Spyderco Non-Locking Knife with 1.23 CPM S30V Blade and Black Carbon Fiber Handle

Revised Content:

Introducing the Dog Tag Folder, a unique departure from Spyderco's typical folding knife construction. Based on one of Serge Panchenko's most popular custom designs, this non-locking knife features a single-sided handle crafted from solid titanium, accurately replicating the size and shape of a military dog tag.

The center of the handle scale is machined to create an integral bar that houses a steel ball bearing for the blade's detent mechanism. At the top of the handle, an aluminum back strap defines the blade's limits of travel in both the open and closed positions, offering protection from the edge when the knife is closed.

The "business end" of the Dog Tag is a sheepfoot-style blade made from premium CPM S30V particle metallurgy stainless steel with a stonewashed finish. 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.

The round hole in the blade allows for 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 accentuated by a round aluminum disk that provides stability, structural strength, and an aesthetic touch.

As 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 arm indexes holes in the tang of the blade to hold it both closed and open. Users should exercise caution during use, applying cutting pressure only in a direction that maintains the knife's open position.

Crafted in Taiwan, the Dog Tag Folder features a saber grind, a round hole, a 1.23" blade, and a 3.23" overall length. It's a unique and stylish addition to Spyderco's line of slip-joint knives.
