This small-batch production of Cerakote coated stainless pens honors the legacy of the UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter and the countless lifesaving and freedom-defending missions it has flown for over 40 years.
With two engines combining to put out 3,000+ hp and four main rotor blades capable of lifting more than 23,000 pounds, every part on the aircraft has a purpose. The UH-60 Blackhawk played a huge role in increasing the survival rate of casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan due to its speed, capacity, and awesome MEDEVAC crews. It has been a workhorse for the Army since it entered into service in 1979. Yes - it's been in service for more than 43 years.
First the cone and the body are cut out of a solid block of premium metal independently. This gives us the overall shape of the pen/pencil and parts we can now work with.
Once we have the cone and the body, we thread each of them to screw the solid pieces of premium metal together. The fit is already impressively snug, for most manufacturers this would be “good enough.” But, for Modern Fuel, we want to ensure the pen/pencil is flawless.
With the full pen/pencil assembled, we run the piece through the lathe at an extremely high speed. This gives the metal a smooth finish and mates the cone and body so they appear as a single unit. This process results in a product that is completely unique. No cone will perfectly fit the body like the two mated together in the production process.
Finally, the pen/pencil has its custom interior parts that fit the body perfectly added and tightened. Then, your unique product is hand-finished, inspected to exacting standards, and packaged up.
