I just bought a Kershaw Two Can at the local knife show over the weekend about $20 neat little knife/keyring/scissors, but dangerously sharp and pointy.
It's a handy pair of scissors on a keyring that also can be used as a slipjoint folder.
The blades are chisel ground as scissors need to be but for opening mail or trimming tape, thread or paper(it cut 16 sheets of paper in one cut) it works great, as a knife it's almost as good as the knife blade on the Leatherman Micra.
For the $, a worthwhile investment but beware of the pointy part, 'cause it got me(see pics below) I was trimming the matted hair on our dog when the dog turned and pulled while I was holding the fur and about to cut.
Wound up sticking the blade into the upper fleshy part of my thumb
(bled like a stuck pig for over an hour and a half), got cleaned up and was glued with cloth butterflys and sent on my way, ouch.
Call me knutz, I want another one.
