> made to last with enough ink to write for an average of 3,5 km

measuring ink capacity in km makes total sense but I find it hilarious

    The skilcraft US government pen, was spec'd to write 5k in -40F to 160F and is also manufactured by the blind. I've got a box of them spread out anywhere I need a pen.

      My grandfather had a skillcraft stick pen (the cheapest one they make) from his last job before retiring. I'm pretty sure that same pen sat in a cup in his kitchen for like 30 years and was used daily. Never ran out.

The box at your link calls it "Cristal fine Orange", so it's still a type of BIC Cristal like a sibling comment says.
