New Skilcraft Ballpoint Pens - Box of 12 These ballpoint pens are supplied to U.S. government and military agencies by SKILCRAFT. They bear the "U.S. GOVERNMENT" stamp, a mark of their official use. NIB (National Industries for the Blind) provides products and services through its AbilityOne employment program, which supports the employment of visually impaired individuals. Many people with disabilities manufacture and sell various products to a consistent standard. SKILCRAFT was created by branding some of these products. Their product range is diverse, including office supplies, cleaning supplies, and everyday items like tableware. U.S. government and military agencies are required to prioritize the use of SKILCRAFT products. The primary supplier of these ballpoint pens is the U.S. military, accounting for about 60% of the total. The slightly smaller pen body is the perfect size for pen pockets on military uniforms. The pen's length, which is the same as 150 nautical miles on a flight chart, is also favored by Navy pilots. The ink in the sturdy brass core is smooth and writes well, allowing for continuous writing of 5,000 feet (approximately 1.5 km). Also, in true military fashion, the pen body can be used as a pipe for emergency tracheotomies.
