OVER $500,000 RAISED ON KICKSTARTER

As a former U.S. Army Blackhawk Maintenance Test Pilot, our owner understands the satisfaction one gets from putting a precision-made product to everyday use. Unfortunately, writing instruments are typically cheap, disposable items.

After a lot of research, he found that even expensive pens and pencils are cheaply made and rely on stock plastic parts. Enter Modern Fuel. Custom, heirloom-quality pens and pencils that are designed, machined, and finished right here in the USA.

HOW OUR PENCILS ARE MADE

STEP 1

CUT EACH PIECE OUT OF A SOLID BLOCK OF METAL

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 pencil and parts we can now work with.

STEP 2

ASSEMBLE THE PEN

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 pencil is flawless.

STEP 3

FINISHING ON THE CNC SWISS LATHE

With the full pen 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 pen that is completely unique. No cone will perfectly fit the body like the two mated together in the production process.

STEP 4

FINISH THE ONE-OF-A-KIND PRODUCT

Finally, the pen has its custom interior parts that fit the body perfectly added and tightened. Then, your unique pen is hand-finished, inspected to exacting standards, and packaged up.
