Mr. Atwood Has Done It Again!! Check Out The New Keyrambit On His Site. Its A Nasty Little Kerambit About The Size Of A Large Key, Hence The Name. I Just Got The Proto And It Went Right To Edc Status. Great Idea And Great Service From Mr. Atwood.
 
Thanks Doug! Glad you are liking it! :)

That's a knife so I'm moving this thread to Blade Discussion (which will give the Gadgets & Gear crowd's keyboards a chance to dry off while the guys in Blade Discussion are drooling on their keyboards).
 
Too small, But most of the atwood tools seem to be quite small. I would like it more if it had like a 2 inch reach or more, but then thats just me :) still, looks really nice :D

Quite the contrary, in my viewpoint. Smaller means easier to slip into your pocket and carry without a telltale buldge. Generally speaking, the smaller the better.

Around here, my Spyderco Dragonfly caused a bit of a stir when I used it to break down some heavy cardboard boxes. I like to fly under the radar. Way under.

Unfortunately, in this area, if you carry a Victorinox Classic on your keychain and actually use it from time to time, people will call you Rambo. And if you carry tools of any sort, they'll call you MacGuyver.

They simply don't carry anything like that. Cell phones, yes. PDA's, yes. SAKs, no.
 
Hey Peter...

All I can say is $#@&*%$ Cool!

I believe this to be a first!!

Let the Knockoffs Begin...

Sounds Like it sucks to live there. I feel sorry for you, mostly because living among so many f-ed up sheeple has modified your thinking and behavior to such extremes. Those people are freakin idiots, and you shouldnt care what they think. If people called me rambo because I used a pocketknife, I would feel an incredible urge to bitch slap them. Sorry if I am ranting, but that is so ridiculous!!!! :confused: :confused: :mad: :barf:

PS: I EDC a Swamp Rat Battle Rat with a Buck 110 in the aux. pouch.
 
That would be so handy on my key ring. I think the shape would lend itself so well to utlitly chores like opening boxes etc. And the ring will make it easy to hold onto. Very cool.
 
You guys are too kind! I'm just trying to have fun with this stuff ya know! :)

Here's what I'm doing with the KeyRambits.....small ones will have a 7/8" hole. The larger ones are scaled up and will have a 1 inch hole, actually slightly over so the folks with the big fingers will be able to play too. The one that Doug has is a 7/8" prototype and the final version is very similar but I made a few small changes.....

Also I ought to mention that there are two materials to choose from, textured S30v with a satin finish and anodized titanium! :D
 
wow i am REALLY digging what i'm seeing.
i will surely be ordering some of your products very soon,
for myself, my brother and my father.
keep it up!
 
Peter, dude, you have way too much time on your hands, I envy you. ;)

That is just too cool :cool: , now I gotta get one to keep the Damascus Keyknife company.

Any plans to do them in Damascus to compliment the Keyknife?

A little modification and it looks like it would also make a great bottle opener. :cool:
 
Arghhh....!

Must resist....!

No more cool stuff..... until 3 pay cheques later... Over-spending on toys.....

Stupid of me to open this thread....

It's actually a nice place to live. Crowded, developed, and congested, but nice. The area is suburban and very heavily developed. You can't throw a rock without hitting a stripmall or a fastfood joint. People simply don't think in terms of preparedness or survival. They think in terms of traffic jams and iPods. Kind of like LA, but without the lovely weather, the money, or the earthquakes.

We must remember this: The sheeple rule. I don't necessarily care what they think, but these days someone who is alarmed by what they see won't hesitate to call the police on their cell phone. If you're innocently opening a package in the parking lot with your pocketknife, someone who notices you, and who thinks all knives are bad, could drop a dime on you easily. Then you'll find yourself having to explain your actions to your local police officer, who is responding to call about a citizen with a knife. Not a pleasant situation. I simply avoid using such tools in public areas.

Ridiculous it may be, but the name-calling is not malicious, so I don't mind. People I know don't carry stuff themselves because they know I will have it.

Good $#$#$# Grief! What's this "preparedness or survival"? What about even just being able to accomplish your daily tasks in a reasonable way?

I work in a university, myself, (IT dept.) but it's nothing like that. Why, even just yesterday, I took my BM 705 to cut some stubborn tape and one of the other guys who I work with commented to the student intern who I was cutting it for that "If you're gonna work here, you gotta carry a knife."

I've never had any kind of "bad" comments from anybody I work with about knives. In fact, only once in all the 40 years or so that I've been carrying, has anyone ever made that kind of silly comment about the fact that I had a knife.

Man, you've definitely got the wrong sort of environment. Some of those folks need an education bad!
