SAK 91mm Plus Scale Pen: Do you use it?

[Aloha]

YMMV, but for me the pros outweigh the cons…

Pros
- Outside in the PA winter, the Fisher shrugs off sub-freezing temperatures and keeps writing when other pens would have stopped working
- Lets me write uninterrupted on vertical surfaces
- Effectively waterproof
- Lasts about three times longer than standard pens

Cons:
- Doesn’t write as smoothly as some other pens

Can't argue with those PRO/s.

:agree: and I’ll add to the Pros with
- ability to write on almost any surface

In the Navy, I really came to appreciate the Fisher in the Navy. It was not uncommon to get stopped in a passageway and asked to sign a log, message, etc.  The Fisher ink would sign whatever while it was held up against the bulkhead (wall) and sometimes that whatever might even be damp or greasy.  Other pens couldn’t do that.

I frequently used another pen with different ink at my desk to avoid those smudges, that as a lefty I know too well.  But I found it a huge plus to alway have on me that Fisher pen I knew would work.

Every day at work, to sign out equipment. My daughter tends to play with my fisher pen and lose it, so I use my plus scale pen more often than not.

This is the exact reason to have multiple pens.  Inevitably someone wants to borrow and loose one.

Most of my EDC knives have plus scales, but the only time I've ever used the pen was when we were visiting the kids and playing a family game. Everyone needed a pen and we were one short so I did all my writing with the pen under the hook on my Swiss Champ. It got a lot of laughs from the family but it worked perfectly.

AND if you leave it on your dash in a PA-late-July heatwave, it's not going to run all over. Those things and writing on a wall/ceiling make a Fisher bullet MANDATORY carry for me. I actually avoid plus scales on my SAKs

It’s a great backup pen,and gets used s such on occasion.  Worth having IMO

My wife asked for mine earlier to mark a styrofoam container. Didn't have it for the CYC, but the tip of the nailfile on the Executive worked fine as a scriber.
