Description

A 2″ iron dog tag on a key ring, hand-stamped with your text — the classic military tag shape, forged from solid iron instead of pressed from sheet metal. It has the weight you’d expect from a forged piece, and it holds up to pockets, tool bags, and daily keys.

Choose one side stamped or both sides stamped. One side is enough for a name, a phone number, or a date; two sides fit the front-and-back style most people picture with a tag. Buyers use them as ID tags, anniversary gifts (iron is the 6th anniversary material), and memorial tags.

Each tag is forged, stamped, and finished to order after you check out.

To personalize yours: leave the exact inscription in the order notes at checkout, spelled exactly as you want it stamped, and say which text goes on which side if you chose both sides. If you’re not sure it will fit, message us before ordering.

Specs: – Tag size: 2″ – Material: solid forged iron – Options: 1 side or 2 sides stamped – Made to order in our Durango, Colorado shop

Heirloom-Quality Finishes: Using only the highest-quality products, our finishes are both beautiful and durable, letting the craftsmanship of our handwork shine while standing up to high-traffic, moisture-prone areas like baths and appliance pulls. By combining zero-VOC undercoats with hardening wax, we create a richer, deeper finish than paint — one that can be reapplied at any time to restore its original luster. Unlike other coatings that chip or fade, this finish keeps surfaces looking their best. Tested hundreds of times over years, it’s proven to be the most durable and beautiful choice available.

Oil Blackened: Satin black with light touches of grey, this finish allows the texture and forge work to come through. Our black oxide process penetrates into the metal, actually changing the color of the iron itself. This results in a deep, rich satin black that adds depth and character to the piece.

Brushed Steel: This finish lies between a nickel/pewter hue with a satin sheen. It goes well with both modern and rustic decor. This is not a high shine, factory gloss kind of look. Some forge scale will be present which gives this finish a slightly antiqued / hand forged quality.

Brass Brushed: This finish is achieved by heating the piece and hand brushing using a solid brass bristle brush. The brass integrates with the steel creating a very durable and amazingly beautiful darkened brass/bronze coloration. The brush strokes are visible, contributing a visual texture to this timeless look.
