Benchmade 1200 Pen Refill - Need Advice

[Insider]

Hi everyone!

 

I have a pen made by the knife company Benchmade.

This model has been discontinued a while ago and I haven't used it for a long time already as the refill is empty.

And today I ran into it in my pen cup and thought I should try to find the refill for it as the pen itself is pretty nice.

 

I really thought it should not be a problem as it has a Fisher refill in it but I never knew it was some kind of proprietary and I was unable to find it anywhere on the internet.

It says SPS4 on the refill and to buy more I should visit benchmade.com

And they don't seem to have it for sale as well.

 

Can anyone please advice me of some kind of alternative? Any of your thoughts are appreciated.

 

Here's what the pen and refill look like.

usk15, thanks for the links! I have those refills and non of them fit, unfortunatelly. I really like the Schneider though.

 

BaronWulfraed, thank you!

Seems like this is it! I've just measured the refill and it's

 

106.6 = 4.19inch LONG
3mm = 0.11inch THICK

 

So yeah, I do think this is the refill! Thanks a lot again.

 

Now we have another question - I can't find them on eBay and any other online stores.

I myself am located outside the US so I can't buy directly

 

Any idea where I can get this very uncommon refill?

 

Thanks!

Well, while Fisher only ships to within the US, they do have link with distributors...

which might give you a point of contact. Besides the PS4 there were a few others -- different color or tip size I believe.
