Welcome
to Fisher Space Pens
With its unique design and reputation for writing in extreme conditions
the Space Pen has become the pen of choice for the United States air
force, law enforcement agencies, undersea explorers, mountain climbing
expeditions, ski and snowboard teams or anyone else demanding a high
degree of reliability from the equipment they select. The Space Pen
has even been chosen for a few less extreme "celebrity" appearances.

How does a Fisher Pen work?
The cartridges of conventional ball point pens are open to permit
ink to be fed to the point. The secret behind the Fisher Space Pen
lies in the unique design characteristics of the ink and the high
precision manufacturing tolerances of the ball point and socket. The
ink is fed to the ball point by gas pressure permitting the pen to
write in any position. An additional benefit of the closed design
is that it keeps the pen from drying out giving the Fisher Space Pen
an estimated 100 year shelf life. |
