Fisher Space Pen Clutch Space Pen

Smooth writing and comfortable to hold. Has a nice weight to it. I tried it out after blasting it with high pressure -30deg C compressed air/methyl alcohol mix (I used it to try and clear a stuck valve) and it took some physical cosmetic damage around the tip but still wrote fine. It is nice and thick to fit my big hands but that makes it a tight fit in some shirt pockets. The matte black is understated and clean, or at least it was until I bashed it up in the valve incident. This is the most expensive pen I've ever owned so I'm nervous about losing it but it's tough!

Love it. A bit bulky. Otherwise solid. May not be suitable for long note taking.

I reckon you could run over this with a truck and it would survive (I am not recommending you try though). Great pen. But if you do a LOT of writing you might find it a bit heavy. great for clumsy people

Hochwertige Verarbeitung. Erfüllt die Versprechen ...

I am a pen nerd (those that are know exactly what I mean). This pen is five stars if you have a glove on and need to grasp a substantial pen to write with and will not be afraid to drop it, etc. I could imagine this being an excellent pen in the winter where you can write with it without taking off you glove in cold weather. Also, the space pen cartridge will work in any weather condition and you can read all the reviews on the ink, etc. This pen is not comfortable to write with a bare hand. I wish it were, but it is not, at least for me. The hexagon section is too large in diameter and quickly fatigues my hand. I am giving this pen 5 stars because it is advertised as a working pen for gloved folks. Finally, the quality is just outstanding for the following: (a) All metal construction and as far as I can tell both inside and out, (b) the spring is held in the bottom part you unscrew to put in a new cartridge so you will not lose it, (c) the threaded parts are all steel and look like they are machined from the base material and not press fit....very impressive, (d) the part to unscrew is knurled which is a blessing if your grip is not the best for whatever reason, (e) the clip is just outstanding, maybe the best I have ever seen in such a pen; very heavy duty steel but not to thick - this clip will hold up, (f) it is a space pen so the refills are top notch and I would recommend medium or fine, and (g) this is probably as strong as my tactical pen. Overall, very satisfied and this will be my cold weather pen or when I fly since it provides protection as well. Excellent value and made in the USA - both important to me. Also thanks to Amazon for making it a prime item.
