File Dog Tag: EDC File Tool
The File Dog Tag is a compact EDC file tool built into the same size and shape as a standard military dog tag. It functions as a keychain nail file, light metal file, and general-purpose small file for everyday tasks where a full-sized tool makes no sense.
This is a one-piece stainless steel tool with no moving parts, designed to be carried daily as a dog tag file, necklace tool, or keychain accessory. It is always accessible, lightweight, and simple enough to use without setup.
Why the File Dog Tag Exists
Most people eventually need a file, but almost no one carries one. The File Dog Tag exists to solve that problem without adding bulk, weight, or complexity.
It was built for:
Grooming tasks like nails and rough skin
Smoothing sharp edges on plastic, wood, or soft metal
Small field fixes where precision matters more than power
Because it is dog tag sized, it works naturally as a keychain file tool or necklace, meaning it stays with you instead of living in a toolbox you do not have.
File Dog Tag Construction and Filing Surfaces
The File Dog Tag is made from stainless steel and features a cut filing surface suitable for light to moderate filing tasks. It is not a disposable strip or coated surface. The file is part of the steel itself.
Use cases include:
Nail filing and edge cleanup
Light wood shaping and smoothing
Plastic trimming and deburring
Soft metal edge touch-ups
This tool is designed as a small metal file tool for control and accessibility, not aggressive material removal.
File Dog Tag Carry Options: Necklace, Keychain, or Kit
Dog tag tools are versatile by design. The File Dog Tag can be carried in several ways depending on your setup:
As a dog tag necklace using a ball chain
As a keychain nail file on keys or bags
Inside small kits or tins as a flat utility tool
Because of its size and shape, many users treat dog tag tools as keychains rather than jewelry. This makes the File Dog Tag especially useful as a keychain file tool that does not feel out of place.
