My wife bought me a Fisher M4C, the chrome capomatic for Xmas, because I'd been saying I wanted a space pen. She was telling people at work that she'd bought me a pen that could write in space and they'd say, what does he want that for? It wasn't until she told me this story that I said to her, well, it can write upside down, and in the wet and all.
I liked it too much to use at work, so kept it for my non work EDC. I bought some of the refills and stuck one of them in a freebie pens at work. I was happy enough with that until the pen started getting pretty ratty. Have just bought a Parker Jotter and put the Fisher refill in that.
I lost my M4C on a plane in Sydney, and was annoyed at myself as I even heard the guy in the seat behind ask out loud if anyone had lost a pen, but at the time I didn't think I had
. Anyway, hope he's enjoying it now. My wife is now buying me an AG7, which I'll be much more diligent about not losing. I was a little unhappy with the M4C in terms of its strength. I'm sure I bent it a little out of shape having it in my jeans pocket. Other than that, I loved it.
The Fisher is great. I work at a smelter, and things get quite dirty. Carbon copy form books come with some type of paper that works fine when it is first used, but get to the end of the day when umpteen people have signed on and off the form and it can become impossible to write on with a normal pen. I don't have to write essays with it, but when I need it to work it does.
I wish they were cheaper in Australia though. Prices are somewhat ridiculous for decent pens here, sometimes twice the price but often 3-4 times more than USA. A Fisher PR Refill costs about $10 from eBay and I haven't yet found it cheaper.
