Fisher’s New Kote of Arms Strengthens Pen’s Prospects and Popularity

Boulder City, NV (October 5, 2023) – The Kote of Arms that Fisher Space Pen® introduced one year ago today with Cerakote-enhanced pens has strengthened brand loyalty and given customers a range of new color options, helping energize the 75-year-old ballpoint pen company.

Fisher Space Pen Co. has already earned a reputation of excellent quality and durability as defined by its motto, “Goes Anywhere, Writes Everywhere®.” Striving for even better, Fisher Space Pen teamed up with NIC Industries to present pens with an impenetrable Cerakote coating.

Cerakote is an innovative coating method that creates a thin layer of ceramic and polymer on the surface to protect the material from corrosion and enhance its functionality. Across industries, Cerakote technology has proven to be superior to other coating methods for its corrosion resistance and temperature stability. Moreover, Cerakote comes in hundreds of beautiful colors that can make any surface more visually pleasing. As a result, the combination of Cerakote and Fisher’s exceptional performance, enhanced functionality and extraordinary visuals is achieved.

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the response we’ve seen since the launch of our Space Pens with Cerakote Finish,” said Matt Fisher, Vice President of Fisher Pen Company. “Combining with NIC Industries is the type of partnership, innovation, inspiration and strength our family-owned company continues to strive for.” 

Fisher has unveiled seven new Cerakote colors since the partnership began, with all seven colors available in the M4 model and four of the colors currently available in the Bullet® Space Pen.

Last year’s lift-off of the new Cerakote options began with their classic Bullet Space Pen coated in Armor Black and Tungsten and as their workhorse Cap-O-Matic Space Pen in Tungsten as well. The popularity of the Tungsten color has exceeded all expectations, and has become the most sought-after pen in the Cerakote collection to date.

Black Cherry Cerakote was unveiled on November 10, 2022, just in time for last year’s holiday rush in both Bullet and M4 models, and its distinct color is a very popular choice among all avid pen users.

This year began with another two new coatings being introduced among the M4 models, including Flat Dark Earth and OD Green, colors that have been extremely popular among the Everyday Carry community.

Following that was the announcement of a new partnership with Axiom Space and the introduction of an elite writing tool, the Elite Navy Cerakote Bullet and Cap-O-Matic Space Pen. Companies like Axiom are choosing Fisher Space Pen for its elite standards and the ability to put tools into the hands of space explorers with rugged durability and a guarantee that no matter the mission, you can confidently go anywhere and write everywhere while impressing everyone.

To help celebrate National Hunting and Fishing Day, Fisher launched their latest energetic color, Hi-Vis Orange Cerakote which is now available and trending in the Cap-O-Matic design. The launch has matched the pen’s visibility with customers, helping achieve great early returns among hunters and tradespeople and the pen’s expansive Everyday Carry community.

Fisher’s partnership with Cerakote is a way to offer their classic, ruggedly reliable pens for people who need them the most. For every space explorer, writer, worker, first responder, hunter or angler who needs the assistance of a great writing instrument, the new Fisher-Cerakote collaboration pens are as tough as you.
