Haven't been writing on this pen fetish for a while but now you have it. I am not going to buy it, ehhhh.

The pen itself is made from anodized aluminum, and features a knurled grip, a medium black SPR4 pressurized Fisher Space Pen ink cartridge, and a built-in stainless steel clip for affixing .....read more »
