FisherSpace Pen Chrome Bullet Pen, Ballpoint, 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.

If you like to keep a pen handy for jotting down random thoughts, or signing forms or whatnot with your own pen instead of the communal plastic pen that heaven only knows how many people have handled and spread their germs onto, then this is probably the perfect pen for you. First the form factor makes it perfect for carrying in your front pocket (vs. a shirt pocket). When capped, the pen is fatter and squatter than a normal pen, making it about half the length and 50% thicker than a normal pen, with smooth, rounded ends, meaning that the pen fits into a front pocket better and has no pointy parts to poke or jab you with.Second, the pen exudes quality. Its chrome-plated all brass construction gives it a nice heft in the hand and curiously, provides it with near-perfect balance. See, all the weight is in the pen-portion, with almost no weight in the cap, so when you pull the cap off and place it on the back end to make the pen full length, pretty much all of the weight is down low, near where you grab it, and that gives it a pleasant writing feel.Third, there's the Space Pen's famous thixotropic ink and pressurized writing cartridge. It'll write standing up or upside down and it'll write on many surfaces that other pens' inks simply won't adhere to -- a quality which makes it perfect for jotting down stuff in situations where your normally reaching for a spare pen and a scrap of something to write on, or when you're signing forms on a clipboard thingy while standing up and using the wall as a makeshift writing surface.Of course, the widespread use of smart phones, and especially voice-enabled phones, has cut down on the need for some of this stuff, but these situations still occur frequently enough to make having this pen worthwhile. And that's especially the case if you like to jot down random thoughts and observations on a small notebook, like a softcover moleskine. Plus, my wife still runs into situations where she's jotting down some note on a napkin or a business card, or the back of a magazine or something. And this pen is the pen I reach for in all those situations.Bottom Line: this is the all-time best front-pocket/just-in-case pen you can have. And Amazon has it for a great price. Get it and see for yourself.

I do the check book in my house and I could never find a pen that works. Don't get me wrong, I have a pen holder with 25 pens in them, but when it's time for me to use them they don't work. Needless to say this has been a pet peeve of mine for a long time. However, in my busy life I always forget about it until I need a pen again. Also, I carry a pen in my car in case I need it especially if I ever get into an accident. Guess what, the other day I needed a pen while in my car and guess what. It didn't work!!So I finally said to myself I have to look into getting an expensive pen that would always work. So I checked out Amazon and the Fisher Space Pen popped up. It wasn't expensive compared to the high end pens I had in mind, but the reviews intrigued me enough to check it out. By the way, to solve this pen dilemma I would have paid much more than the $15 and change I paid for this pen.I received the pen today and I have to say it writes fantastic. I have terrible handwriting, but depending on what pen I use it can be decent. Many of my throwaway pens are horrible to write with even when they work and if I do find a good one it dosen't last very long.The Fisher Space Pen has a great feel to it and it makes doing the checkbook pleasurable again. I will always have this pen on me and no more pen frustration in my life.I will keep you all updated when this pen finally gives up and when I will need another cartridge. Having said that, if I can get a few years out of this I will be very happy and maybe I'll buy the Millennium Space Pen and it will be the last pen I will ever have to buy.Thank you Fisher for making my life that much easier.On a side note, the case the pen comes in is amazing. It brings me back to when I was a kid and collected pocket knives. It is pure Americana and the case is a collectible in itself. Also, the product is made 100% in the good old USA!!I highly recommend the Fisher Space Pen. It has been one of the best products I have bought in a long time.
