The concept is simple. Taking the best elements from the original GearPull and the Mini-D, I've created a 3rd (and final) generation product with a slimmer profile, better price point, and improved tensile properties. The VolksDangler is the peoples' dangler. Just attach keys and/or pocket gear and use the VolksDangler to suspend everything in your pocket or bag. You can now access all your gear in a split second without having to search for it. The "deluxe" models come with 5 premium clips which the Volksdangler has been designed to accommodate.

When you choose to back this campaign you join an intrepid group of like-minded people who will be the first to experience the VolksDangler....but your reward is only half the story. Thanks to your faith and support, independent makers like myself can subvert the corporate model. Every backer helps to usher in a new form of commerce that brings the power directly to the consumer, and permits makers to set their own terms and succeed on their own merit.

In addition to having my deep gratitude and respect, here is what you have to choose from in return for backing my project. It's fine if you want multiple rewards, read how in the FAQ at he bottom of this page.

Glow slot enhancement is available for Rewards 1, 2, 3 & 4 as an "ADD ON" for an additional $14. Adjust your pledge accordingly if you want green or blue glow.

Material:

Titanium : Titanium is a sought after material for EDC gear because of its startling strength to weight ratio. The finish on these is an even and consistent satin grey with low gloss highlights.

Stealth Finish : All Stealth units are flat "Armor Black" Cerakote over titanium. This is an extremely durable, premium finish mostly used for firearms and is well suited to the rigors of pocket carry. Though it will never fade, peel or flake, it will slowly wear at the high points over time. All of the Cerakote is done by Jeff Forbush. Google "4bushwrs" if you want to learn more about his services.

Mokume gane : In these examples of this exotic material, copper and nickle-silver are heated, laminated and forged to create beautiful patterns resembling wood grain or cloud formations. Each piece is as unique as a fingerprint. The copper will patina as you carry it, enhancing the contrast. That alchemical process is part of what makes Mokume such a pleasure to possess over time. All the Mokume blanks are fabricated by Mike Sakmar. Google "Sakmar Enterprises" if you want to learn more about his services.

Glow Slots: These are available as an "add on", if you want a glow slot installed you must increase your base pledge amount by $14. An extra slot is cut in the toe of the VolksDangler and carefully filled flush by hand. Choose from either "Ultra Green" which is brighter and glows for 24 hrs., or "Ultra Blue" which glows for 9hrs. Both require just 10 minutes of charging.



Your Support is Critical:

If you like my work please share this campaign on your preferred social network, or even just share a link with one friend you think may be interested. The best major social platform you can use to help promote the VolksDangler is Instagram, please consider posting this campaign on your feed, and follow @gamblemade for real time updates from my shop. I'll be working to capacity every day while the campaign is live to get the word out, so any promotional support you may be inspired to provide would be deeply appreciated.

All proceeds will go into fulfilling the promises of this campaign first, and then into purchasing a surplus of parts from my suppliers and collaborators so I can keep it all going after the rewards have been fulfilled. Another portion will be funneled back into research and development.

Each Mokume VolksDangler is as unique as a fingerprint.

Shipping & Delivery:

Your VolksDangler will be shipped according to the schedule detailed in the rewards summary on the right of your screen. Basically, you will have yours in hand no later than Nov 31st, 2015. Fulfillment takes as long as it does because I personally grind and form every dangler. In my past two campaigns every shipping deadline was met, and I'm prepared to do it again. Backers of this campaign will be the first to experience The VolksDangler, as they will not be for sale to the general public until every reward has been fulfilled. US backers get theirs delivered free of charge via 1st class parcel post with delivery confirmation; international shipments only cost $8, and go out via international parcel. Shipping to Canada is $7.
