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

HERE'S THE QUICK VERSION: This pen is great. If you're looking for a quality writing device that is durable, dependable, unique, and eye-catching, then look no further. Pick your color/finish and enjoy this tenacious little thing to your heart's content. If you have to buy another one, it will be because you're so in love with it, not because your first one failed to please. HERE'S THE LONG VERSION: I've been a bit of a pen junkie all my life, and have come across various pens that I have both loved and hated. But this pen right here - I friggin love this pen. The rainbow titanium nitride really caught my eye, being both beautiful and distinctive (but if that doesn't float your boat, it comes in a dozen other colors and finishes). It really suits me, and everyone at work knows that that is MY PEN, so I never have to worry about someone slinking off with it "accidentally" and getting away scott-free. As a pen, this thing is wonderful. It's the Jack Russell Terrier of pens: It's small and compact, able to fit in a pocket/wallet/purse with ease and comfort. Yet it's sturdy and tenacious with a quality feel to it, thanks to the brass and steel construction. This pen has survived and excelled at every challenge I have thrown at it, and shows zero signs of wear and tear. It writes the first time, every time. The ink flow is consistent and controlled. I've never had this pen blot, bleed, or fail to give me a quality, consistent ink flow on the page. The black ink appears rich and dark of hue on the page (for a ball point type, don't expect a dark bold line like a gel pen), but doesn't bleed through on even the thinnest of notebook paper. Need to right upside down, catty-corner, or with the paper pressed against the wall or someone's back? No problem. This pen can handle it. I was worried that, since this pen is on the petite side (but with the cap on the end for writing, it's got the comfortable length of a full length writing utensil. Cool!), I would run out of ink pretty quick. Both my job and personal hobbies requires me to do A LOT of handwriting, and I was afraid I'd be going through pen refills like Joan Rivers goes through plastic surgeons. Well, that hasn't been a problem yet! I've had this pen for a solid month and I have yet to order a refill or get an inkling that I need to. The refills, as it seems, are on the affordable side too. The only complaint I would have about this pen: It's so small and handy that you might just take it everywhere and accidentally leave it sitting between the keys on a keyboard or on a desk somewhere. I know I use this pen enough that that has been an issue once or twice, but so far I've always been able to rush back for it before it caught someone's eye, haha.

The colors are vibrant and add a touch of elegance to an otherwise utilitarian tool. It's not just a pen; it's a stylish accessory that draws attention for all the right reasons.

The compact design is perfect for pocket or purse, and the sturdy build ensures that it can withstand the rigors of daily use.

Whether I'm jotting down notes in a meeting, documenting thoughts in a rainstorm, or even writing upside down, the Fisher Space Pen performs flawlessly. It's the ultimate tool for those who need a reliable writing instrument in any situation. The Fisher Space Bullet Space Pen in Rainbow Titanium Nitride has earned its place as my favorite pen.

I highly recommend it to fellow pen enthusiasts and anyone who values a pen that goes above and beyond the ordinary.

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.

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

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!
