Among the oldest metal tools known to us in the present day is a copper awl found in Israel that is dated 5100-4600 B.C. This awl reveals insights into the life of the woman it was buried with to us in the year 2020, thousands of years past the survival of any written or oral history of her existence. 

Dogmeat Enigma was born from a prematurely cashed in retirement savings when a planned career in the U.S. Army was derailed by multiple cancer diagnoses. Focusing on durable metal goods that are unique and personify the original user, the aim is to deliver a functional product that delivers enjoyment for the original owner and subsequent generations of loved ones to come. Nonferrous metals are preferred for this reason, as they resist corrosion and will likely outlive the human race. 

Dogmeat Enigma original crafted items are meant for the individual that places a premium on expressing the uniqueness of their personal experience over finding deals on cheap mass-produced goods. Dogmeat Enigma products will never be found at a big box retailer.
