Crafted from the historic Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, our pen blanks offer a unique piece of aviation history. The A-10, affectionately known as the Warthog, is a legendary close air support aircraft designed for durability and precision. Introduced in 1976, it was built to withstand intense combat, featuring a titanium-armored cockpit and a massive GAU-8 Avenger cannon capable of firing 3,900 rounds per minute. Its rugged design and ability to operate at low altitudes made it a vital asset in conflicts like the Gulf War, where it destroyed over 900 tanks and 2,000 military vehicles. The A-10’s distinctive nose art and battle-scarred aesthetic embody its relentless spirit.

Each pen blank is sourced from authentic A-10 materials, meticulously prepared to showcase its heritage. Perfect for collectors, veterans, or aviation enthusiasts, these blanks transform a piece of the Warthog into a functional work of art.
