Never saw one before. They do look pretty neat though. Will you be buying directly from that site, or have you found a place to get them for less than $20?

[I'm Still Bison]

As it stands now,I'll be buying direct from their site;but if I can find anyplace,online or brick & mortar that gives me a better price,I'll do it,and let you know.

A friend of mine gave me one back in January and it lives on my keychain now.  It's nice to always have a pen around.  Actually, Fisher is making something similar now too, the Trekker:

I think Zebra makes a design like that also.

two pack of the zebras for less than 5 bucks at wallyworld.  No stylus though.

I've used the Zebras and I like them a lot, but I am pretty sure that the Inka is quite a bit shorter and maybe a little slimmer as well, if that matters to you.

I don't know much about the Inka Pen. But I recommend the similar Zebra Pen.  I have been carrying one in the fold of my wallet for some time now.  Also if you want to put it on your key chain it has a small split ring hole at the top of the cap.

I carried the Zebra Telescopic for quite a while in my phone pouch,and I liked it a lot.I wasn't aware Zebra made a pen that fits my new needs,but Zebra has such a big product catalog,it's hard to keep up on all their offerings. I'll have to check out Wally World on my next trip,I wish I could field test all of the pens mentioned here.

I wonder if the ink is thick like the space pens.
I have had a number of space pens and they work like they say, but I just don't like the way they feel when using  them. The ink has such a thick feel to it and the ink that is left on the tip alway's seems to pick up dirt, lint and dust.

After trying many different types of pens I ended up liking the cheap Pilot G-2 .05 gel pens that you can buy everyplace for next to nothing. They also make a mini version too.

It does not write upside down or on wet/damp items, but I like the feel to the ink when writting.
I started looking at space pens at first because I do end up writting on paper that is up against walls and on damp paper at work.

It's also nice to have a pen for outdoor use that writes on damp paper.
Often time when out geocaching I end up using the pen in my swiss card to sign damp log books.
It works great and thought I heard it was made like a space pen.

 You heard correctly,the pens on Vic's Swisscards,and knives are made by Fisher.

Did you get the inka pen yet?
It would nice to see some specs for size on the space pen one.

I haven't laid my hands on one yet? When I get one..I think the cam I have will be able to capture some shots worth posting.

I like my Fisher Bullet pen.  I have often thought of drilling a couple of holes near the tip to hook a ring on for easier carry since the pocket clip slips off so easily, but I have never done it since I am certain I'd end up just making a mess of it.

The Pilot gel pens are also really nice, but since I'm usually pretty hard on things I hate to try and carry a plastic bodied pen anywhere.  I have several around the house though, and that's usually what I gravitate to for marking envelopes.

Of all the tools onboard my Manager,I've found that I've used the pen the most.So it makes sense to me to keep on my ring a pen closer to full size but still compact

I actually have a Signature type SAK with a pull out PDA stylus!

I may try the new space pen version of the Inka.

I wish I could find some specs for size.

Isn't that one of the old style 58mm Vics,that had the removable pens? I think replacement pens are still availible,but a little hard to find.

I agree,it would be nice if manufacturers would list size specs more often

Indeedily doo....

I was actually looking for the one with the slide out stylus but got a removable one instead.  I'm not complaining- you never see the pen versions of these and I never thought they even made a stylus model like this!
