The Thunderbird Retractable Pen is part of the The Fisher Space Pens Aviation Series. This series also includes a Thunderbird Mechanical Pencil. You can but them individually or get them as a set in an impressive gift box.

What makes them Thunderbirds? It is actually the United States Air Force Thunderbirds ink pen. It was intentionally designed with a gripping knob so that pilots could easily retrieve and replace the pens from the lower leg pocket of their flight suit. Pretty clever, huh?

The barrel of the pen is engraved with the word Thunderbird and the the knob of both the pen and pencil have the Thunderbird emblem in color. Both of these top of the line writing instruments are 5 inches long with a .375 diameter barrel. The pen uses medium point black ink while the pencil uses .9 mm lead. These are nice high-end gift options for any aviation fan.

If your gift target is not high end and is not an aviation fan, then take a look at some of the other Fisher Pens at Cyber Space Pens. I have it on good authority that the Chrome X Marks makes and excellent gift (my friend loves the one I bought her for Christmas). The Rainbow Titanium Nitride is another very safe bet. It is a very popular pen.

Ok Ladies, how many times have you pulled your pen out of your purse and it didn’t work?  Granted, it’s not the end of the world, but it is highly annoying.  Well, Fisher Space Pens has a solution to that problem too.  The Fisher Stowaway Series Pens are inexpensive and perfect for your checkbook, purse, or day planner.

The Stowaway’s come in three styles - without clip, with clip, with clip and stylus - and three colors - red, blue, and black.  These are very slim, capped pens.  When they are capped they are a compact 3-7/8 inches long and when they are ready to write they are 5-1/4 inches long.  Like I said, perfect for your checkbook, purse, or day planner.

Though they are non-refillable, they still have the pressurized ink cartridge and will write at any angle and in nearly any circumstance.  All of the Stowaway Pens come with black ink and a medium point.

Another great option in the non-refillable category is the Rocket Series Pens.  These pens are not as small and compact as the Stowaways, but they have the same basic great features.  They are inexpensive and reliable!  These are retractable pens and come in red, black, blue, and silver.  They each come with a fine point cartridge with ink that matches the color of the barrel of the pen.

These make great gifts, but they are inexpensive enough to justify buying for yourself!

As I was sitting here pondering which awesome Fisher Space Pen to write about today, I just started looking through the site.  I realized that my favorite pen depends on my mood.  Two weeks ago, the X-750 Pens were my heart’s desire.  They are just so professional looking - though the Blue X-750 does add a bit of fun to the mix.

Before that, I was all about the Lime Green Bullet Pen with the Golf Ball on it.  How could anyone not love that pen?  I always refer to it as the happy little pen.  I do not even golf - but I love that pen!

The most predictable pen for me to like - if you know me - is the Titanium Coated Bullet Pen - Black Titanium Nitride.  It’s simple, sleek, and just really cool looking.  I love simple cool looking things.

Well, as I looked through the site this morning, I was surprised to discover that is I were to receive my choice of Fisher Pens today, it would be … (drum roll) … the Translucent Lacquered Bullet Pen - Red Cherry with Clip.  I know, the picture sort of gave away.  I am not even that fond of red but I really like the way this pen looks.  All of the Lacquered Bullets are so vibrant and I think the chrome clip really sets off the color. Yes, it’s a woman typing this entry!

Though the pictures on the site show the pens well, what they don’t show is how small they are with the cap on.  They are less than four inches long.  When you remove the cap and place it on the other end for writing, the pen looks full-size.  It really is something to open up that box and see that little pen in there.  You will definitely want to keep these in mind as gift ideas.  You can even by the set of five and save money.  Then you’ll have them and you can just decide who to give them to.  Good luck with that … you’ll want to keep them for yourself!

Anyone who has served or is serving in our Armed Forces takes great pride in that service.  This fact is not lost on Fisher Space Pens and that is why you will find a whole series of pens (actually two series) dedicated to the U.S. Military.

The Military Bullet Pens have a Matte Black or Chrome finish and can be purchased with either the seal for a particular branch or the word/letters identifying the particular branch (ARMY, NAVY, USMC, USAF, USCG).  The pens that have the letters come with the removable clip, but if you order a pen with the seal and want the clip as well, you can purchase it.  For those proud Marines, there is also a Marine Corps Red Bullet Pen, and honestly that is the pen to buy your favorite Marine.

