Fisher Space Pen Cerakote 400 Series Bullet Pen– Pressurized Ballpoint Pen + Cerakote Polymer-Coating Offers Durability, Hardness & Scratch-, Corrosion-, Heat- & Chemical-Resistance - Tungsten

These have been around for decades pretty much unchanged and for good reason: they’re the ultimate pocket pen and the starting point of the best “every day carry”. The large ballpoint cartridge contains pressurised thixotropic ink which can write on most surfaces, from any direction and even under water. The pen is compact and pretty much indestructible when inserted into its cap and just the right length when reversed for writing. I’ve had one in my pocket every day for almost 50 years and only had to buy another when I lost it. I’m a little bit annoyed at the price considering the simplicity of the underlying brass construction and the fact that they haven’t changed it for so long but there’s no arguing that they got the recipe right the first time. There’s new finishes all the time if you want to be fancy but the simple chrome one is bombproof and won’t get damaged by other items in your pocket.

This is a quality pen. The space pen is always a good product. It is compact and lightweight. The creakote finish is a great feature and even adds some texture. It writes well.

Space pens are awesome! They are very consistent and long lasting. This one is no exception.

Well made with good material - better with clip (bought separately) if not used with jumpsuit

I bought this to keep in my car for when I need a pen in the winter or the heat of the summer. Cheaper or regular pens can dry out or even bust open in bad weather so I looked into something more heavy duty and so far it has held up. The history of this pen is true, it's great value and heavy duty.

I replaced my ink with the 'bold' refill and I like how it writes better. that is just a personal thing. Other than that, here are a few impressions. 1. when you put the cap on the back it is a regular size pen and very comfortable. If you leave the cap off it is short and not comfortable. Don't worry about the cap scratching the body, never had it leave even a mark. 2. This is small when it is folded up - so it is really easy to lose. They sell a clip you can add to it which helps but personally I just keep it in my pants pocket with my wallet. So far have not lost it yet. The finish on the body looks really tough so I think that I could carry it in my other pocket with my keys and it would not get scratched up. 3. makes a unique and cool gift. Works upside down so it is great for me for the checkout sheets at work that are mounted to the wall and I am writing with the pen facing up.
