Small nail file

[cardimon]

I'm looking for a personal stainless steel or ceramic EDC nail file (without integrated nail clippers) that is small enough to be kept either on your keyring, in your wallet, or in your pocket, perhaps in a case of some sort. Any ideas?

How about a GI keyring sharpening stone? It's a finer grit than a nail file, but it works if you're not in a hurry.

Where do you get those coug?

I got mine at a local army surplus store, but they also have a website: https://www.drop-zone.com/

Gerber's Sportsman Sharpener:

or these in the wallet from DMT would work:

I use my leatherman keyman (on the keychain):

How about the tiny classic swiss army knife? I use the nail file on mine often.

What's the keyman? Looks like a perfect size.

Take apart a Leatherman micra ... put all the blades on one handle except for the tweezer. Screw back together.

Very good file on this one:

Now I gotta make one.

Put one of those 80lbs fishing spinners on it so you can turn it on your keychain freely.

That would work just fine, as would the file on my Midnite MiniChamp II or Executive. The thing is, I'm looking for a nail file that would live PERMANENTLY on my keyring, and not have to be removed for either jury duty or airport security. I forgot to mention this when I first posted. I was typing too bloody fast.

I also found them here: G.I. Key Ring Sharpening Stone.

The nail file out of a SwissCard should work quite well.
