The rising popularity of eReaders and digital pads offers flexibility for note-taking and annotation, but traditional pens are unlikely to be replaced anytime soon. The new PROOF Vanguard Pen is a testament to this rimless writing instrument. It combines exceptional manufacturing with a silky-smooth writing action that places it above its competitors.

Constructed from solid billet 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, the PROOF Vanguard Pen delivers high-end performance for a truly tactile writing experience. It features a robust bolt-action mechanism for easy writing and drawing, while its stainless-steel internal mechanisms ensure outstanding durability.

The overall ergonomics of the PROOF Vanguard Pen have been carefully considered for a balanced action and all-around reliability. Fitted with a brass clip machine-finished to contrast the satin-anodized body, it’s also easy to store quickly in a breast pocket or on a clipboard.

Compatible with black Fisher Space Pen #SPR4 cartridges, the PROOF Vanguard Pen’s functionality extends to adverse environments. This makes it resilient to rain, cold, grease, and other elements that would otherwise impact the writing quality. It’s a highly reputable cartridge that has even been used on crewed space missions, including by the astronauts on the Apollo 11 expedition.
