Keychain Knives?

I'd have to go with a Vic classic. I've had one n my keyring for years now, and it's done an amazing amount of stuff for such a small knife. The nice thing is that it gives you options that a regular knife does not. The sissors, small screwdriver tip on the nailfile, tweezers, give you the tools to cut, snip, deal with phillips screws, and pull splinters. The sissors really are sharp as hell, and cut a lot of materials well, including light plastic.

I also carry a P-38 on my keyring and a Sears 4-way keychain screwdriver. It's all of .99 cents at sears, and can deal with regular screws, or phillips if you use the smallest bit on it. Being one solid piece of steel, it can do small prying jobs.

For light, a small Princeton Tech pulsar 2 is one my keyring. It lights up a dark room, and has a run time of about 7 to 9 hours. For being the size of a quarter, it would be invaluble in a blackout building or metro tunnel.

I have the classic on a quick release hook so I can take it off my keyring in a second, to make it much easier to use.

i'm not sure which Spyderco i have. it's approximately one inch closed, handles are stainless, it has a lock for show (don't need it to close it), fully serrated blade, bought almost 20 years ago.

apparently, it's no longer available, because when my dad was carrying it, he showed it to a knife dealer who started offering all sorts of (expensive) stuff for trade.

i like it, but it's really only good for cutting tape on boxes and unlocking interior doors.

A Co-Pilot, perhaps? I had one and it was about that size. It used to be marketed as "airline friendly" (pre-911, obviously). It also made a nice money clip. Unfortunately it went on eBay along with my old titanium Special Police during a time of need.

+1 to that. The Classic is useful way beyond its size.

this makes me think it's not the same one. mine has no form of clip at all. i need to post up a pic and see who can identify it, for me.
 
Vic Signature Lite. It has a flashlight, a pen, scissors, knife and flathead screwdriver. It's kind of the perfect keychain tool.
