Several of the Fisher Space Pen models (the "Millennium" is one) are claimed to write for a lifetime of "average" use; however the product literature states that the pen will write exactly 30.7 miles (approximately 48.15 kilometres).

I get the end rolls from the printing line from our local paper. the kids make drawings that go across the room and down the hall. I know about how to choose pens that last.

hey pat have you ever tried teflon inserts for wax injection?
for making a pen it seems like that might make hollow part easier than drilling.

What did it weight in Aluminum, or what was the wax weight one you did, and what is the length again, I will get a price in Silver for you?
