The Trailforge Apex™ Click Pen is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted writing instrument made from authentic Jeep Fordite and richly figured Purpleheart wood, combining rugged automotive heritage with bold natural character and modern performance.
Crafted from two pieces of Purpleheart—known for its deep, evolving tone—and paired with a striking slice of Fordite, this pen highlights the contrast between organic wood grain and layered automotive paint. The result is a dynamic, balanced design that feels both refined and distinctly unique.
This pen brings together two materials shaped by entirely different processes:
Genuine Jeep Fordite formed from layered automotive paint
Purpleheart hardwood prized for its strength and rich character
Carefully selected and arranged for depth, contrast, and visual balance
Every pen is completely unique—no two patterns or grain structures will ever be the same.
