Words of Honor

This unique pen offers an unforgettable way to pay tribute to someone, whether in memory or as a gift. Capped off with the brass cartridge of an upcycled bullet, this handsome design was inspired by the 21-gun salute for designer Jason Smith's father, an American Veteran. Finished with a spalted beech wood base, this pen offers a smooth twist handle and a refillable ballpoint tip. Made in Ingalls, Indiana

Exclusively for UncommonGoods

About how he got started in pen making, Jason Smith recalls, "Several years ago, after being laid-off from my job in the construction industry, my uncle brought me into his small Tennessee workshop and said "I'm gonna teach you how to make a pen." I had no idea that weekend visit to the family mountain was going to evolve into the amazing life I have today. Over the years, I've really grown as an artist, restlessly challenged myself to do better and be better - never losing sight of my commitment to provide the best service and the highest quality writing instruments and gifts possible.

Really just for show

This pen looks cool, but you can't really use it as a pen. It's very unbalanced and back heavy.
