For your reference, this page contains historical product information.

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.

        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

          I use this pen for taking notes out on the trail and I love it. I also keep one in my wallet since it is so small. I just wish I could find it more places.

              Comments about Fisher Space Pen Stowaway:

              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:

              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.
