Ellipse Ballpoint Pen Kits

Turn a pen that does double duty with the Ellipse Ballpoint Pen Kit — a twist ballpoint that includes a screw-on stylus cap so it works on touchscreens too. A beautifully engraved center band featuring contrasting ellipse motifs gives it a refined, sculptural look that stands apart from the standard Sierra. Easy refill access and a single-tube construction make it an excellent choice for new and experienced turners alike.

Why Turners Love This Kit

The built-in stylus cap makes this pen genuinely useful in the modern world — hand someone this pen and they can use it on their phone or tablet without a second thought. The engraved ellipse center band elevates it above a standard Sierra, giving exotic wood or bold acrylic blanks a frame that matches their character. Sierra tooling means zero extra investment to get started, and the thoughtful refill-swap design keeps the pen in rotation for years.
