    Default More bolt actions

    These things are by far and away the most popular pen kit I've come across yet.

    Thanks, I've sold more wood ones but I also have a lot of exposure to Defence personnel and have sold a few cam ones that way. I have eight hand made pens on my desk at work and I find that my bolt action is the one I reach for nearly every time. The weight and mechanism are fantastic. I use gel ink refills just because I like them

    thanks for the reply

    i think Antler will go better here due to the amount of hunters in the area, followed by Camo

    but i will do some wood maybe even a Knot for the circle of life and how everything joins together to make one, but then again no-one else will probably understand the meaning looking at it

    all the best
