Dog Tag Folder - TiCN / Carbon Fiber
Based on one of Serge Panchenko’s most popular custom designs, the Dog Tag Folder is a unique departure from Spyderco’s typical folding knife construction methods. Its single-sided handle is machined from durable and visually striking carbon fiber/G-10 laminate and accurately replicates the size and shape of a military dog tag. The center of the handle scale is an inlaid stainless steel spring in the handle provides tension for the detent mechanism, which keeps the blade fully opened or closed, but does not lock it.
The “business end” of the Dog Tag is a sheepfoot-style blade made from premium CPM S30V particle metallurgy stainless steel with a non-reflective black titanium carbonitride coating. To protect the edge when closed, the blade is chisel ground with a single flat bevel on the front side—an unusual feature for a Spyderco knife. Our Trademark Round Hole in the blade allows easy opening, and a subtle swedge (unsharpened bevel) and a decorative fuller (groove) near the spine add a touch of style. The blade’s pivot is also accentuated by a round aluminum disk that provides stability and structural strength as well as an aesthetic touch.
A non-locking folder, the Dog Tag’s blade is held in place in the open position by a detent mechanism. A ball bearing in the handle scale’s integral spring arm indexes holes in the tang of the blade to hold it both closed and open. Since the blade does not lock, care should be taken during use to apply cutting pressure only in a direction that maintains the knife’s open position.
