Favorite Everyday Pen!
- By John from Arnold MO USA on Monday, September 18, 2017
- Review: Absolutely love it. I am a DJ and like to have a pen on me at all times. This does not crush in your back pocket even when you sit a lot of the day and does not hurt to sit on. It writes wonderfully and you never have to scribble to get the ink going as it is pressurized and writes anywhere and upside down! If I have any suggestion it would be to put one small bump on it so that it doesn't roll off flat surfaces.

Don't loose this great pen
- By Scott from Winston-Salem, NC on Monday, November 26, 2012
- Pros: Great to keep in pants pocket, especially when wearing shirt W/ no pockets
- Cons: Slides out of pants pocket
- Review: I have had this pen continuously since my college days in the late 70's. I have lost quite a few. I have probably had 20 of them. They have a tendency to slip out my my pants pockets. I always start looking where I have been sitting. I now keep a rubber band wrapped around it to lessen the chance for it to slide out. Seems to help quite a bit.

Love this Pen (to the moon and back)
- By Trish from Aurora CO USA on Thursday, January 26, 2017
- Pros: Writes well, can write upside down, ink doesn't dry out and they're easily replaced, affordable & water resistent.
- Cons: small, so is always going through the wash cycle when husband doesn't check his pockets
- Review:
Want to preface my review..this is a pen that my husband has carried, since before we met & married. (over 30 yrs ago)
He had a silver one when we met, but somewhere throughout the years, switched to the black matte one. He even bought me a beautiful burgandy colored enamel Space Pen, for Valentine's day, in 1988. Lost mine & couldn't replicate the color, sad about that.
That said, we're very happy the black matte can be easily replaced when lost. This year I bought 3, one to replace the one he lost again, one for our daughter's Christmas stocking & for one of our sons. We love these pens. - Was this review helpful to you?

EVERYONE should have one of these.
- By A Customer from Lexington, KY on Friday, December 14, 2007
- Pros: DEPENDABLE. NEARLY INDESTRUCTIBLE. Very compact.
- Cons: Thicker ink can make sloppy handwriting even worse.
- Review:
I've carried a space pen for a decade now. My pen has been used in all types of weather during numerous wilderness search and rescue operations and a military deployment to Iraq. It handled everything I put it through (although I don't recommend using it as a tiny prybar). Yes, it is dented and the black coating has worn off the ends, but still functions perfectly.
As for pen life, I also used my space pen for my daily reports and forms over the course of almost two years as an EMT. That's a HUGE amount of daily paperwork. It was also my backup writing utensil when I returned to college, and used for some small task nearly daily. I've not yet had to purchase a refill.
My only complaints concern the nature of the ink. While it does in fact write on almost anything, it does tend to smear on many surfaces (including pictures). Not a huge complaint since most other pens wouldn't have be useful at all under those circumstances. If you need a dedicated tool for this kind of writing, get a fine tip Sharpie.
Also, it is surprisingly bad at writing on those "Rite in the Rain" types of paper, worse than even conventional pents (which aren't so hot either). Stick with pencil.
Finally, don't expect to do fine calligraphy or fancy invitations with the space pen. The thicker ink can cause uneven sized strokes and occasionally slight stringers of ink between separate strokes. Unless your handwriting is already pushing the edge of legibility, don't let this effect decision, as the Space Pen delivers all it promises.
RECOMMENDATION:
BUY IT. Carry it with you ALWAYS. But also keep a fancy pen, a sharpie, and a pencil somewhere in your life for those special tasks. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 5 Other people found this review helpful.

- By Ted from Keller, TX USA on Thursday, April 27, 2017
- Pros: Writes every time and lasts a long time.
- Cons: None that I know of.
- Review: This is the third pen I've ordered. The first one I used for several years and the second one I also used for several years. The pen is very convenient to carry around in your pocket. Always available and ready to write every time. Don't know what I'd do without one. Now I've just received my third pen. Unfortunately I've only had it for a month and somehow I've already lost it. So now I'm about to order another pen.

- By Charly from Spring Branch TX USA on Monday, December 07, 2015

Classically form follows function
- By Ethan from Crested Butte CO USA on Wednesday, August 19, 2015
- Pros: Simple, compact, effective and a beautiful design. Love how brass ages.
- Cons: Wish I had the option of a fine point nib when new but can buy a replacement fine point cartridge down the road.
- Review: I've tried all kinds of other pens for every day carry (EDC) but they all were either too long, too expensive, or too involved to engage in the simple act of writing. This pen fulfilled all the criteria I was concerned with. A great product.

Never leave home without it
- By Troy from Tyler TX USA on Friday, June 26, 2009
- Pros: Reliability, porrtability, high quality.
- Cons: None.
- Review: The best designed product in the history of man. I've owned & carried one of these puppies since 1979. Used it to help take apart my rifle in basic training. Fits in your pocket with your change, yet expands to full size for writing. Pressurized ink developed for the space program writes on vertical surface, upside down, under water, or in boiling grease, if you could stand it. Always there when you need it.

Well received Christmas gift
- By Trish from Aurora CO USA on Thursday, January 26, 2017
- Pros: reliable, writes well upside down and affordable & nice that you don't have to be an astronaut or pilot to own one:)
- Cons: limited color options
- Review:
I decided to buy this pen for our daughter, and stick it in her Christmas stocking, because she's always admired the ones her father carries (for years) and she needs a reliable pen when she does Tech work at her college. It was a perfect fit for her. She loved it.
It's a nice color, although I wish they still made them in the color I had many years ago when it was a gift from her father to me on Valentine's Day.
No matter, the pen is great:) - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 1 Other people found this review helpful.

An excellent pen
- By William from West Seneca NY USA on Monday, January 12, 2009
- Review: There is nothing wrong with the Fisher Bullet pen that I could find. It performs as expected, it is very attractive and the chrome finish is excellent. I like the handy plastic box it was delivered in as well; it makes a handy carrying case. Some may dislike the lack of a pocket clip, but I find the pen more comfortable to use without the clip. For those who miss the pocket clip, Fisher makes other models which have one. On the whole the pen is the best writing ball pen I have used, not that any ball pen does anything for my penmanship!
