Product Description
The Spyderco Dog Tag Folder C188CFBBKP, designed by custom knifemaker Serge Panchenko, is an exceptionally compact folding knife inspired by the size and shape of a military dog tag. Measuring just 3.23 inches overall and weighing 0.9 ounces, it is designed for discreet, lightweight carry.
Its 1.23-inch CPM S30V blade features a distinctive sheepfoot-style profile and a chisel grind with a single flat bevel. The black titanium carbonitride-coated blade and hardware give the knife a subdued appearance, while the Trademark Round Hole allows easy opening.
The handle is machined from carbon fiber/G-10 laminate and incorporates an integral spring bar with a steel ball-bearing detent. The detent holds the blade securely in the open or closed position, but this is a non-locking slipjoint design rather than a mechanically locking folder.

About brand
Quick! List the most respected and innovative knife companies you can think of. If you know anything about knives, Spyderco is somewhere near the top. Spyderco Inc. makes some of the most unique and downright bizarre knife designs you'll see on the market, but from the number of passionate fans discussing, debating, and learning everything they can about Spyderco knives, it's clear that the company has done something right.
From the Glesser Family and the Spyderco Crew:
Since starting Spyderco we've been told our knives are different, peculiar, even out there. All true. Thinking beyond established knife industry barriers allowed us to introduce new and radical innovations to the knife culture including: One-hand opening, serrations on a folder and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket.
We didn't go into business to rake in a mountain of dough we're here for more selfish reasons- indulging our passion for creating knives. Spyderco is definitely out of the norm in the knife industry in our dedication to researching and developing fresh, improved and better performing materials all with function and reliability being key.
Someone once said to Sal Glesser, Spyderco's owner, 'You must design in the dark because your knives look so strange.' True again. Our recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomic functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. We may look curious, homely, whatever, but we'll never be called unusable or undependable.
Making knives that consistently deliver reliable high-performance requires an ongoing commitment to testing. In our million-dollar testing facility we examine edge retention with a CATRA machine, look for rust development with Q-FOG, check the force needed to open and close a knife. We also repeatedly test for stress, wear, optimal heat-treating and actively search for higher quality, performance enhancing steels and materials.
As a customer you probably don't think about this, or much care, but it allows us to put forth a promise. When you purchase a Spyderco you are buying a high-quality reliable cutting tool designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort. Those Who Know Carry Spyderco.
