http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Pen
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.
