Small Size: 8x lighter and 4x thinner than a standard utility knife makes it easy to put in your pocket or attach to your keychain
Quick and Secure Blade Swaps: Innovative design allows for 5 second tool-free blade swap while keeping your blade secure
Quality: Precisely machined from grade-5 titanium creates the premium tool our customers expect
Magnetic: Stick to your fridge or tool box for easy access for your weekend projects and daily deliveries
With the constant flow of work and personal deliveries, I’ve been on the hunt for a sleek, safe, and pocket-friendly tool that combines functionality with aesthetics. I’m thrilled to be back with my 8th crowdfunding campaign to introduce the GhostTi multitool.
Weighing less than an ounce, this ultra-thin utility knife is designed for convenience, offering 5 second tool-free blade swaps and dual locking mechanisms for ultimate safety. GhostTi can cut through tough materials, fits easily in your pocket, and is magnetic for easy storage. Not just a blade, it's an essential piece of your daily carry, balancing strength, portability and safety. Backed by our proven track record of 7 successful crowdfunding campaigns, we’re confident GhostTi will quickly become an essential part of your daily carry.
One-handed, smooth opening and closing enable quick deployment and retraction of the blade.
As a father, safety is a priority. The GhostTi is designed with both a mechanical and magnetic lock, ensuring the blade stays securely stored until needed. Even with the mechanical lock released, the magnet holds the blade in place, even when held vertically and shaken.
GhostTi is precision-machined from a single block of aerospace-grade Grade 5 titanium, with every detail—blade rails, locks, and more—carefully crafted. The process involves machining each side for a flawless finish. This intricate engineering makes GhostTi more than a tool—it's a functional work of art.
Front and back blade rails suspend the blade with minimal contact, ensuring that even a blade with tape residue fits back into the tool frame properly.
With two blade locking positions, you can select the cutting depth that best suits your task.
Extremely thin and lightweight at only 0.22 x 0.97 x 2.62 in (0.6 x 2.5 x 6.7 cm) and 0.7oz (19g) with the blade installed.
Easily cuts paper, tape, cardboard, leather, that pesky tape with the string inside of it, plastic and more!
GhostTi's tool-free blade makes it the ultimate choice for on-the-go use. When the blade is removed, GhostTi is TSA compliant. Simply replace it with any standard blade when you return home.
GhostTi was designed and tested to work with all standard utility blades from your local hardware store. No special blades required.
The back box ripper can be used for opening of standard plastic and paper tapes when the blade is not required.
For cutting cords while on the go without needed to deploy the blade.
At under 0.25" (0.6 cm) thick, GhostTi easily fits in your pocket, key ring or with the built in magnet it can be mounted on a fridge, toolbox or any magnetic surface always being ready for when you need it.
Please take a look at YouTube reviews below, each offering a unique perspective on the GhostTi multitool. I truly appreciate the time they took to cover all aspects of this tool. Be sure to visit their channels to subscribe (hit that bell too) and explore their other amazing content!
Machined from grade 5 titanium this bead paired with the 550 paracord lanyard makes accessing your GhostTi from full or deep pockets a little easier while also giving you a little extra grip when cutting those heavier materials.
The GhostTi is compact yet packed with features and details, engineered to be your perfect on-the-go tool.

Bit of a long winded section here but we know that there are certain concerns around transparency, communication, and delivering on crowdfunding campaigns. We think it is important to share some reviews we have received in the past to further emphasize the importance we place on keeping our backers updated. You are putting your monetary trust in us and it is our goal to make sure that you know exactly where we are in the delivery process.
“This has been the most professional IGG campaign I’ve participated in. Thanks for doing it right!” - Josh G.
I’ve backed nearly a hundred crowdfunded campaigns over the last six years and this is, by far, the best-run one I’ve backed. I wish that some of the radio-silent creators I’m still waiting on would take to heart Brian’s approach to communicating what’s going on, as in update #9. (And, of course, that things appear to be going really well doesn’t hurt matters… ;)” – Andy D.
“Reordered. Just wanted to let you know, I’ve contributed to over 10 Indiegogo campaigns. You were by far the best in terms of communication and project management.” – Mike P.
“Not only a great product you are providing, but also formidable campaign management. I encouraged everyone I know with interest in such tools to support the campaign. Again, thank you very much for such a great tool.” – Manuel T.
“This is staying on my key ring forever! Overall this has been the BEST run campaigns on Indiegogo. Brian is simply fantastic! He’s the gold standard for developers and campaigners. There are many who could learn from him.” – Anand J.
“The quality of this tool is very nice and it will definitely fit in well with my EDC. Thanks for showing good production, operation and delivery standards.” – John W.
"You are the exemplar in how to run an Indiegogo campaign. If the ratchets arrive on time [it did], this will restore my faith on crowdfunding. Great communication, very professional!” – Theray W.
On our previously funded campaigns, we have started shipped anywhere from On Time to 1.5 weeks ahead of schedule. We make our timelines honest, transparent, and realistic to ensure that we deliver on our promises. We provide extremely clear and concise updates throughout the entire manufacturing process to ensure that you are aware of what is going on behind the scenes. We understand the investment and trust you have made by backing us and believe that you should be involved in the process along the way. Please see previous section about our campaign management, communication and delivery standards.

PRODUCTION UPDATES (please see latest updates for full details):
First 100x Units: We have received our first 100x production-intent units, and there are no changes needed. They look amazing, and it's exciting to see them in larger quantities. Production will continue as planned.
Packaging: In a previous update, we mentioned that one of the four packing trays was complete. The lamination process, where I laser-cut each 1/8" sheet and glued them together, went smoothly for the remaining trays. It's great to know I can produce these in-house for future products.
One packaging tray is fully assembled and ready for use (see image below), while the other three are currently drying and awaiting the application of the red foam (one is visible on the left in the image). These trays hold the product, plastic, and tool in place while a hot plate applies pressure and activates an adhesive already on the cards. Once sealed, the packages move onto a cooling conveyor belt (seen on the right), then drop into a bin, ready for me to pack.
Lasered-on Graphics: The tool's graphics are applied using our laser. First, we spray the parts with laser spray (as shown in a previous update), then laser them, and finally wash off the excess spray, leaving behind a durable graphic. This is the same process we've used for all our other products, so no changes here. Below is a new fixture I made to hold the tools. Two cantilever springs ensure the tool is aligned to the lower right corner of the opening, allowing the graphics to be applied consistently.
