Berea Carbara Ballpoint Pen?

Anyone notice that the pen that Berea was calling the Atlas (I really like these kits) is now the Carbara? Anyone know why? Looks the same as the Atlas, they actually did not change the 'atlas' name in the URL:

I hadn't noticed this, but interestingly enough, Bear Tooth Woods now calls this the 'Big A' pen.

Probably someone stepped on someone else's corporate toes in naming it the "atlas", and now its a shuffle, shuffle, sidestep to avoid litigation, don'cha think????

Shannon is right. The Atlas pen company objected and changing the name seemed easier than fighting.

Does this mean if we have an atlas kit around and save the plastic bag it came in we can count the pen as something high falutin' like a limited edition or the last of it's kind??? [}][}]

Personally, I don't like either of the new names- the big A sounds like a small pen trying to seem bigger to me and the carbara just sounds like too much of a mouthful!

Personally, I think if you want to seperate yourself, you should be coming up with some of your own names for pens anyway. Look at the people who have websites and sell pens just on this site, then probably multiply that by 50 or more. With everyone calling a kit the same thing, some originality gets lost. When that happens, hpw do you expect one to pay $$ more from one person than another they found on the web.

In looking at sites, I have found a lot of sites that look great, but as far as photos go and the simple descriptions and naming of pens, Penworks gets my vote as best so far. He changes the names and gives the stuff we sell a distinctive personality so that anyone looking at the stuff has to consider buying.

My dear sweet Angela, you know better than to leave me something like this. But I'll be nice... just this once.[}][:0][]

Oops, and this one wasn't even intentional![}][}]

I am glad to know that Randy's not the only one who recognizes just how dear and sweet I am! [^][^]
