Kershaw is coming out with a new keychain knife they just announced @ shotshow2020 called the Hub:

I've preordered one from BladeHQ. Looks pretty sweet kinda like the poor man's ZT0022 :D

Looks like a nice little knife to carry this way. I like the larger hole to attach it. I carry a Leatherman Ps4 Squirt on two keychains. I seldom use the little blade as I normally have another knife on me. No other key chain knives that I use.
 
I carry a Kershaw Cinder in copper - but I can't carry a knife on my keychain, as I feel having the keys there just get in the way when you need to cut something.

The Cinder is a great two-finger design, designed by Rick Hinderer, and it is really great at those clam packs made out of indestructible plastic; you can really control such a small blade.

Kershaw offers the knife in a glass-filled nylon version which I carried before they came out with the copper version. I would give the knife away all the time and get a new one - finally I just bought a bunch of them and gave them out new in package to people. You can get the nylon version for under $10. The blade steel is adequate for a little knife like this, and it's easy to get it sharpened back up when needed.

I rotate thru three on my keychains.
#1 (My current favorite) JE Made knives mini Zulu. Perfect size titanium scales and s35V single blade. (non-locking) until Spyderco does a run of titanium Manbugs or Ladybugs, This will be the knife on my keychain.
#2 For plain usefulness, it's hard to beat the vic classic.
#3 Spyderco Ladybug or Manbug. I've been wanting a ti version for years...maybe decades. Hope springs eternal.

Spyderco Bug. I attached it to my keyring with a Nite Ize S biner (One of the small plastic ones I got from HomeDepot). Attached with the S biner, I can easily detach the it if I need to.

Used to have a Christy on my key ring in high school. Unfortunately, I had it accidentally open a couple of times.
 
My favorite keychain-sized knife is my Victorinox Executive. Although I don’t like carrying a knife attached to my keys; I carry mine down in my pocket.

Best? Dunno. But what I carry... Ha, kidding. Of course these are the absolute best.

Leatherman Squirt Ps4. Amazing utility, fit, function for it's size.

Kershaw Cinder Cu. A bit heavy for it's size and utility, but looks great with my pocket copper AAA light and copper pill vial.

Spyderco Honey Bee (for cleaning and maintaining fingernails).
