The Explorer Series of Fisher Space Pens is small, sleek and stylish. It makes a great gift for the "Gal on the go!" Measuring only 4 1/4" (10cm) long when closed, it has a matte black barrel and cap with a black rubber finger grip. The cap comes off and fits on the top of the pen to create a full size, well weighted and balanced pen. The rubber hand grip helps prevent calluses and provides a very comfortable grip for extended use.
