Fisher Space Pen Cerakote 400 Series Bullet Pen– Pressurized Ballpoint Pen + Cerakote Polymer-Coating Offers Durability, Hardness & Scratch-, Corrosion-, Heat- & Chemical-Resistance - Black Cherry

Fisher Space Pen's aren't the best daily driver pen in my opinion but they are reliable. These are a part of history and certainly not the worst. I also swapped mine out with a blue, broad refill which I like better than the stock ink. The cerakote coating also makes it look cool. If you want a cool, interesting pen this one fits that bill.

These have been around for decades pretty much unchanged and for good reason: they’re the ultimate pocket pen and the starting point of the best “every day carry”. The large ballpoint cartridge contains pressurised thixotropic ink which can write on most surfaces, from any direction and even under water. The pen is compact and pretty much indestructible when inserted into its cap and just the right length when reversed for writing. I’ve had one in my pocket every day for almost 50 years and only had to buy another when I lost it. I’m a little bit annoyed at the price considering the simplicity of the underlying brass construction and the fact that they haven’t changed it for so long but there’s no arguing that they got the recipe right the first time. There’s new finishes all the time if you want to be fancy but the simple chrome one is bombproof and won’t get damaged by other items in your pocket.

Very well built space pen. I used to have a titanium bullet that was matte and prefer that sort of finish, and this brings that back. Beautiful colour. I wish they would call it a click action rather than cap activation, until it arrived I wasn’t sure if it was click or twist. It’s click fortunately.

Love this pen they write smooth and in any position.

I replaced my ink with the 'bold' refill and I like how it writes better. that is just a personal thing. Other than that, here are a few impressions.1. when you put the cap on the back it is a regular size pen and very comfortable. If you leave the cap off it is short and not comfortable. Don't worry about the cap scratching the body, never had it leave even a mark.2. This is small when it is folded up - so it is really easy to lose. They sell a clip you can add to it which helps but personally I just keep it in my pants pocket with my wallet. So far have not lost it yet. The finish on the body looks really tough so I think that I could carry it in my other pocket with my keys and it would not get scratched up.3. makes a unique and cool gift. Works upside down so it is great for me for the checkout sheets at work that are mounted to the wall and I am writing with the pen facing up.
