Thanks to everyone for making the MARKSMITH ULTRAFINE Ti a success! I appreciate you all. If your pledge was properly processed, skip this next section. There are currently 68 backers with errored pledges who will miss out on their Marksmith if the payment method isn't updated/fixed. I wish I could send an update only to those backers, but there's no option, so here it goes.

How to Fix Errored Pledges

Something went wrong with your payment for the MARKSMITH ULTRAFINE Ti Kickstarter, and this is the final day to fix it if you want to receive it. The credit card on file with Kickstarter could not be processed. Please log back into Kickstarter to replace the card or retry the payment. You will likely need to contact your credit card company to OK the charge or use a different payment method.

Here's a video that shows how to fix your payment:

More details provided by Kickstarter:
Log in to Kickstarter and click the “Fix payment” button in the banner at the top of your screen. This will guide you through the process of changing or retrying your payment method.
It may not necessarily be the case that there’s a specific issue with your card, so much as that you’ll need to ask your bank why this charge in particular is being declined. You may also want to include the details of this transaction, such as:

- The charge being from Kickstarter.
- The amount pledged for the project.
- The date when Kickstarter attempted to collect your pledge. This was the date that the project you backed ended. If the project hasn't ended yet, you can use the date you attempted to pledge.
- Additionally, it may be helpful to request that your bank “whitelist” any charges from Kickstarter.

Once you’ve contacted your bank, feel free to log in to the Kickstarter account from which you pledged and click the “Fix Payment” button in the “Important Notifications” banner.

Please send a message if you have any further issues.
 
If paying through Kickstarter fails, you can always recover your order and pay through Backerkit.
 

PRODUCTION, BACKERKIT SURVEYS, SHIPPING

Backerkit surveys have been sent out to the "In Time For The Holidays" pledge level only so far, and we begin shipping those on Monday. 

The Backerkit surveys for the other pledge levels will be sent out at the end of January or the beginning of February when we are ready to ship the second batch. We are waiting for those surveys to ensure we have the most up-to-date shipping info.

During the Kickstarter, we started making the next batch of Marksmith UltraFine Ti, which should be completed in Jan/Feb and we'll begin shipping in February.

Adding a Custom Engraving
about 1 month ago – Fri, Nov 15, 2024 at 09:05:53 AM

Thank you all so much for making Marksmith Ultrafine Ti a success! I've had many questions about whether I will be offering custom engravings. The answer is YES! You can add a custom engraving in the Backerkit survey checkout. If you haven't used Backerkit before, don't worry; it's an easy way to add your shipping details and any additional add-ons you want, like a custom engraving.

Here's an example of a custom engraving from one of our beta testers, davepimentel:
