Besides being one of my favorite products out there, the Stainless Steel Sharpie Permanent Marker was one of my favorite reviews ever, but unfortunately it seems to have been discontinued while I wasn’t paying attention. This is more of just a PSA that if you own one of these great items, you might want to stock up on a few refills (via Amazon) so you can extend the life of yours if you were lucky enough to grab one before they discontinued them.
One option you do still have left at the time of this writing is you can check out eBay where you are going to pay a heck of a lot more for the actual whole marker instead of just a refill. I had to search through the results for a little bit because I kept coming across the Stainless Steel Sharpie Pen and not the marker, but I eventually found (here via eBay) but for a pretty inflated price. Not sure why Sharpie discontinued these because they are pretty awesome, but this seems like the last way to get your hands on one. I did check a few dozen other office supply stores online that had them showing in their search results, but upon adding them to my cart they all said they were out of stock.
If you are looking for the refills in person or just searching online, the photo above shows what the packaging looks like. Just make sure you look for the red and black packaging with the model number 1751000 in the upper left corner. You don’t want to confuse these with the refills for the stainless steel Sharpie Pen. As you can see, I grabbed two for myself, I might grab a few more. Either way I suggest that if you love your Stainless Steel Sharpie Permanent Marker as much as I do, you better get some of these refills (via Amazon) now before they are gone
Hey Brian!
I was able to order a Stainless Steel Sharpie from amazon last Wednesday. 2 refill packs were supposed to come with the order but they were a no-show. Amazon promised they would be here today. I absolutely love this Sharpie!!! Thanks for mentioning it even though they have been discontinued. I was lucky and happy to find one.

Having had the Stainless Steel Sharpie for years, it never occurred to me that it would be discontinued…until my ink began to fade….after much searching your site saved me the grief of losing a wonderful and elegant means of marking rather than the rather so=so plastic version. Color me Happy !!!
This was the permanent marker of my dreams, sadly pulled from the shelves by its maker. It will be a challenge making my arsenal of two pens and six refills last a lifetime. But I’ll stay positive.
Hey guys, I imagine a lot of Chef’s are looking at this post. If you can secure a marker body inexpensively as I did, just vacuum seal the refills in the package. Hell, vac them twice. I have a LARGE order coming in soon (11 refills) and I intend to vac seal all of mine. If that doesnt work, the carrier liquid for the ink is common 95% rubbing alcohol. Dab a slight bit on your tips several times (waiting several minutes between dabs) and try again. It’s a good remedy for sharpies that are writing streaky and blue also. Make sure your tape is clean though.
