Update #25: $40 GROUP HAS SHIPPED!
That's right folks, the last group ($40 aluminum) has shipped! All orders are out the door! Hopefully everyone's addresses were correct and their packages arrive intact. We only had three people not supply us with an address and we are trying to track them down so that they can get their pens.
What a ride. We sold 20 times the amount of pens that we had originally thought we would. We are so grateful for all of you backers and all the support and encouragement along the way. This also would never have happened without Kickstarter, thanks to them as well. We would also like to thank Brad Dowdy over at Pen Addict for his kind words about our project. We would also like to thank Jake Parker, who also just completed an awesome Kickstarter project ,by the way, for his excellent review as well.
Don't worry folks, you haven't heard the last from us, so stay tuned...
Update #24: $70 Pledge Level Shipped
We just finished boxing up all the orders for the $70 (two aluminum) pledge level. We are now getting started on the last and final group- the $40 level. If all goes according to plan, we should be able to get them all boxed up and shipped out this week. Yay!

So excited to get the pen I ordered for a Christmas gift for my girlfriend. Too bad she's already moved to Korea, 4 months after the pen was supposed to be here.

All of the $80 (#1 Combo, 1 brass, 1 aluminum) and $100 (3 aluminum) are headed out the door! The last few boxes are waiting for pickup (I think our letter carrier hates us, ha!)
Only two more pledge levels left.
Almost there!

Got mine yesterday. They are really nice looking, and I love the heaviness of the brass... Now I just gotta get some refills so I can use them! (Clearly didn't plan ahead...)

Update #22: $240 and $160 Pledge Levels- Shipped
Because of a last minute rush, we were able to put together some more pens and ship out a couple of the smaller pledge levels. Hopefully the parts keep coming and we can continue push these out the door. We are getting closer!

I'm on the $100 level! I'm so excited! +1 one the above comments, I think Kickstarter should make people read through all your updates before they start up their own project! You guys have been phenomenal! Thank you thank you thank you for your honesty and transparency!

We make it... Out of metal.
At KarasKustoms, we do one thing; manufacture high quality, hand crafted products, and, we do it here in the USA. Since the beginning, our goal has been to use our collective experiences to bring unique, trendsetting products to market. We have backgrounds in everything from machining, tool and die work, fabrication, automotive repair and restoration, to product design and development. These skill sets allow us to find a market need and to make a quality, well designed product to fill that need. Because we make what we sell, we are able to control everything from product development to manufacturing, and do it all under one roof. We love what we do, and we hope it shows.
Got mine this week. Thanks guys! Brass pen kicks butt!
Got mine today. Can't wait to get home and start writing
I'm happy to say that my pen body arrived today and its beautiful! I'm sad to say it had a small scuff/scratch on it right out of the box. All in all it is a GREAT pen, lightweight, beautiful craft, very comfortable in hand, i WILL be recommending this pen to everyone who sees me write with it, and that's a lot of people. I commend the folks at Karas Kustoms for their quality product.