Military Cap-O-Matics are another option.  While they aren’t as small and well, frankly sweet looking as the Bullet Pens, they are a bit more practical as they come with a clip and are retractable.  These only come in the Matte Black Finish which again is practical since you want to be using a pen that is not going to reflect light if you are in a tactical environment.

Really, a pen from either series would make a great gift.  As an Army veteran, I would love a Chrome Bullet Pen with the Army Seal.  Since I am no longer worried about light reflecting, I am going to go for style.  Unfortunately, no one in my life thinks I need one - I guess they are not as proud of my service as I am!  Seriously, this is a perfect gift to show someone your gratitude for their service.  If you are buying for someone currently serving overseas … go with Matte Black in either the Bullet or the Cap-O-Matic.  If you are buying for a veteran, go with the Chrome Bullet.  You have no idea how much your acknowledgment of their service will mean to them.

Did you get a Fisher Space Pen for Christmas?  Sadly, I did not.  I did give one as a gift and it did turn out to be a nice little conversation piece.  These pens really are great and I enjoy talking about them … to an annoying degree sometimes I am afraid … but I love when I get to the point of mentioning the Lifetime Pens.  No one ever believes me when I tell them that these pens will last about eighty years without running out of ink.  It goes the same way each time, they keep saying something like, “It won’t run out of ink? … You mean without a refill? … How is that possible?”  They never end up believing me!

It is in fact true that the Lifetime Pens will not run out of ink in the average person’s life span.  I do not know how it is possible, and I do not care … I kind of like the mystery.  I only know that a pen from this series this is not the pen for me, because I tend to lose things like pens, and keys, and cell phones.  This is the pen for the person who can keep track of it for eighty or so years, and who can afford it or has friends who can afford to gift it as a gift.  (It costs a wee bit more than a Bic)

There are three varieties in the Lifetime Series (I keep thinking of television made for women), the Millenium Pens, the Millenium II Pens, and the Mars Pens.  All of them come with Bold points and either blue or black ink.  The Millenium Pens have a Chrome finish, while the Millenium II and the Mars Pens have Titanium Nitride Finishes in either black or gold. 

These really are the ultimate pens.

Just in case you missed it, there is a new Fisher Space Pen in town.  Some wonder how it could have taken this long for Fisher Pens to get around to making a bullet pen out of a real shell casing, but it doesn’t matter, because it’s here.  The .375 H&H Bullet Pen is capped pen that uses the .375 Mag Shell case as the cap.

Okay, for those of us who know nothing about guns and bullets …. what is a .375 H&H Mag Shell Case?  Thank you Wikipedia - I have my answer.  The “.375″ refers to the bullet diameter.  The “H&H” stands for Holland & Holland,  the British Company who introduced this bullet in 1912. The “Magnum” part basically means it carries a big boom.  The “Case” means you have the shell without the inside part that carries the big boom.  So, it could be referred to as the .375 Diameter Holland & Holland Big Boom Bullet Shell Pen … kind of fun to say, but not very practical.

If you look at at a real .375 H&H Mag rifle round and then you look at this pen … it’s pretty neat.  Go ahead, look up an image and compare.  Wikipedia also informs me that the maximum cartridge length is 3.6 inches and the Bullet Pen comes in at just under 4 inches (with the lid on).  Not too shabby.

Now don’t you just want to buy this for someone?  You might be a little late for Christmas, but it’s always somebody’s birthday!  Keep this Bullet Pen in mind!

Since much of the country is digging out from snow, ice or both, it seems a good time to talk about bright and cheery bullet pens from Fisher Space Pens.  Which pens are the cheery ones?  Well, in this writer’s opinion the Transclucent Lacquered Bullet Pens are.  They come in five different vibrant colors and each one would bring a smile to its owner on a day like today.

With a name like Purple Passion, you know this is a fun pen.  It’s a nice bright purple and like all of the the lacquered pens, the chrome underneath the finish creates a brilliant effect.  If purple is your favorite color, this is your pen.

The Red Cherry Bullet is just so red.  Every time I look at it I think of a friend of mine loves this color. This would be such a great gift for any red lover. One thing that many people don’t realize about these pens, is that when the cap is on they are less than four inches long.  When you see them in the box they are just so cute!

Those lovers of pink will absolutely love the Fucshia Flurry Pen.  It’s such a rich shade, yet still very pretty and feminine.  Sorry to any of you guys who like pink!

I have a friend who is a borderline fanatical Dallas Cowboys fan.  He thinks the Blueberry Bullet is the most perfect color.  Why have I not yet purchased this pen for him?  Because I like any team but the Cowboys.  I do think the pen is cool though.

