Fisher Space Pen Brass Alloy Bullet Space Pen, Ballpoint, Polished Brass, Black Ink, Gift Box

It writes pretty well, like a regular good pen. Not nearly as well as my Mont Blanc. I’m not taking it into space, or writing upside down on grease, like Fisher says is possible. It is a beautiful pen though, and for that reason I love it. It fits nicely and unobtrusively in my jeans pocket, making it easy to take it with me wherever I go. But really, the high point is that it is such a beautifully designed pen. Well worth the $30.

I love these pens! They write with clear lines each and every time and under every condition imaginable, be at freezing cold temperatures or slightly greasy paper. Incredibly compact and attractive too. They are a win-win purchase.

The perfect gift for the pen enthusiast in your life. Space pens are great writing instruments and this version is even more special as the more the user handles it the more the patina grows making it a unique finish. Well worth the money.

Beautiful pen, the raw brass shows more and more color the longer you use it. It polishes up nicely to start over again! A number of fantastic ink carts, I use the burgundy medium with my Rite-In-the-Rain notebook. Will actually write on wet paper, smoooth ballpoint action! The cap needs more aggressive force to keep in place than the traditional Space Pen, but it’s easy to get used to. Best Bullet Space Pen! Raw brass!

Fantastic pen. Great pocket size. Smooth writing, no sticky ink, great raw brass finish. Only complaint is that it is slick when your hands are sweaty, but not enough to keep me from taking off a star. Fits nicely in my pocket organizer. Highly recommend!

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.

Fisher Space pens are legendary for the way they feel, their size, and they the ink will apply upside down. Astronauts used them in outer space. But they're also beautiful in a range of colors. This finish is a new favorite.
