Hey Backers,
We did it!
Thank you so much to every single one of you who pledged and helped make our Kickstarter campaign a success! We're truly grateful for the trust you've placed in this project. We couldn't have reached our goal without you.
Funds Collection Phase
As a quick heads-up on the next steps: Kickstarter now takes approximately 2 weeks (14 calendar days) after the campaign ends to collect and process all the pledges, handle any payment issues, and then release the funds to us. Once those funds are in our account (which may take a few extra days to fully appear), we'll move quickly to prepare and send out invitations to our BackerKit survey. This will allow us to get your final reward selections, addresses, and any other details we need to fulfill everything smoothly.
This period right after the campaign closes is often called the "quiet time" for projects — things might seem a little silent on our end while we wait for the funds — but rest assured, we're actively monitoring everything and will be back in touch with updates and the BackerKit invites as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience during this standard processing window!
Our Next Project: KEYSPARK
In the meantime, we wanted to share something exciting with you: We're gearing up to launch another project soon that we're really excited about, and we'd love to have your support again when it goes live.
Specs may change slightly in mass production.
Just to address any questions that might come up: This upcoming project is being developed in partnership with a different manufacturing partner. We want to be clear that this will not cause any delay or impact to the manufacturing and fulfillment timeline for your current ONAMI project — we're keeping everything on separate tracks to ensure smooth progress for both.
Please Vote on the Poll
We are taking a poll regarding the new KEYSPARK flashlight. We understand there isn't a lot of information regarding it right now but just based on what you see, what is the maximum price you would pledge for one of these flashlights? Note: We already have a pricing structure in mind but wanted opinions from the community.
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. We're thrilled to be on this journey with such an amazing community of backers. More updates soon!

Hey Backers,
Just a quick update here. We just got in some of the final production samples of the hanks from our friends over at AwesomeHank and they look great! We are going to be able to move forward with a full production with your help!
Check them out!
The back-side of the hank will feature the dotted Seigaiha pattern that you see in the photos above.
We hope everyone considers supporting both of our companies by purchasing one as an ADD-ON to go along with your ONAMI reward.
Thank you!

Hey Backers!
Just a quick backer update to announce that we just crossed the $20,000 mark! Thank YOU! Your support has pushed us over this stretch goal. As promised, this means every knife reward will now include a black paracord lanyard at no extra cost to you.

We have samples of the collaboration hanks ADD-ON coming in soon: Ukiyo-e landscape design featuring waves, mountains, moon, and a red cherry blossom tree. Once they are in we will shoot photos and share it with you in a future backer update.
Follow us on Instagram
We understand not everyone has an Instagram account but if you do, please consider giving us a follow! We post up announcements and product photos for both current and future products on there:
What a Great First Day! Thank You! + Stretch Goal?

Hey Backers!
Thank you for your pledge on the very first day of the ONAMI Titanium Utility Knife campaign. We had a great launch, and the we are deeply appreciated in your early support. I want to sincerely thank each of you who has pledged so far. Your early support is what allows us to move this project forward, and it means a great deal to me.
Due to the positive momentum we’ve decided to extend the 24-hour Early Bird pricing for one additional day. This provides a bit more time for anyone still considering the project to secure the early bird rate before it transitions to the slightly higher rates.
We’ll continue to share updates throughout the campaign — including progress on any changes or suggestions we might receive, additional details about the knife.
Stretch Goals
Although we are a bit early into the funding progress, I have been thinking about offering a paracord pull as a stretch goal. Perhaps we can include one with the knife (most likely a simple black one) and offer the other colors as an ADD-ON?
Please share your thoughts in the comments; would this be something you would like? Would you also consider purchasing other colors as a low cost ADD-ON?
Thank you again for believing in the ONAMI Titanium Utility Knife. Your support is greatly valued.
