This is something my brother thought up well I was showing him a tanto blade I was designing. Anyways he drew me a rough picture of a ring that have a reverse blade on it, it interested me enough to the point I created a cad design of it and 3D modeled it.
Simply put I wonder what you guys think of it, is it a stupid idea/design, good idea/design, meh, or something that needs more work? Also note I know the concept is already a thing.

Heres the pictures of the model I made of it.

Description: A lightweight backup blade that is small enough to be attached to your key chain, thus it's a blade that you'll always have on you whenever you leave the house. Do to the small size of the blade and the fact it's a fixed blade, it can be legally carried practically anywhere. Thou do to it's design and small blade, if used as a weapon one would have pick there targets wisely.
 
I don't think it's anything I would want personally, but I think there would be those out there who would be interested in it. The sheath design would be very important in regards to retention. You don't want a blade rattling around loose in your pocket :eek:
 
I got the link working.
It LOOKS cool, but I dont think it's something that I would purchase.
