Others may have received an email from Berea announcing their new Carbine Ballpoint, which is effectively the same as the Bolt Action but with a changed clip featuring a carbine as opposed to the rifle on the Bolt Action.

Its here if you want to have a look: Carbine™ Pen Kit Making Supplies Berea HardWoods

Interestingly its starting price is $10.25 whereas the Bolt Action is around $12.95. Do we have the outbreak of a price war?

Its very interesting that exactly the same product with just a change in clip which I would guess has the same manufacturing costs is so much cheaper. I still haven't made one yet and probably won't even though I know they sell very well.
