is appreciated.
If you're anything like me, you spend a ridiculous amount of time on Reddit. If so, you may have come across lots of redditors praising Skilcraft US Government pens. I know I did, so I decided to buy a pack on Amazon. They arrived recently and I can honestly say they're fantastic! If you've seen these before I'd recommend them, super easy to write with and hard wearing from what I can tell. Anybody else been pleasantly surprised by a Reddit recommendation?
They make literally everything for us (military). The toilet paper chafes your asshole, the pens don't write, all of the office supplies suck and the uniforms they make for us often times either blow out at the crotch or are fucking uneven. I'm all for helping the blind but can we give them a job that doesn't require being able to see shit.
What are your thoughts on the Sklicraft US Government pen?
I understand how but I can't get the white cap out of the top assembly. here's the layout http://imgur.com/woBks3k
Does anyone know if it’s possible to source a cap for one of these? I got the new model with stylus tip cap, which I don’t use, and it’s ripping off. Just from handling and idiots who borrow it and think it’s an eraser. I know the old model has a hard plastic cap. Is there anyway to get one without buying another pen?
Seems like a lot of people praise the Skilcraft U.S. Government for reasons. is it possible to buy them online at human prices? Amazon charges 30€ for a single pen, and eBay charges 15$ to 27$ of shipping fees for a pack of dozen.
