Fisher Stowaway Ballpoint- Black

Fisher Pens are the quintessential field pen because it can function under the harshest of conditions. This is the perfect pen for Rite in the Rain waterproof notebooks. It features a black, all metal construction. Pen measures 5.10 inches long when open, 4 inches long when closed. Cap slides on to end of the pen for writing. This pen has a pocket clip. Packaged on a blister card. Made in the USA.

The Stowaway Pen comes with Fisher Pressurized PR4 black ink cartridge, in medium point. This is Fisher's standard 3 1/2 inch long ball point (oil based) cartridge that fits most of their pens. The "write out" for this cartridge is as much as 3 times the "write out" of a standard ball point cartridge. It can write approximately 15,000 feet depending on writing style. So you can draw a line approximately 15,000 feet long with the ink in one cartridge! For comparison, the typical "write out" of a roller ball (water based) cartridge is about half that of a standard ball point cartridge. Oil based ink has excellent shelf life, and writes upside down, under water, and in zero gravity.
