The Kickstarter funding period ran from **March 18 to April 17**. The campaign records **£15,685 pledged by 136 backers** against a £1,000 goal. That is funding for a maker’s production run, rather than retail revenue or evidence that rewards have shipped. ## Three models, two lead diameters The campaign specifies **29 g** for the 2 mm brass model, **30 g** for the 2 mm copper version and **58 g** for the 5.6 mm model. The larger pencil also incorporates a lead sharpener in its button. Those are campaign specifications, not measurements from a Knockology test. ![The maker’s 5.6 mm copper clutch pencil, shown in a current product photograph.

[Original source](https://nicholashemingway.com/product/5-6mm-copper-clutch-pencil-nicholas-hemingway/?ref=news.knockology.com) Hemingway describes the range as made and hand-finished in his London studio. The raw copper and brass are intended to develop a patina with use. The 2 mm models address finer drawing and drafting, while the 5.6 mm version provides a broader core for shading. ## What the campaign offered Individual early-bird rewards were **£59**, with standard individual rewards at **£69** and a three-pencil set at **£156**. These are closed campaign pledge levels, not current retail offers or delivered prices. The reward cards gave **July 2026** as estimated delivery. For a workshop business, the campaign ties a defined set of tools to an identifiable production commitment. The next milestone is fulfillment; the amount pledged does not settle that part of the story.
