Fisher Space Pen Brass Alloy Bullet Pen, Pressurized Ballpoint Pen, Compact Pocket Size, Writes Upside Down and in Extreme Temperatures, Smooth Black Ink, Medium Point, Gift Box, Made in the USA

As my wife will tell you, I'm a pen-aholic. We can't go to a store without my veering off to the what's new in the pen aisle. This affliction started when I'd lost a favorite pen of mine which was actually anything but ergonomic, but looked unusual - which was what I liked about it. It had a metal body (always a requirement of mine) with what can only be described as a metal coil (like a shock absorber) which went from the top to the bottom. Like I said, it wasn't necessarily comfortable, but it was an eye-catcher! I picked up a Parker Jotter as a replacement. It was of a magnitude lighter in weight than my previous pen and wrote much nicer. I compared my new pen's lines to my lost one's and fell into a trap. My new pen wrote better, so how much better *can* a pen get? What else is out there that I haven't tried? I became a pen-aholic. Fast-forward 12 years (yes, the sickness continued that long!), and after experimenting with dozens of relatively inexpensive pens (another of my requirements) which even included a short walk through the land of the fountain pen, you'll find me carrying a Fisher Space Pen daily. I will say I have a soft spot in my heart for the Soft Feel Clic by Bic and the G2 .07 by Pilot. The Fisher Space Pen (a.k.a. the "FSP" in various pen forums I've perused) is, by far, the darkest, blackest ballpoint ink ("oil-based") I've found yet. It's a special forumla only Fisher employs, and they put it into pressurized refill so it will write at any angle, or even upside down - even on glass (not that I'd ever need to write on glass, but I tried it, and it worked!). Now, if that wasn't good enough, they put that refill in the most amazing pen case design ever. You could put this in a Parker Jotter pen (or anything that will accept a Jotter's refill) using the refill's included plastic converter top, but I find the bullet pen design so much more interesting... You want an eye-catching pen? How about one that collapses to almost half its size when not in use and returns to a normal-sized pen when needed? How about one with spiral-cut edges near the tip - right where you need it - to ensure it doesn't slip through your grip while using it? How about one encased in chrome-covered brass which is polished to almost mercury slipperiness? Not only is this pen a pleasure to write with, it's a joy to just hold and fiddle with! You'll often find me holding this closed pen, floating it among my fingers, enjoying the feeling of its slippery form. The smoothness of this closed pen works in much the same way as Baoding balls are comforting to roll around in the palm of your hand. While there is no such thing as "the perfect pen," this comes closest for me. There is zero startup necessary - no scribbling in the margin to get it going. The ink flows as soon as you move the point across the page. The flow is smooth and consistent, the line is a deep, dark black. I once wrote on something and the person I handed it to swiped it with her hand, thinking it would smudge, assuming I'd just written with a wet, gel pen. She was surprised to see it was instantly dry. To me, this means the line it lays is so dark and black, it can apparently pass for an extra-fine gel pen. After a dozen years of experimentation, I've finally stopped looking.

These are my favorite pens for all purposes. They write under any conditions, as long as you don't drop them on their tip. They are easy to carry in your pocket every day. Unfortunately, I have a habit of misplacing them, so this is my 3rd or 4th in several years. Refills are inexpensive and easy to replace. They write beautifully, and are a great value for the price.

These pens are perfect. They are the perfect size to fit in a purse, day bag, or in your pocket, great EDC pen. So far these have worked flawlessly, they write in whatever temperature and any angle. You can't go wrong with a Fisher pen.

Great pen. Incredibly handy to carry in my pocket.

Great pen. Compact and comfortable to carry. Great for writing or doing puzzles in bed.

Everything was perfect! My husband loves these pens. This is our second from this company and this vendor.

It really does write under water. Plus it's nice to own a piece of Americana. I bought a Victorinox SwissTool and the leather case had a little gap in it - this pen, which is very dainty and small when closed, fits perfectly. The writing quality is that of a regular biro - no Rotring or Mitsubishi by any means, but it does exactly what it needs to do and, as I say, I'm a sucker for having a little bit of history to hand.

Compact space pen that easily fits in your pocket, I take it with me for meetings in case of need. With the cap on the back it handles like a full size pen, decent weight and writes well.

私は4800円くらいで買いましたが、ネットで見ると10000円前後で販売されているようですね。私は気に入っています。シンプルなデザインで書き味も納得してます。スペースペンはこれで3本目で、買うたびにグレードアップさせてこのペンになっております。ただ、シンプルデザインが良いと思いますが、クリップも何もないのでポケットに引っ掛けるとか手帳のペンホルダーに刺すとか出来ないのが残念です。けれど、このペンにクリップとかつけるとデザインがぜんぜん変わってしまうのでそれはそれで残念だと思います。私はミドリのノートバンド（ペンホルダー付き）を使用して使っています。これだとノートバンドとペンホルダーが一体でラバー性ですからしっかりこのスペースペンをホールドしてくれます。無くしやすいかもしれませんので注意が必要です。それでも気に入っています。

The usual high quality space pen. Nice compact size when closed, good length and feel when open. Very smooth and comfortable to write with but, best of all for those that haven't tried them, they always work immediately. No test scribbles with these!

インクはいいんだけどリフィルがカタカタいうんですよね。入りは好き

Expensive for what it is, but nice pen nice finish. Converted my refill to a D1 so I don't have to buy the ridiculously expensive SPR4 refills.
