My wife came in all excited yesterday, about a gift she bought me. It was a tiny little Victorinox keychain knife, had a tiny penn blade, combo bottle opener, and small phillips head, nail file, scissors, small flat screwdriver, pharmacists spatula, and a neat little pen and red L.E.D. light. I did my best to fein excitment, and I do think the pen and L.E.D. are neat, though it's too tiny to be of much use for anything else. It's not flat like most keychain knives, it's to thick to carry comfortably in my pocket. It's the first interest she's ever shown in knives, and the first knife she's ever bought me, and I'm determined to carry it, just because she gave it to me. Now my question is, how best to incorperate it as part of my everyday gear. Suggestions?

You're right! It's a breakthrough that you shouldn't do anything to discourage. My wife bought me a 24kt K.I.S.S. - the one with the gold plated clip, etc. I'm a Spyderco fan and the K.I.S.S. just doesn't fit into my EDC. BUT, it does occupy a central place of honor in the display case where I keep most of my knives. Try leaving pictures of what you really want laying in obvious locations arouns the house before your next birthday

I think that was a nice little gift from your wife...Just feel happy that it is a Victorinox, and not a POS from China or Pakistan.
you're talking about the midnight minichamp II. i have one on my keychain and i absolutely love it! get used to it, it is a nice little tool. compared to what most people here carry around all day (knives, flashlights, knifes, space pens, knifes, multitools, oh,and more knives) i'm surprised you think its too big.
