The Fisher Space Pen features awesome minimalist design, with a twist.

It is a very good quality product. This pen is virtually bulletproof as far as strength goes and is engineered to last a lifetime. Thankfully the esthetics is also both timeless and classy.

This is the ORIGINAL pressurized ink pen.

It is not a sleeker version of the Power-Tank, but the INSPIRATION for the Power-Tank. No disrespect is meant to the geniuses at Uni-Mitsubishi, because they made the Power-Tank an equally great product to the Space Pen. It is just that these two pens were created to do the same thing, but with a completely different design intent.

Uni engineered the Power-Tank to be a "better" disposable pen: One that writes predictably well regardless of the conditions thrust upon it. As most people know they succeeded, but it is still, as I’ve stated before, a disposable pen. It looks cheaply made, because in order to capture their design intent IT IS cheaply made.

I’d love to see Uni come out with a more mature facade for the Power-Tank. It is my workhorse for outdoor engineering work. For a serious meeting however, I would choose the Fisher Space Pen. Perception is everything. Something as trivial as so-called “pen ethics” could be the difference between a high paying contract and failure.

A classic. I keep one deep down in my pocket. That way, I don't have to sign receipts with the same pen as people who don't wash their hands.

Thirty years ago, a classmate of mine in art school gave me this pen because I love pens and was enamored at its compact size and ability to write anywhere-- even when lying down holding your notebook. Where certainly any other pen would stop writing, this pen can write at any angle.

I used this pen for years, never having to change the ink (I don't know if you can change the ink--I never had to).

Alas, after a car accident and years of recovery the pen was lost in the fuss.

As I'm currently bedridden from said accident, I am SO happy to have found this space pen again as it will enable me to write while in a not so writer- friendly position.

Thank you Jetpens for reminding me of this workhorse of a ballpoint pen!

(I will update my review accordingly after I purchase a new one, to ensure the quality is still as high as the one I carried in my bag for years!)

Great pen. It writes significantly smoother than a regular ballpoint, which was desired, in addition to being usable at angles counter to gravity. I'm definitely one to use a wall as a writing support surface and regular pens fail under that condition.

I had one of these last year, but someone nicked it whist at school. I was bitterly disappointed as I only had it for a few months. I tried in vain to recover it. So I bought another one the other day which I hope to keep on to for a while!

This pen is built to last. It's solid brass and it shows. I love this pen's simplicity so I haven't had any interest in the clip. The only problem that I've had with the old pen is that the chrome scratches easily. My new one is being babied. It works like advertised in my use, but I can't vouch for it's zero-G properties. If someone wants to launch me into space to allow me to test it, be my guest.

The ink is great, and comes out smooth. Some say that they have to press down really hard to get a bold line but I haven't had the problem, but I tend to write with a heavy hand anyhow. There are some white dots in my writing, but I think any sort of pen would have that problem. It's certainly a cool pen, and I hope to use it on all my exams!

If you buy this pen, you will not be disappointed. If you somehow are, it's backed by a bullet proof warranty so there's nothing to loose!

it was great

I love this pen. It is extremely multi-functional and easily fits in my pocket or pack as I go about my day to day business. The cap can be taken off and put on the butt of it when in use to extend the length of the barrel so it is easier to grip. Another thing about the cap: in a pinch it can be used to break tape on boxes, which has come in handy for me at my job.

This review is also meant to reflect the good customer service that Jet Pens provided. When the pen came at first, I thought part of it was missing. I sent a customer support query and received prompt, professional assessment and advice to fix the problem (the part was actually stuck in the cap, a thing that hadn't occurred to me). With all of these good aspects, I am definitely going to get myself another one of these at some point!

Great portable writing instrument, writes very smoothly. One odd disappointment was that without the clip, the cap comes off and can be put on the butt of the pen so you don't lose it easily, but with the clip, the cap will not fit on the butt and you have to set it down and make sure you don't lose it. It's a bit of a unfortunate catch-22.

This pen is absolutely beautiful. It’s stunning to look at, and is well balanced and comfortable in hand. I bought this along with a $100 pen and some other disposables to sample. I tried all but the $100 pen and this is by far the favorite. I plan on trying out the Bigid bolt action soon but I’m completely satisfied with this pen. Only downside is it doesn’t come with a clip and I fear due to its slick design, any clip attachment you’d buy for it would simply slide off. Would absolutely recommend this pen for beginners and experts alike. It has very smooth writing action and doesn’t smear (often, it has smeared here or there when first used). It does however sometimes transfer to other papers, although it isn’t terrible (think journaling, book writing). Love it!

Excellent quality just as I expected
