For many years, I resisted creating a September 11 pen blank. I never wanted such an important and painful event to feel commercialized.
With this year marking the 25th anniversary, I felt the time was right to create something restrained and respectful—focused on remembrance rather than the tragedy itself.
The design features the twin beams of light above the New York skyline, a softly flowing American flag, and the words:
25 Years
Never Forget
September 11 • 2001–2026
The artwork wraps around the barrel so different parts of the memorial become visible as the finished pen is turned.
This will be a limited 2026 offering and is available as a tube-in clear-resin blank for:
• Full-Size Bolt Action — 3/8-inch tube
• Classic Sierra™ Twist — 27/64-inch tube
Each blank is made to order, cast around the correct brass tube, and arrives ready for turning. The price is $12.
Blank only—pen kit not included.
You can view the blank and order here:

I would appreciate hearing what fellow IAP members think of the design and whether the tone feels appropriate for this anniversary.
