Serge Dog Tag + some other siblings
Serge Dog Tag + some other siblings
I've been on a Serge kick as of lately. Kind of a micro-collection of curious backup EDC knives. Sorry the angle is a bit off .
Spyderco will always be my go-to pick for folding cutting tools. You can only process so much stuff with 1" blades :p and honestly the edge that Spyderco puts on factory knives is 99% guaranteed to be scary sharp. These are certainly different though and appeal to the art lover in me. Not having to fumble with a lock also makes for easy package opening.
Top to bottom:
Kiradashi (1080 antiqued, Ti, detent ball)
Spyderco Dog Tag (S30v, Ti & Alum, detent ball)
Key Cutter (1095, Copper, no detent ball/rubber band & friction)
Midtech Thorn (154cm, Brass, friction folder)
Midtech Coin Claw (154cm/Ti, detent ball)
PS: The edge on the Dog Tag is the sharpest. :spyder:

Re: Serge Dog Tag + some other siblings
Nice! I was actually just looking at sergeknives yesterday, trying to justify the Coin Claw! I also really like the Thorn. I'm liking the black Dog Tag a lot.
Re: Serge Dog Tag + some other siblings
Very cool :)!
The Coin Claw wasnt nearly as sharp as the Spyderco Dog Tag. Maybe just my specific knife and something you can certainly fix. It opens things quite nice and makes a really cool pendant.
He's currently doing some anodizing work on the Coin Claws so you can buy a raw one or wait. After that he said he was going to do a run of like 50 customs. If I had to guess prob in that $350-400 range. Then again, having a mid-tech modded would be quick and cheap(er).

Re: Serge Dog Tag + some other siblings
I just got a black dog tag. I'm trying to figure out how to carry it. I'm not a fan of necklaces or putting it around my neck. Any suggestions?
Current favorite: Manix 2 with carbon fiber scales and cru-ware.

Re: Serge Dog Tag + some other siblings
Thanks bud :D. I'm tempted to send it and the coin out for an anod job someplace. Brown back scale and pivot. Any recommendations on who does that kind of work?senorsquare wrote:That's a nice lineup blerv. I really like that dashi.

Re: Serge Dog Tag + some other siblings
The dog tag looks too "polished" next to those pieces. I like the grittiness of the other knives.

Re: Serge Dog Tag + some other siblings
Thanks for the pictures Blerv. It is a very nice collection. I've looked at Serge's work but never quite knew the scale of his knives until now. Seeing them next to the Dogtag really helps. I like the little friction folder a lot. :)
Re: Serge Dog Tag + some other siblings
That little Copper Key Cutter is slick. Looks like a tool that a Jawa would use. :)

I'd love to see a coin claw Spyderco knife.
Re: Serge Dog Tag + some other siblings
Yea same here. Only problem would be the hole opener. The blade is extremely small so if they put a hole there it would simply for trademark purposes.RJNC wrote:I'd love to see a coin claw Spyderco knife.

We generally don't make production versions of Mid-Tech knives. Mid Techs are really very close to production knives and we'd be in competition.
