Steel Dog Tag

Stainless steel, cut to the military tag shape, just over an inch long and a shade over half an inch wide. It is thin, flat and hard to scratch, which is the point of steel: it can be worn every day, under a shirt, through work, without needing much care. It hangs from a chain.

The face is plain and made to be engraved, so a name, two dates, a service number or a short line all sit well on it. Steel takes a laser mark cleanly and the contrast holds over years of wear. No capacity is listed for this piece, so if you need it to hold a portion of ashes rather than carry an inscription, check with us before ordering.

• Worn on a chain; steel resists tarnish and daily handling
• A sixteenth of an inch thick, so it lies flat and will not catch under a shirt collar
• Roughly 1.2 by 0.6 inches, the standard military tag footprint
