American Pride Lever Action Pen Kit (Berea)

Craft a pen that wears American pride on every surface with the American Pride Lever Action Pen Kit from Berea Hardwoods. The hardware carries an Eagle, stars, and the words "We the People" engraved on both sides — a patriotic statement built right into the pen's metal. The mechanism itself is as distinctive as the design: an authentic lever action that extends and retracts the refill exactly like a lever action rifle, with a single cocking motion in each direction.

What truly sets the American Pride Lever Action apart is the combination of meaningful American iconography with a genuinely unique deployment mechanism. The lever action is unlike anything in the bolt action or click-pen category — it's dramatic, tactile, and immediately draws attention. Finished in warm Antique Brass that complements the engraved patriotic motifs, this pen is as much a keepsake as it is a writing instrument.

Features

• Patriotic engravings on both sides: Eagle, stars, and "We the People" are engraved directly onto the hardware — the American Pride theme is built into the pen, not just added to a label

• Authentic lever action mechanism: Cock the lever once to advance the refill, cock it again to retract — a tactile, rifle-inspired deployment that's genuinely unique in the pen-turning world (Pat. Pending)

• Antique Brass finish: Warm, rustic hardware that beautifully complements natural wood blanks — especially dark woods and American hardwoods

• Parker-style refill: Ships ready to write; Parker-style replacements are widely available for long-term use

• Thicker-walled tube: The 10mm tube on this kit has a thicker brass wall than a standard 10mm — more barrel wall means fewer blowouts (see assembly note below)

• An outstanding gift for veterans, military families, hunters, and anyone who proudly displays American heritage
