Description of Fisher Space Pen, Bullet Space Pen, Matte Black, Gift Boxed (400B)
The original Bullet Space Pen was conceived in July of 1948. Paul Fisher was soon machining a new pen design shaped from solid aluminum. It became the first Fisher ball point pen, the #400 Bullet Pen, is arguably the most popular pen of the twentieth century. This pen is now all brass with a Matte black finish.When closed, the Bullet Space Pen is the perfect size to carry in your wallet, pocket, purse, car glove box, organizer or toolbox. When open it's a full sized, evenly balanced writing instrument. The patented ink cartridge was designed by Paul Fisher for NASA in the 1960's enabling it to write in temperatures from -30 to +250 degrees Fahrenheit, under water, in zero gravity, at any angle, even upside down.Sports reviews of Fisher Space Pen, Bullet Space Pen, Matte Black, Gift Boxed (400B)
Customer Review: No leaks in the pocket - even in 100+ degree heat!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I've tried almost every pen out there, looking for the perfect one for me. Turns out that this is it - At least in my humble opinion. Others have commented extensively about key features like the write-anywhere-anytime ability, smooth-writing, solid feel, ink doesn't smear (even for lefty's like me), made in U.S., reasonably priced, etc. I wholeheartedly agree with all that.
However, my favorite feature isn't mentioned much.
My top reason for loving this pen is that I can (and do) carry it in my pocket always without fear of it ever leaking. There's a rubber o-ring that keeps it sealed. I frequently carry it while working in the 100+ degree summer heat and never had any issues with the pen "exploding" like most others will do in those circumstances.
Customer Review: Best EDC pen ever!!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I just got this pen and I'm already in love with it. When closed, it is small enough to carry in my pocket as an EDC (Every Day Carry) pen and has a very small footprint. When opened and with the cap on top, it is a full length pen and comfortable to write with. Very well thought out design. It can ride upside down or sideways in my pocket and I can pull it out and write with it without having to smack it like I have to do with other pens. If you find yourself needing a pen all the time and do not want to carry a regular pen in your pocket for fear of it breaking and getting ink all over you and your gear, this is the pen to buy and carry.Customer Review: Great pen. Simple, versatile, reliable.

The pen compresses down to a small, unobtrusive package. I've never had a problem with it; it writes no matter what. I've written on wet paper in the field, on the palm of my hand when it's sweaty, even upside down for extended periods. My only potential qualm with it is that it compresses to perhaps too small a package (read "easily lost"). I've owned a few, and at least one is still out in the treeline. However, it's not enough of an issue to take away a star. In the end, it's just a pen, but it's the best I've ever owned.Customer Review: Not cheap but worth it

I have used this pen for three years. It is NOT a everyday work pen. There are more comfortable pens for long term usage. It is the perfect pen to have with you always. The pen writes under every condition. It slips into your pocket without notice, but is there every time you need to make a note or fill out a form. You never have to ever worry about finding yourself needing to write when no pen is available or when the pen you are given will not make a line without drying up half way through.
Great personal pen.
Customer Review: Best Pen I've ever owned
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
A space pen has lived in my pocket every day for about 2 years (had to get a new one from Amazon when I lost the last one). They are very tough, compact, weight almost nothing, don't leak, run for a good long time on a single refill, write upside down or on the rain. The only real downside is that people start realizing you always have a pen on you and keep on asking to borrow it, which is how I think my last one disappeared. I've owned far more expensive pens, I haven't owned better pens.
