Needed another after I gave my old one to a kid. Love the brass! And it’s anti microbial as all brass is. Here’s the story about how the Fisher Space Pen became a hero. Don’t leave home without one!HOW A FISHER SPACE PEN SAVED THE APOLLO 11 MISSIONIt’s a story that for many years was not circulated outside the inner circles of the U.S. Space Program: The Fisher Space Pen helped the original Moon-landing astronauts, Neil Armstrong, and Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin get back to Earth.When about to leave the moon, the astronauts were climbing back into the Lunar Module and the life support backpack on one of the astronauts brushed against the plastic arming switch and broke it. The switch was to be used to activate the Lunar Modules engines for the module’s rendezvous with the mother spacecraft.Aldrin informed Houston’s Space Centre by radio. A scientist immediately went to work on the problem by breaking the plastic switch on a duplicate module and studying the possibility of reaching a tiny metal strip inside the switch. The strip had to be flipped over to one side to activate the Lunar Module engine, but ground control knew the astronauts had dispensed with practically every tool in the interest of less weight. But they still had their Space Pens, and so were advised to retract the point and use the hollow end of the pen to activate the inside switch. Aldrin then used his Space Pen to flick the switch, lifting Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin safely off the moon!

If want want to carry a pen with you 24/7 but hate the extra bulk in your pockets, then a Fisher Space pen is the best you can get. I wear a shirt with pockets at work so I'll usually have a pen with me around the office, but on the few occasions that I left my main pen on my desk and didn't want to walk 200 steps back to my desk, it's so nice to whip this thing out of my pocket and continue through my day. I also like to carry a pocket journal with me to help me remember to do things, so when I'm out and about, the only pen I would have on me is this thing.Do caution, brass is really pretty looking, but looks like trash the moment you touch it. Not trash like it's bad, but do know that it will suck up your fingerprints, and don't get me started on how it looks the moment you drop it on some concrete. This is no fault of the pen, it's just what happens with brass. However, it's antimicrobial raw brass and is a terrific pen. Although it's pricey, you can replace the cartridge when it's empty and keep using the pen forever for cheap.
