The brainchild of custom knifemaker Serge Panchenko, the Dog Tag Folder and its variations have earned a devoted following among Spyderco fans. Panchenko's fourth-generation version of this unique non-locking cutting tool revolutionizes the design with twin, matte-finished aluminum handle scales and a double-beveled blade ground from American made CTS BD1 stainless steel. A spring bar and ball-bearing detent in the larger scale help keep the blade in the open and closed positions, but do not mechanically lick it. Like its predecessors, this remarkably compact cutting tool replicates the look and shape of a dog tag, but with the benefit of an enhanced grip, improved edge geometry, and even better protection of the cutting edge in the closed position.
- Anodized Aluminum Handle: Subjecting aluminum to electrolytic action, coating the aluminum with a protective and decorative film.
- Flat Saber Grind: This knife features a blade ground with flat bevels that extend from the centerline of the blade to the cutting edge. This grind maintains full thickness through a larger portion of the blade for increased strength.
- PlainEdge Blade: This knife has a sharpened blade with no serrations or teeth sometimes referred to as a smooth blade.
- Slip Joint System: A non-locking mechanism in which the blade is held open by spring pressure on a flat section on the back of the blades tang.
- Specifications: Closed Length (Inches): 2.03, Overall Length (Inches): 3.22, Blade Length (Inches):1.19, Blade Steel: CTS BD1, Grind: Saber
