Hey Backer,
It’s Kendell over at TiCarry.
Back in 2016 we launched the very first version of the Titanium Toothpick.
Its been so popular we haven’t been able to keep it in stock! As soon as we get inventory we sell out within a month or two..
(Our machinists can’t keep up with the demand!)
— Don’t worry we let them sleep a full night, and give them plenty of breaks (QA is very important to us!)
Over the past 4 years we’ve launched multiple versions in different sizes, with an assortment of different improvements. (Some of which were recommendations from our very own backers!)
We’ve taken all these recommendations, and what we’ve learned from our other toothpicks and we are putting together what we think is the best toothpick we’ve ever produced!
After 4 years of refinement we are super excited to announce..
The TiPick 2.0™ is precision CNC machined from solid billets of Grade 5 Titanium.

Now, before I talk about the Rewards for this project..
I think it’s important you understand the experience you will receive by supporting my Kickstarter campaign. Here are just a few messages and comments we have received over the years.
Ok.. Let’s talk about rewards…
In order for me to get the TiPick 2.0 into your sweaty palms… is by ensuring I can get my minimum quantity produced.
The actual cost for me to produce each toothpick is pretty high for these reasons:
1. The Quality of Material I use (The Very Best)
2. The time it takes to build each one of these little suckers (Very Time Intensive)
3. Current lack of quality machinists available (I only hire the best of the best)
But here’s why it get’s good for you:
Me and the team have put together some EXCLUSIVE Kickstarter rewards.
Take a look and decide which rewards work best for you.
Once you’ve decided on the reward you want.. just scroll to the top of this page and click on the corresponding Reward you desire.
This will “lock in” this EXCLUSIVE pricing, RIGHT NOW.
One more thing I wanted to mention:
Backing this project is the ONLY way you will be able to guarantee this exclusive pricing for the TiPick 2.0
P.S. TiPick 2.0 will retail for $39.99. (After Kickstarter).
To products that last a lifetime,
Kendell
We take pride in ALL the products that we create and sell. The TiPick 2.0 is no exception to that rule either.
If you are not satisfied with the TiPick 2.0 for any reason, we have a 100% money back guarantee.
The TiPick 2.0 also has a lifetime guarantee, if for any reason you break your toothpick, we will replace it no questions asked!
(Like we’ve said before..just don’t lose it..that’s not covered!
So who cares.. And why is this so great..
Well for starters the process for any titanium based alloy product to be made is extremely detailed. The process starts with a process known as the Kroll Process. During this process the main ore is treated with a gas called chlorine gas in order to produce titanium tetrachloride. This is then taken through a process of purification, and is then reduced into a metallic titanium sponge which happens from a reaction with sodium. After this the alloying process takes place to the titanium sponge. This process is very labor intensive and this is why titanium products are always more expensive to the “lesser metals” like steel and aluminum.
The TiPick 2.0 isn’t just a toothpick. It’s a multi-use pick that can be used for a truck-load more than just cleaning your teeth.
This is what I mean (Not to be combined with cleaning your teeth unless otherwise sanitized first!):
-Dental cleaning
-Finger nail cleaning
-letter opening
-crevasse cleaning
-package opening
-sliver removal
-….AND MANY MANY MORE!
April – May: Campaign
May: Receive Funds, Start Manufacturing
Early July: Start distribution of products
July: Backers Receive Rewards
Some of the biggest risks involved with this project are getting the product to our backers on time. Depending upon backer support, manufacturing and shipping time could increase. No matter what, we will do everything possible so our backers get the rewards. The reason we are using Kickstarter is because we have finally finished prototyping of our product. We are now ready to produce this on a larger scale, and get it to our customers. We looked at other outlets, but we strongly feel this product could be far more successful as it gains momentum from Kickstarter.
