This pen combines a compact, stowaway design with a pressurized ink cartridge that allows the pen to write nearly anywhere, on anything.

  • Pressurized ink cartridge continuously feeds ink to the tungsten carbide ball, allowing pen to write at any angle--even upside down
  • Visco-elastic ink writes smoothly and dependably on most surfaces, even under water, over fingerprints, in freezing cold, extreme heat and in space!
  • Stainless-steel, precision-machined socket prevents leaks and oozing, yet delivers uniform ink flow
  • Small, compact design fits almost anywhere; measures 3.75 inches and weighs less than 0.2 ounces
  • Ink will not dry out for over 100 years
  • Black ink; medium point
  • Since 1967, Fisher Space Pens have been used by American astronauts on all manned space flights

Made in USA.

        Good emergency pen

        Best Uses

          Comments about Fisher Space Pen Stowaway:

          Fisher pens tend to suffer from globbing and skipping, but they work in extreme conditions. This model is very compact, basically a refill cartridge with a cap. Good to stow in a survival kit or other tight spot for "just-in-case" use. Due to it's small size and tendancy to glob, it is not great for daily or regular use. But it is a perfect emergency pen. It will work when you need it.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

              This pen is not much more than an ink cartridge in a case. The cap extends the body to a useable length.

              I got it to drop into a pocket and have it go unnoticed until I needed it. So far - so good!

              Comments about Fisher Space Pen Stowaway:

              I wanted a tiny pen, and this is a tiny pen. I carried one in my Leatherman Wave case (the elastic sides of the nylon case act as a perfect sheath for the pen), and was never for want of a writing utensil. The instances it came in handy are innumerable -- especially with a Moleskine in the back pocket.

              The big sell is that it is still a Fisher space pen. The ink is perhaps not the smoothest, but it always flows so the pen is always reliable. Unlike regular ballpoints, it is guaranteed to work on, say, the back of your hand, or any other surface you may need to jot a note on.

              This is not a desk pen, however. Not that any of you were under that impression.

              most reliable small pen

              • Lightweight
              • Small
              • Very reliable

              Cons

              • Easy to lose
              • Not cheap anymore
              • Not Refillable

              Best Uses

              • Carry with you everywhere
              • Taking Notes

              Comments about Fisher Space Pen Stowaway:

              At less than 4 inches long and a quarter inch in diameter, these Stowaway space pens are easy to carry round. When you open it up, it is 5 inches long and easy enough to write with. Unlike most other pens, the ink lasts for years without drying up or leaking and always writes smoothly. Drop one in your backpack and you can count on it still working a year from now, as long as you don't lose it.
