The Belt Chip

So, you were just awarded a new lockpicking belt on Discord. Congrats, truly! That's amazing.

But... don’t you wish you had something more than just a color change to your username to represent that? Don’t you want something in the real world to show off to your friends and serve as a pleasant reminder of the hard work you put in to become a better lockpicker?

The Belt Chip is meant precisely for this purpose. It’s something to proudly display to remind yourself and the world: Yes, I am a skilled lockpicker, and I’m proud of my accomplishments.

This is for the purchase of ONE belt chip only.

Design Details:

This chip was designed by, and attribution goes to, eschlenz of 44 Delta. It was created with the intent of properly capturing the moment of ranking up a belt in the form of a 39mm x 4mm collectible chip. Many, many, chips were made but only the best hand-picked specimens were selected for sale.

On the obverse face, you will find the colored belt highly contrasted against the background of the chip. Encircling the belt, you will find 9 torpedo key pins, specifically chosen as a nod to the 9 belts in the ranking system. The torpedo key pin was selected because it represents high-security locks and, in 44 Delta's opinion, is one of the coolest security pins out there.

On the reverse face, you will find a padlock with its body being cracked apart to represent your mastery of locks at this belt level. It is set against a tilted hexagon pattern in the background. This side is smooth, shiny, and has a holographic effect when angled in different directions under light.

Along the rim of the chip, you will find a thin colored band matching the belt rank color. This symbolizes your belt being tied around your waist.

Disclaimer:

You are doing yourself and the lockpicking community a disservice by purchasing and displaying a belt chip of a rank other than what you’ve rightfully accomplished. There's nothing wrong with buying chips of a higher rank as motivation to advance your lockpicking skills. Just don’t be that person who falsely represents their accomplishments. Besides, anyone can verify your true rank by simply checking with the community.

Dimensions: 39mm x 4mm
