how good are fisher space pens?

[benchmade_boy]

yeah i think i will get the bullet it juust looks more durable.

now i just need to decide between tadgear.com and penwa.com

 

[benchmade_boy]

well it looks like i will order through www.penwa.com cuz at tadgear.com it is 16.99 plus 6,50 forground shipping so penwa is going to be the cheaper choice.

 

[Coop]

TAD shipping is IIRC $6.50 by UPS registered ground.

 

[Coop]

either you were a few seconds quicker, or the board sorts by nickname :laughing:

good luck with your pen... Penwa is a great place to buy from...

Probably it's not the best offer for you U.S. based guys but I had a great experience with Cyber Space Pens on eBay.

Almost every pen is shipped for free in the US and they have the best international rates I've ever seen.

I had a Fisher Space Pen in my mission wallet for over 5 years. I love it. Probably one of my most used EDC tools. There have been some complaints about the clips popping off, so it seems loose you may want to secure it with a drop of crazy glue. Here is a picture of the camouflage model.

You should wash your mouth out with soap!

Imagine calling a Surefire average. :lolsign:

Here's a comparison picture for you. I am not a great photographer so bear with me.

Despite all the hype around Fisher space pens, i do not like it.

The ink isn't smooth to write with. What i do find great is it's form. Looks good but writes average. Blotching on both pens, i had. Unfortunately, it really slips out of pants pockets easily... Lost my chrome one on the 1st day of carry.

If you have to get one, the Chrome one is beaautifull... I just kept polishing it when it was around.

Searching for the next potential edc pen......

I hear that quite often, I use mine almost everyday, but never had any blotching... Not with my bullet and not with my parker with fisher spacepen refill.

The ones I have had blobed like blob extras in the film "The Blob". And suprisingly they never could write on the back of photographs. Obviously no Polaroids in space then.

They were good for slipping out of my trouser pockets though and getting lost.

Despite this, the bullet shap is a nice one and I like to have one for occasional use.

does anyone know how much more a titaniaum coated bullet weighs more than a matte black bullet?

 

[Coop]

I don't know what a matte black bullet weighs, but my 'black' titanium nitrate coated bullet weighs 21 grams. that is including a matte black clip and a cartridge at (guesstimate) 80%.

 

[benchmade_boy]

now i need to find somone to trade my surefire hurricane pack for a good fisher space pen.:naughty:

 

[Pydpiper]

I am interested in this trade, shoot me a pm and we can work out some details..

 

[FlashlightPhreak]

Who has the best price on blue fine point refills?

 

[bonvivantmike]

Looking on the Fisher web site, it appears that the #M4B / Matte Black Military Pen is no longer listed. I found some on eBay, and as far as I know REI still sells them as well.

Does anyone know if they have been discontinued?
