Smallest knife I've ever seen!!!

Yep, they are out there, folks!
Mine just arrived via USPS this morning.

As for the knife...
Decent sharpness out of the (flattened by USPS) box; it won't cut hairs. They look to be built well enough to last a good long while on a heavy use keychain, but I do notice that one of the screws on mine wasn't set quite right and didn't actually screw into the far side handle. Looks to be a T-3 Torx... which is a shame because I only have T-4 and up. But hey, it's free... can't complain too much, right?

...and so far as I am concerned, a second split ring is a must.


But yea, I've got to agree with Southern Cross, it's hard to beat the Utili-Key. I just wish they made a full plain edge version; those serrations are terrible! :barf:

I have you beat...I have the knife that came with my GI Joe Storm Shadow back in '84! Sweet. I've been fighting the urge to get one of those stilletto switchblade keychains. Of allt he knives in my collection...none get more use than the little Utilikey that came in the package with a Swiss Tech multi-tool I got for Christmas years ago. Its opened countless letters...boxes...carved my name a few times...cut some rope...taken apart cell phones...pagers...unscrewed countless screws...you name it...this luttle bugger is useful as heck...and no one ever has a clue that its a knife. Its made it through countless " weapons screenings". You would have to take a very close at it to tell that it is indeed a knife. I've given them away as gifts a bunch of times. They always later told me, "Man...that little key thing you got me is awesome!"

Oooo, I want one! I would love to have one of these for work. Right now when something breaks or needs fixed I have to go get my Wave out of my bag, this thing could be worn on my badge or in my pocket. Ohhh, I like it! Gotta get one.

There was a guy at Blade this year selling tiny little bowies he'd made out of pennies, along with the penny he'd cut them out from, showing the complete silhouette within the penny. My guess is that edge retention is not particularly stellar.
 
Small, those are not that small. :D

Seems as if they are still shipping out to those that participated in the survey. I received mine in the mail yesterday.

Thats the one I've been bouncing around getting. How do you like. Strictly a collectible or can you actually open letters and slice tape to open boxes?

Anyone looking to score a Utilikey check out your local Price Club, CostCo,etc. they have them packaged with a mag light and groovy little multiplier for $15.
 
I've had it for years, and it is attached to a keychain. The mechanism is not durable, and doesn't "flip" anymore. The blade is not sharp except at the tip, which is very sharp. One could sharpen this blade I expect, if need be, to open mail etc. I have a Buck 425 that is on my keychain. It is just a little bigger and does all that stuff.
 
Here's the smallest knife I have, a Sypderco Mini Mariner. It makes my Bug and SOG Fusion look large.

Going through a pile of mail after returning from a trip this week, I found the Micron had arrived and it is the cutest thing! Its first use was to open the rest of my mail :) . It went onto my key ring immediately, taking the place of a Utilikey, and I've been using or playing with it since.
This is my first tactical folder :D .

As a promotional item, I'll bet this one will get SOG some attention. It worked on me ;) .
