Fisher Bullet Space Pen - Matte Black

Iconic space pen. Writes upside down, underwater, in extreme temperatures. Matte black brass.

Why This Exists

The Bullet Space Pen was the very first pen created by Paul C. Fisher in 1948 — the pen that started it all. Fisher worked at an airplane propeller factory during WWII and applied his knowledge about ball bearings to create his first ballpoint pen. The result was Bullet #400, which featured the very first 'universal refill' ink cartridge that brought leak-proof pens to the consumer marketplace.

Cited as an outstanding example of industrial art, the Bullet is exhibited in the permanent collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art. When closed, it's compact at 10cm long — perfect for carrying in your wallet, pocket, purse, or glove box. When open with the cap posted, it becomes a full-sized, evenly balanced 14cm writing instrument. Still the most popular pen in the Fisher range today, the Bullet's timeless design has made it an icon in the ballpoint pen industry.
