From the manufacturer


Fisher Pressurized Cartridge

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 Bullet Pen

The original Bullet Space Pen was conceived in July of 1948 by Paul Fisher, who was soon machining a new pen design shaped from solid aluminum. This became our first Fisher ball point pen, the #400 Bullet Pen, and arguably the most popular pen of the twentieth century. This pen is now composed of all brass with a chrome finish. Often imitated but never duplicated, the Fisher Bullet Space Pen continues to be our most popular pen.

  • 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
  • Cited as an outstanding example of industrial art, the classic design of the Fisher Bullet Pen has been exhibited for years in the New York Museum of Modern Art.
  • The Bullet's timeless styling has been the topic of many art books and magazine articles.

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.

    Exactly What I Wanted... Almost
    I read many reviews after I purchased this product saying that Amazon was sending counterfeit pens instead of the real Fisher Bullet Pen. I did my research, though, and the fake ones tended to have springs that came out with the cartridge, and didn’t have threads but simply pulled out. From these pictures, you can see that this pen is real. Amazon must have fixed the issue, or I simply lucked out.Anyway! This pen is awesome, and does everything the company says that it does. It writes underwater, the ink comes out as soon as you put it to paper, you can write with it at any angle. Wonderful. Great. The thing is also SMALL, which is great for me - I’m a small guy, I’ve got tiny hands - but that might not be the case for someone else. Capless, the pen is barely three inches, and with it on, it’s just over five. I am fairly comfortable writing with it, but do not expect the pen to be normal sized. It’s not.The one problem I have with it, is that in my case a least (I haven’t bought another cartridge) the ink sort of... blows. Like, worse than the ballpoint pen that you got in a pack of fifty for ten dollars. Truly, it’s not great besides the fact that it is dark. The problem is that the ink is a bit spotty, especially if you’re a normal person and don’t write with barbaric brute strength.I’m using it on my Pictostone Jornal, which is a beautiful book. I got it because it’s a ballpoint and they’re not supposed to smudge. It smudges anyway on the stone paper, which is understandable, as every pen I’ve used to far does as well. I am now using a cotton ball to dry the ink before I turn the page. Boom.
