FisherSpace Pen, Bullet Space Pen, Purple, Gift Boxed (400PP)

I received one of these as a gift in the early 2020's. When the problems arose, it was very handy to have this in my pocket when I needed to sign a receipt. The top pulls off, then connects to the back. At that point, this becomes a normal sized pen. The writing is smooth, and I found the refillable ink cartridge lasted a long time. I'm very impressed with this pen.

Wonderfully reliable ink pen cartridges. They don’t write well on some types of plastic that don’t allow enough traction to turn the ball bearing, but that’s to be expected. They work phenomenally well on surfaces with more friction and even better on surfaces that give slightly or depress with reasonable pressure. Don’t leave it in a hot car or the ink can bead up on the tip and you’ll end up with a mess like I did one day. This only happened once though. Seems to work well in all types of weather. Having enough friction against the writing surface seems to be the key in getting the most appropriate amount of ink to come out of the tip. Doesn’t seem to write well on hard surfaces like a glossy shopping receipt on a kitchen table. Great ergonomic feel and unique small size with a satisfying texture all around. Satisfying sound when removing and replacing the cap. I would buy this pen again, I always want a few around because of how they feel in the hand. Some pens require less pressure to give you the appropriate amount of ink, so if you’re using this pen on a surface that doesn’t seem to result in enough ink, then you might be better off using a different kind of pen on that particular surface, a kind of pen that has a more generous flow of ink on average than the Fisher Space pens. But again, on certain surfaces the Fisher Space pens shine, and in others they don’t write well at all. When they do write, they glide well and feel satisfying as writing tools.

These are great pens, the writing is smooth and beautiful ink.It's my go-to as a gift as well.Ultimate for dependability and operation (again I like how smooth it feels as I write with it).

This bullet space pen is small when closed and easy to carry. When opened for writing it is of normal length and ergonomic. I replaced the medium point ink cartridge which came with the pen with a bold point cartridge of the same manufacture due simply to personal preference. The pen writes smoothly and performs exactly as advertised. I have not experienced any leaks or ink skips whatsoever.

Good pen. Attractive. Lack of a clip makes it fine for a desk setting. Cap fits over the tip far enough to make it small enough to fit in a pocket easily. I fully expect to have to go diving under the desk when I fumble the cap.

This is the second space pen I have purchased and I will absolutely be purchasing more. It is essentially the best, most universal writing tool I've ever used.The pen is of an all metal construction, quite durable, and it's sealed system design makes it ideal for writing (and storing) in adverse conditions. The way the pen is designed is that the cap fits snugly on the base, elongating it for easier use. This allows for a compact pen (approx 3.5”) when carrying, but a longer (approx 5.25”) and more comfortable pen when in use. This is ideal for small pockets, containers, etc. and makes a great EDC type pen.The price tag is a bit high for a pen (though absolutely worth every penny), and so I would obviously not recommend this for someone seeking a non-essential, disposable type pen, but for all other applications that come to mind it is not only acceptable but ideal.I have only two minor complaints. The first being the lack of any way to clip the pen in place, making storage something of a hassle in certain applications where you might want the pen to stay put. However, there are after market options available and of course the lack of such a clip does lend itself to a more streamlined designed which has it's own appeal in the areas of compactness and portability. The second would be that there seems to be a slight rattle on some of the pens. Sometimes this is is fixed by tightening the pen in it's threads, though not always.TL;DR:Need a disposable pen? Buy Bic.Need a quality everyday pen that will last quite a while? Buy the Space Pen

Great pen that fits right in my front pocket. Never be without something write with again. Writes in any position. The color looks great too.

I am a retired firefighter-paramedic and have owned probably a dozen Fisher Space Pens over the last several decades, from the cheap plastic stick pens to the AG-7. All of them have worked as advertised (upside down, through grease and blood, etc.). My favorite are their bullet pens (which carry easily in a pants pocket) and of the bullet styles, this textured and lacquered brass is the best I have owned, offering excellent grip and durability. The matte black has good grip, but is not as durable, while the chrome is slippery in the hand and dents easily. The raw brass is as durable, but is not textured and tarnishes easily. I have never tried the titanium oxide finish (too expensive for me). The one time I tried one with a stylus tip I found it to be clunky, almost never used the stylus, and the stylus disintegrated after a couple of years. If carrying in a pants pocket, no need for a clip and I recommend against the "Jump Ring" unless you need it for wearing on a chain (the edges of the hole are sharp).

Tutto quello che si poteva dire su una penna Fisher, comodità d’ uso nella scrittura verticale, nella lunghezza da chiusa e nella durata dell‘inchiostro ne hanno fatto (oltre ad essere stare usate nello spazio dagli astronauti) un icona

Bella piccola e scrive benissimo in qualsiasi situazione. Il colore Lime Green è spettacolare.

Todos de esta gama de Space Pen son iguales por dentro. Por lo tanto el de color oro representa la mejor compra de momento, ademas de ofrecer un acabado muy bonito. Escriben perfectamente a la primera, sin tener que hacer correr la tinta. Muy caro, pero muy bueno.

Il fait un beau cadeau avec son packaging. Livré avec une cartouche médium de couleur noire.

Good pen! Does not leak. Beautiful finishing.Good gift since comes in nice package
