Keychain knives

[meliaant]

Hey folks...I know Spyderco has the ladybug & Byrd lines that have keychain knives, but does any other good company make keychain knives? Just curious...thanks!

Crawford has a small non locking keychain knife for like $25. I think AG Russell's ultimate pen knife (the non locking one) has a keychain loop. Benchmade has the benchmite II if you're looking for something that locks.

Boker has the Keycom which I've heard some very good things about.

Victorinox makes about 9 million classic's a year. Alot of people must be buying them.

benchmade benchmyte comes to mind.

The Victorinox Rally is a personal favorite. Keep that little blade razor sharp and it'll surprise you with how useful it is.

For me, the Vic Minichamp is close to perfect. I use mine daily- it's great. There are a ton of tools in that tiny little bugger.

I would go with a Keycom or a Utili-Key.

I have been wanting to purchase a Boker Keycom myself.

I've been carrying a Spyderco Baby Goddard (Model C20) on my keychain for over 10 years. Put a 'wanted' posting on the forums for a back-up a couple of years ago and scored another.
Note:there is now a new 'sprint run' of Goddard Jr.s in white micarta, but those are larger than the "Baby Goddards"

The blade on my keychain knife is ~1 1/2 in.

Regards,
Mike

My key chain knife is currently a Victorinox Cadet II. This knife is by far the best key chain knife I've had yet; a good way to go if your not looking for a lockback.

I've carried a Kershaw Baby Boa on a key chain. Must be kept locked or else the Speed-Safe opener can cause an ouch moment or worse!

My most often used knife is always on my keychain, the frequently praised Fallkniven U2. It's not too big or bulky but has a big enough blade to handle most things I need to cut throughout the day. With it's blade geometry and amazing edge holding ability it remains my favorite, even though it is cheaper than most of my knives. Another great keychain knife is the Spyderco Dragonfly, which is also a great slicer with excellent ergonomics.

For now a silver Alox Vic Farmer.

I've carried a Victorinox Signature lite

and a Leatherman Micra

On my keychain, although I find I generally prefer to keep my keychain light and just carry a regular pocket knife instead.

Keycom for the win!

Buck seemed to do a run this year of the Mini Buck. They're around $5-$10.

Anyone of the 74 mm Vics work great fo keychain carry (for me anyway). The Classic, Mini-Champ, Rogue all are surprisingly useful despite size.
