It works. by E. Otoide  3 Stars
August 21, 2009
Good design. Right size. It works.
The clip has slid off of the pen a couple times. I'm afraid I might lose it one of these days.
The ink cartridge is ok. It works, but the writing is not as sharp as I would like.

Best pen around... by Andrew Russell (Pittsburgh, PA USA)  5 Stars
July 02, 2009
This pen is truly excellent. It is super durable -- I have dropped mine on concrete many times, and I once left it out in the yard for a week and a half, with no problems. The grip is also nearly perfect. I find it to be better for extended writing than any other pen I've tried (except the PenAgain Y-shaped pens, which don't really count).
The only flaw is that, on mine at least, the clip tended to slide off the back of the pen. After it slid off a couple of times, I hit it with a drop of superglue, and it has been perfect since.
Highly recommended. This pen is truly from a different era, when Americans designed beautiful, serviceable, mechanical things that functioned well and lasted a lifetime.

This pen is like no other by Kevin Fehr 5 Stars
May 25, 2009
I've used a lot of pens in my life, but this one is by far the best. Not only is it a great pen, but it's also a great conversation piece. Last night, I took my space pen to the bar, bought a girl a drink, and then i whipped out my pen. I mentioned that it writes under water, through grease, upside down...you name it! Latter on, i used the pen to write down her telephone number! Without this pen, I'd still be single! Thank you space pen!

Not for everyone but worth it, even at twice the price. by Richard Davis (Pennsylvania) 5 Stars
March 29, 2009
I'm on my third or fourth, I've lost count. I recall these being around as far back as the early 1970s, an back then they only offered chrome and no pocket clip. So, they're provenance claim is accurate.
I work both outdoors and indoors, write on paper, facing downward *most* of the time. This pen has successfully functioned for me exactly as advertised. It's my everyday use pen, particularly out in the field.
It's a ballpoint, and the ink's a tad thicker than cheaper ballpoint pen inks, so it requires a small amount of effort to use it. It's great for occasional use, but I could see taking 10+ pages of notes could get old.
If you get one, make sure the pocket clip is pressed at least 1/4 to 1/3 of the way down on the cap, otherwise it will slip off unnoticed. Also make sure the O-ring on the pen body is present, and has a tiny knick in it for air release. The cap should have a small amount of drag as it's pulled off. Twisting the pen body halves together compresses the O-ring, causing it to squeeze out and increases cap "drag".
I have experienced a problem, but I haven't traced the exact cause. I have lost at least three of these pens, two of them this exact model. One finally surfaced, but was claimed by my wife. As far as I can tell, they're a little heavier than a standard pen, and with a smooth, streamlined profile it easily slips out of the smallest hole in my pocket. To help avoid this, I pressed the pocket clip a little further down on the cap to tighten it, and tied a 24" long strand of parachute cord to the clip. So far, so good...[8^)
