Some of you have been following us and waiting for the right moment to back this project. If you have been holding out for a brass or titanium version, now is the time to get your pen.
If you have already backed us, there is no need to change your pledge. You can simply select the “add-on” option to upgrade to brass or titanium, so you won’t lose your early bird price.
The upgrade can also be done later via Backer survey after Kickstarter ends - so no one will miss out. Hope that makes sense!
This will also allow you to adjust any pen in your "Set of two pens" pledge if you’d like. You can simply select add-on to either of them without losing your early bird price.
The brass option will be made from lead-free brass. It will not be plated and so will reveal that we'll-known, oxidised patina and feel of brass over time.
For the titanium option, the cap will be made from titanium with a fine brush finish, anodised in a light gunmetal. The rest of the pen will remain in steel. If you prefer a lighter back end of the pen, this may be the better choice for you.
You asked for more materials - so we are making it happen.

After our last update, many of you voted, commented, and messaged us asking for more material choices.
And one request stood out loud and clear – Brass option.
So here is the deal - we will be adding a solid brass Thomas Slim Pocket Pen.
The weight, the warmth, the way it develops a unique patina over time.
We’ve got a lot of followers watching - if you have been on the fence, now’s the moment to jump in!
Already a backer?
Thank you! If you are excited about the brass version, consider sharing the campaign with a friend or someone who likes brass pens.
We are also looking into ways how to introduce titanium. I hope to give you some update on this soon!

We are honestly blown away.
Thanks to your support, we’ve just reached 400% of our funding goal. What started as a product validation project has now grown into something bigger than we imagined - and it’s all because of you.
Now that we have hit this amazing point, we want to keep the momentum going - and we would love your input. We are thinking about what to do next: adding more options or improving this pen. Instead of guessing, we thought we should ask you who made this possible.
Would you prefer adding more plating colours? Or maybe different materials? Or possible add-ons? Or different patterns? Let us know by voting in our simple poll (closing in 3 days), or drop your thoughts in the comments.. We would love to hear from both our backers and also followers considering backing us.

We’re incredibly excited to share that you helped us to reach our funding goal in an unbelievable just 2 hours!
Thank you so much for your amazing support and for choosing to join us on this journey to bring our very first Thomas Slim Pocket Pen to market.
We truly couldn’t have done this without you, and we can’t wait to deliver the pen to you.
But the fun doesn’t stop here - there are still 29 days left in our Kickstarter campaign!
As a new brand, every bit of support makes a huge difference. We’d really appreciate it if you could help spread the word by sharing the campaign with anyone you think might love our EDC Pocket Pen.
We’ll be sure to keep you updated throughout the campaign, so you’ll be with us every step of the way.
Thank you once again for the incredible support.
Mark and the team at Thomas Slim
