From the manufacturer


Made in the USA with US and Globally Sourced Packaging and Materials!

When it comes to pens, if you’re anything like us you can’t settle with just any old plastic ballpoint. You expect and deserve more from your pens - much more. Our 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility is located in Boulder City, Nevada, where our products are both hand and machine tested, so you can write confidently with the knowledge that your Fisher Space Pen will never let you down!

The Fisher Military Pen

Fishers Pressurized Cartridges:

The secret behind the unique capabilities of our pens lies in the ink cartridge itself. Our refills are hermetically sealed, pressurized with nitrogen gas, and feature a tungsten carbide ballpoint tip - the same extra hard metal that is used to make armor-piercing ammunition. No longer relying on gravity to write, our pens are able to function at any angle, even upside down!

  • Writes in extreme temperatures from -30 F to +250 F
  • Writes underwater and over wet surfaces. Writes at any angle- even upside down.
  • Each Fisher Space Pen is precision assembled, hand tested, and carries a lifetime promise against all manufacturing defects

Facts and History of the Space Pens:

The story of the Space Pen really begins with its inventor, Paul C. Fisher. Before he took to making pens, Paul worked in an airplane propeller factory during World War II. It was there that he gained valuable experience with ball bearings, knowledge that would come in handy down the road for creating ballpoints. He later went on to invent the 'universal refill' ink cartridge, which in turn led him to create the first 'Anti-Gravity' pen, patented in 1966. Although it is a popular misconception that NASA invested millions of dollars developing an anti-gravity writing instrument, the fact of the matter is that Paul had been working on the design for years and had invested roughly $1 million dollars into the pens development . Truth be told, in the beginning Fisher didn’t even set out to create a pen specifically for the astronauts; he was simply looking to make a great pen that worked without leaking. In the end he had developed what he considered to be the perfect pen – a pen with ink that would not be exposed to air, rely on gravity, leak or dry up, and that wrote underwater and in extreme temperatures. His breakthrough happened to be perfectly timed with the space race and he offered the pens to NASA for consideration. Two years of testing later and the Space Pen was approved to accompany the Apollo 7 astronauts into space. Despite the old joke that the Russians solved their anti-gravity writing problem by using pencils, Russian cosmonauts actually began to carry Fisher Space Pens on their missions as well, at about the same time that NASA did.

Fishers Pressurized Cartridges:

The secret behind the unique capabilities of our pens lies in the ink cartridge itself. Our refills are hermetically sealed, pressurized with nitrogen gas, and feature a tungsten carbide ballpoint tip - the same extra hard metal that is used to make armor-piercing ammunition. No longer relying on gravity to write, our pens are able to function at any angle, even upside down! In order to prevent leaks from the gas pressure, our ink has to be thick, thixotropic to be exact. Fisher ink is actually more of a gel than a liquid when it is at rest, with a consistency similar to that of toothpaste. It is only when pressure is applied to the ballpoint that the ink will take on the spreadable properties of a liquid, while still retaining the stickiness needed to adhere to nearly any material.

    Customers are mixed about the weight of the writing instrument. Some mention it's not too heavy, but it feels nice in the hand. The body of the pen has a satisfying weight, and the ink weight seems comparable to what you would get out of a common Bic disposable. It's a comfortable weight and size, and not at all bulky or uncomfortable to hold. However, others say they would like it a bit heavier, it feels like plastic, and it has an extremely cheap lightweight feel considering it''s supposed to be solid brass.

    Customers are mixed about the click of the pen. Some mention that it's superb and always works, while others say that it feels very cheap and the click mechanism fails.

    "...The weight is perfect to carry, it is just the right size, it is a clicker pen which is easier to use, and it is beautiful...." Read more

    "...The clicker isn't the most satisfying in sound or feel, but it always works so that's a plus...." Read more

    "...This pen has a nice matte finish, a robust, solid click and the ink lasts FOREVER...." Read more

    Great pen
    5 Stars
    Great pen
    These are not the cheapest pens but I know it will write when I need it. The green is more a pastel green. I had an orange one for 5+ years before I lost it. Thought I would try a different color. I like the feel of the metal pen vs plastic and I know it is more durable.

    This is a beautiful pen. I am very pleased with it. It arrived very shiny, I am curious to witness the patina although it lives in my work lanyard so it may remain polished. It writes well, I expect to get many years use from this fine pen
