Anyone see those one armed Sebertechs that they sell at sears for $9.95?

Anywhere you can get them online?

Would look something like this ... except with a keychain thingy:

I picked up the i2 at a wallyworld closeout for $5. :D Wish I had snagged the other one they had, but just got 1.

The concept is pretty cool, and it is always on the car ring, but the lock is very difficult for me to close safely if I am in a hurry.
 
As I posted before I made this out of rusty micra I had:

It has all the tools the micra has except the tweezers & scissors. Most likely half the weight though. Problem is, it's a B|tch to get apart to make.
 
I have a Seber knife and it's a neat little gadget. I bought mine at Walmart for 7 bucks and it did well as a keychain blade. The best thing about it is the philips screwdriver. Very useful.

For a really small blade to put in a small survival kit (PSK) which would be the better choice, The Serbertech i2, or the Swiss-tech Utili-Key?

I have both, btw...just want opinions.:)

If you are into ultra-lightweight, strictly-for-emergencies gear, then go with the Utili-Key. If you want more daily convenience, and a bit more weight doesn't bother you, go for the Sebertech.
 
If weight is the ultimate consideration for a blade in a kit, than a 5 pack of Exacto replacement blades would weigh about what the utilikey does, and you would have some more options and possibilities, and it would be cheaper too. I had the Utilikey for a while, but it was just about impossible to use with gloves or cold hands. Opening and closing the Utilikey that is. Once open it was not that bad to use. The other consideration is that to use all of the drivers, you have to open the blade, unlike the I2.
 
I bought 4 of them at WalMart on close out and put 3 in my PSK's. I used one on vacation to start a fire with a ferro rod and it worked well. Neat little tool!
 
Thanks for the replies.:)

Right now I have settled on the Utili-Key, the reason being, when I tested the philips screwdrivers on my photon II, the finer point on the Utili-Key worked better. I wanted to be able to take apart the Photon, partly to be able to replace the batteries, but mostly to be able to wipe it out if it got soaked (from rain, or me doing an accidental swan dive).
 
Got my two Sebertech i2's ... if you are looking for the perfect lightweight add on to the keychain, these are perfect. With the photon II it feels like nothing added to the chain at all.

I however am going to have to stay with the added weight of that one armed micra I made and Arc AAA LE. Think those two will be EDC keymates from now on.
