Looking for dog tag chain

Tanguay Custom Knives · Oct 4, 2006

For you guys that make neck knives, where do you get your dog tag chain? I checked a few knifemaking supply places, and couldn't locate any. Lots on the web in bulk, but I don't need 170 feet of the stuff, plus I need the connector end.

I need them to be around 36" with the connector attached already.

Thanks,
Scott

Found the answer to my own question. For anyone else who might be interested: McMaster Carr. Everything you need. Search under ball chain.

Just for the record Scott I have found # 6 S.S. Ball Chain from McMaster is about the perfect size for neckers. That is what I use anyway JMHO

Check the hardware store, usually with the lighting/ceiling fans.

I found the ball chain at our local Orchard Hardware (by the bulk rope and chain, ask a sales person) and at Lowe's.
