New Series Ballpoint Pen Kits

Craft a pen that blends timeless form with thoughtful modern upgrades — the New Series Ballpoint Pen Kit by Berea Hardwoods. This is the evolution of the beloved Flat Top/American ballpoint, refined with a stylish domed cap, an all-metal modern nib, and your choice of a classic geometric or elegant floral center band. Available in Chrome and Gold platings, this kit delivers a pen that looks and writes like a professional instrument — not a craft project.

What truly sets the New Series apart is its premium large-refill twist mechanism. Compatible with Parker-style and Fisher Space Pen refills, this two-piece cap-and-barrel design offers a smooth, satisfying action and a bold, substantial feel in the hand. The durable 3-piece center ring adds both visual weight and long-term durability — a subtle detail that separates this kit from the crowd.

Features

• Domed cap finial — a modern upgrade over the original flat-top profile, giving the pen a refined, upscale silhouette

• All-metal modern nib — elevated tip section with a premium look and feel that complements figured blanks beautifully

• Geometric or floral center band — two distinct design personalities in one kit; choose the look that fits the blank and the buyer

• 3-piece center ring — enhances structural durability while adding a bold, professional mid-barrel accent

• Premium single-twist mechanism — smooth, satisfying ballpoint action with reliable extension and retraction

• Parker & Fisher Space Pen refill compatible — accepts premium large ink refills for a superior writing experience right out of the box

• Two-piece cap-and-barrel design — substantial, comfortable hand feel with the classic look of a capped pen

• Also available as Fountain or Rollerball — build a matched set in the same New Series family for gifting or display
