FisherSpace Pen Bullet Pen - 400 Series - Brushed Chrome w/ Clip - Gift Boxed

I got one of these on a whim. The "space age" was over fifty years ago now, so the label "space" on something makes little difference to me, but I am abusive to pens. They ride in my pocket, they go through the wash, they go without their caps for months, I write in sub freezing colorado weather, etc. Short of actually taking it into space, life with me is about as rough a test as one of these pens could ask for, and they pass it with flying colors. I have three, not only have they not failed, but they seem to get smoother with use.I know these are pricey for a normal pen. These aren't some antique fountain pen that is all about status. When all is said and done, these are meant to be used for writing, and they do that job amazingly well. I will be buying more, I will be buying refills, and I will recommend this to anyone who regularly finds themselves with dead pens riding around in their pocket/bag.Stupid tip, but head over to a hardware store and buy a small rubber O-ring for the outside of the pen itself. They are slick and small, which means they are easily lost. The 20 cent rubber gromet can add a little friction to the equation, and keep your new brass pen from ending up as couch litter.Get the raw brass. If you are considering this pen, odds are you are hard on them, and you will eventually beat up anodizing or paint, and you'll be left with chips/scuffed paint. The raw brass, on the other hand, seems to get more beautiful over time. The distinct shape of my brip, placement in my pocket, and local climate have lead to a pen that is specifically mine. Do yourself a favor and end up with something personal, not something that looks defaced.

A great small everyday carry pen that fits comfortably in your pocket. Then when you want to use it, the cap fits over the back becoming a full size pen. Timeless classic elegant design. Simply perfect!

The Fisher Space Pen Bullet Pen is simply fantastic! Its compact and sleek design makes it incredibly easy to carry in my pocket or bag, and I love that it writes smoothly on various surfaces, even in challenging conditions. Whether I'm jotting down notes in the rain or at high altitudes, this pen performs flawlessly every time.The quality of the craftsmanship is impressive; it feels sturdy and well-made, which is important for a pen I carry around daily. The ink flows consistently without skipping, and the quick-drying formula prevents smudging—perfect for left-handed users like me!I also appreciate the unique mechanism that allows it to extend and retract smoothly. The retro bullet design is not only functional but also a conversation starter; I've received many compliments on it!Overall, I highly recommend the Fisher Space Pen Bullet Pen to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish writing instrument. It’s an excellent investment that has exceeded my expectations in both form and function!

I love the basic Fisher Space Pen! Small enough to fit in a pocket, write anywhere and at any angle, and SO reliable.

The pen is awesome and the best there is to carry for everyday. I ordered the brushed stainless steel, very rugged yet refined feeling. It’s actually the perfect size to slip into a typical mens bifold wallet, if you carry a stack of cards in the inside pocket it should rest firmly on top and is there whenever you need it. I’m only giving 4 stars since the picture displays it comes with a clip, it DOES NOT if you were ordering for that reason. The pen itself is 5-stars. Just felt slightly cheated when I didn’t receive a clip as well.

Writes very well. A bit skinny but over all it great.

If want want to carry a pen with you 24/7 but hate the extra bulk in your pockets, then a Fisher Space pen is the best you can get. I wear a shirt with pockets at work so I'll usually have a pen with me around the office, but on the few occasions that I left my main pen on my desk and didn't want to walk 200 steps back to my desk, it's so nice to whip this thing out of my pocket and continue through my day. I also like to carry a pocket journal with me to help me remember to do things, so when I'm out and about, the only pen I would have on me is this thing.Do caution, brass is really pretty looking, but looks like trash the moment you touch it. Not trash like it's bad, but do know that it will suck up your fingerprints, and don't get me started on how it looks the moment you drop it on some concrete. This is no fault of the pen, it's just what happens with brass. However, it's antimicrobial raw brass and is a terrific pen. Although it's pricey, you can replace the cartridge when it's empty and keep using the pen forever for cheap.

Excellent grip, great balance, and wonderful clip. If only it could improve my handwriting.
