FisherSpace Original Astronaut Retractable Pen, Metallic

What can you say, a brilliant design. Good enough for the Moon minions, good enough for everything else. Brilliant pen.

This was the third Space Pen I have bought, I like the way it feels and it looks very nice too. It writes well too. Some may think the price is high, but one has to remember that it can write in different adverse condition, including weightless is space.

Really pleased with this pen and agree with all the positive reviews listed here. I think the negative comments regarding the lightness of the spring are unfounded as I’ve found the action feels positive and very slick when deploying/retracting the point. Prior to purchasing I was concerned that the ridges where you hold the pen don’t look like they’d give good traction but was extremely pleased to find they’re actually very effective. All in all, a great pen at a great price (cheaper than I could find elsewhere), plus it arrived the day after ordering, well before the date originally stated.

Never mind the historical significance of the Fisher AG7 Space Pen, this is a solid, well built good looking pen which has become my daily favourite. It is very slightly top heavy given that the retraction mechanism is at the top of the pen but it handles very well and is a pleasure to write with. The prices on Amazon are up to £20 cheaper than other on-line resellers, so grab yourself an historical bargain.

What is there to say, it's a pen :)! A very good pen, quite smooth when writing with especially at an angle and indeed upside down, if you're so inclined. Feels quite "weighty" as a good pen should and the all metal construction should ensure a long, robust life.Not entirely sure it justifies the price but hey, it's a Space Pen, so perhaps good for the space enthusiasts!

My first one was purchased at the gift shop at the nasa space Kennedy centre in Florida back in 1995 by my grandmother. After losing that one years ago and the passing of my dearly loved grandma I decided to purchase a new one. The pen is still as comfortable to use now as it was all them years ago. An everyday pen that will always have a special place in my life

A lovely solid quality item, with a great sense of history to it. From a practical point of view though I find the AG7 tapered grip near the point rather narrow and my fingers often cramp up a bit after a while. I also have the Space Pen Shuttle Black Grid model (in fact, I've had the Black Grid one getting on for about 35 years now I think), which is also slim, but it's not tapered and I find it more comfortable for writing. Space pens are great for writing on paper vertically up against a wall, or e.g. doing a shopping list in bed with the pad up against your knees. In any case, the AG7's a beautiful thing and I wouldn't be without it!

What a beauty. I’ve got the bullet pen but decided I owed myself a treat so bought this. It’s a beautifully designed and balanced pen. As usual it writes upside down so the ink doesn’t dry up when you’re leaning against a wall. I’m not sure what you call it, but the nib retraction mechanism is unusual and highly addictive!
