Your EDC gear should be reliable, functional, and comfortable to carry. ZeroHour know this, as seen in their successful flashlight projects they've completed. Now, they've set their sights on doing it again with a premium pen that ticks all the feature boxes for an everyday jotter at an affordable price.

The Apex is designed around the Fisher Space Pen refill, a community favorite thanks to its ability to write in every environmental condition or orientation. Many tactical pens are so long that they become unwieldy and heavy, but the Apex's total length of 4.7” makes it compact and easy to carry. It comes in 6061 aluminum or grade 5 titanium, popular materials that offer ideal strength-to-weight ratios and also fit the look of many EDC loadouts. Its skeletonized barrel cuts down weight even further and doubles in showing off the brass Fisher refill underneath. Finally, its tail end features a safety-capped tungsten steel tip, a hardened material that lets you use the Apex for emergency situations as a glass breaker or for self-defense.

There's under a week left to pledge for the Apex, which is already well on its way with its funding. Add this feature-heavy but pocket light pen to your carry by checking it out at the link below.

Looks like a great pen. If it accommodated the Pilot G2 refills, it would much more attractive to me.
