DogTag Folder Prototype (Relic DogTag Added)

[Serge Panchenko]

Hey everyone, finally finished this one, hope you guys like it! I plan on doing a batch of these in a bunch of different anodized colors The open length is 3 1/4", handle is 2" long and 1 1/8" wide, just like the real dogtags. Handle, pivot ring and backspacer are 6al4v titanium. The folder is set up with a ball detente to hold it open and closed, it's non-locking.

The Relic DogTag has a damascus blade, copper pivot ring and backspacer, and a mokume plate on the back.

Those are KOOL Serge!

The colors and patina on the blade look great.

That's superb, well done!

 

[SharpByCoop]

Does that mill ever stop giving you new ideas? Crazy.

So that detent works against the edge of the circle, not in a divot. More tension?

Count me in.

[Insipid Moniker]

That's really slick looking. Not something I would have thought I'd drool over, but the salivary glands are getting a workout.

 

[Serge Panchenko]

Thanks you guys! I'll keep you guys updated.

Bandaidman, weight is 0.94oz.

Jim, the detente is still on the flat, like a typical liner/framelock.

Serge this was a very brilliant piece of work. I think this is my favorite of yours so far. You put a lot of thinking into this as far as how it works as well as how it looks. Really great job man!

I will be very surprised if I don't see Panchenko designs heavily marketed through a major cutlery manufacturer some time over the next two years.
This is a home run for sure.

What he said. Serge, your knives are always cool, but his one is both practical and, perhaps most importanly, marketable. It's not hard to imagine demand for tens of thousands of those!

 

[jacksterp]

That is something else. One of the most unique and interesting pieces I've ever seen.