I am partial to the Lime Green Bullet.  When I think of a pen that would cheer me up at work, this is the pen.  It’s just such a happy color!

All of these pens can be purchased with or without the chrome clip. It does add a nice accent when the cap is off and you can see the chrome at the bottom of the pen.

If you are snowed in and sad today, check out all of these pens and treat yourself to a cheery pen.

Time is running out and no sane person wants to go out shopping in the kind of weather most of the country is facing.  Shop online!  It’s warm, it’s easy, it’s secure (at least it is at Cyber Space Pens), and you can do it in your pajamas!

Have you seen the Telescoping Pen from Fisher Space Pens?  It’s a handy little retractable pen that will fit in your front pocket without breaking.  I am told this is handy for golfers.  The pen is only 3-7/8″ long when it is retracted and 4-3/8″ long when you pull then end out.  Yes, you pull the end out to make it ready to write and then push the end in to retract it.

Fisher Pens also has the Alan Shepherd Golf Telescoping Pen, which is the same pen with a golf ball on the end and “Alan Shepherd Golf Pen” writing on the barrel.  Now, if you are not into golf and you are not into history, you might not know who Alan Shepherd is or was.

Alan Shepherd was a descendant of Richard Warren who was a passenger on the Mayflower, but that’s not why he is on a pen with a golf ball on it.  He was also an Astronaut who was the fifth man to walk on the moon, and while he was there he brought out a six iron attached to a lunar sample scoop and hit a couple of golf balls.  See the connection?  Space Pen … Astronaut who golfed in space.  Not only is this a great pen, but you can use it to show your superior intellect.  Your friends (or the friends of the person who receives this as a gift) will ask who Alan Shepherd is and you can shame them for not knowing their history.  I am sure the embarrassment will affect their game.

This really is a fun gift idea, again, for that person who has everything.  You can rest assured it will be treasured.

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines Classic as Serving as the established model or standard, and this is precisely how the Classic Fisher Bullet Pens could be defined.  It’s easy to forget about the Classic Fisher Bullet Pens when you see the vibrant colors of the Lacquered Bullet Pens or the or the sharp, professional look of the X-750 pens.

The Classic Bullets come in four finishes.  The Chrome finish is smooth and glossy and can be engraved to show the brass underneath.  The Matte Black finish is smooth and has a non-glare finish.  The Brushed Chrome has a textured look and feel and a matte finish.  The Gold, which is  actually Lacquered Brass, has the brass finish of which the pen is made.  It has very fine accent rings cut into making it look quite pretentious.  All of these pens are classy-looking, but the Gold Bullet is like any other Gold Fisher (take a peek at the Gold Titanium Nitride Bullet Pen)
- it says, “Yeah, I am more successful than you.”  You probably know at least one person who would love to communicate this as they write.  There are certain settings in which this writer would love to flash my gold Fisher Pen!

Some people are more subtle or would rather just be seen as cool.  Consider any matte black space pen for these folks.  Also, matte black is a great finish to go with if you are shopping for a military member.  If you are shopping for a soldier, Fisher Space Pens has a line of Military Pens that you’ll want to see as well.

Time is drawing short for Christmas shopping, but don’t worry, a Fisher Space Pen makes a good gift for any occasion.

The X-Mark Ultimate Sports Pen - what makes it the Ultimate Sports Pen?  I am going to go with the fact that they have a picture of a scuba diver on the card.  I am not sure how much writing scuba divers do while they’re diving, but it’s good to know that with this pen, they could if they wanted to.  This Fisher Space Pen comes in either Matte Black or Chrome and you can get it in a gift box or carded as shown.  Normally, I would go for the gift box, but when I give this to my friend for Christmas (and I am really getting my friend one for Christmas) - I want her to see all the pictures so she will know the this pen can be in the kayak with her.

This really is a sharp pen and it really will write in all the conditions that it lists.  You know that when your friend or relative opens your Fisher Pen gift, the first thing everyone will want to do is test it.  Big fun Christmas memories just waiting to happen.  You can all gather around the freezer when you think it’s been in there long enough and see if it really does write in freezing conditions.  Even better, if you live in area of the country where winter has already struck, just send someone outside for a half hour or so and see if Fisher Space Pen’s claims hold true.  That would be really fun for those inside! Keep that camera handy!

Remember, there are pens for every personality on your list.  Be sure and check out our entire selection at Cyber Space Pens - every pen is offered at a discounted rate.  Don’t be alarmed, but Christmas is next week!
