Button Lock ![While not quite as strong as lockback or crossbar lock mechanisms, button locks are comparable in strength to pocket knives with frame locks or liner locks. In practice, a button lock knife is strong enough to handle any challenge you'd reasonably expect to face with a pocket knife. A button lock is a folding knife with a push button that allows the blade to lock into place and not move until the button is then pressed again. When the button is pressed on button lock pocket knives, the lock is released allowing the blade to deploy. When compared to a liner lock, a button lock is easier and quicker to disengage. A liner lock is a side-spring lock and, much like the button lock and the frame lock, can be opened and closed with just one hand. When it comes to the frame lock, the lock is built into the handle with no extra parts which tends to lead to simpler and cleaner designs. A button lock mechanism is as strong as the knife’s frame. Because the button lock’s spring rests on a cutout in the blade’s frame, tension is created when the tang of the knife pushes against the button, which is embedded into the frame. Button lock knives are so popular because they are exceptionally smooth and lightweight. There tends to be less steel used on a button lock than on other lock styles, which helps keep the weight down. It also allows for the blade to glide smoothly without any obstacles. These knives are extremely fidget friendly, which is a huge factor in their popularity. You can open them using the opener, such as the flipper tab or thumb studs, but you can also open these knives by pressing the button down and flicking your wrist, as we mentioned before. You could spend hours opening and closing you button lock knife.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Titanium ![Titanium metal is a very durable metal for engineering applications because this metal is corrosion-resistant and also this metal is very strong and very light. It is 40% lighter than steel but as strong as high-strength steel. The biggest pro for titanium knives is that they are more corrosion resistant than steel. This is especially useful for divers, who will carry the knife of long periods of time in highly corrosive ocean water. Another pro is that titanium is lighter than steel. Reducing weight can help reduce strain during knife use. As the ninth-most abundant element in the Earth's crust, titanium is relatively rare. Research shows the strong and lightweight metal only accounts for roughly 0.63% of the Earth's crust. Titanium is obtained from various ores that occur naturally on the earth. The primary ores used for titanium production include ilmenite, leucoxene, and rutile. Other notable sources include anatase, perovskite, and sphene. Ilmenite and leucoxene are titaniferous ores.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

John Kubasek ![American knifemaker John Kubasek from Massachusetts has been making his own knives since 1988 and was able to draw on his many years of experience in the knife industry at that time. After designing fixed blades in the first years of his self-employment, he focused on innovative pocket knives with unusual mechanisms and shapes later. He is a member of the American Knifemakers Guild and internationally known for his creative designs such as the Credit Card Knife or the practical Dog Tag Knife.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Description:
John Kubasek is already known to many as the designer of the successful Credit Card Knife. John Kubasek has now taken the "Backup Knife" topic one step further and presents the 24 gram light-weight Dog Tag Knife. Like its namesake, it is carried around the neck on a ball chain and boasts a thickness of less than 4 mm when retracted (measured without blade pivot point). The chisel grind (single-sided blade grind) provides maximum carrying and operating safety by contacting the titanium liner as closely as possible with the flat backside of the edge.
A clever magnetic mechanism also secures the blade in the retracted and deployed state; in each case, the action is strictly accomplished with magnetic force, but with a true locking mechanism instead. As a result, accidental deployment is eliminated even when engaged in active/dynamic activities. The back side of the titanium liner is ideally suited for laser engraving of the name, nickname, medical data, etc. Shipped with ball chain and carabiner.
