I have always been interested to know what people carry on their keyrings. I expect a wide array of answers and it will be interesting to see how large of a knife/multi-tool people can tolerate on their keyring before it makes the keyring as a whole too big in the pocket.

Personally I carry a SAK Manager. I used to carry the LM Micra, but to me the implements were too much trouble to use because of the need to unfold the scissors each time. With my SAK, I can access everything immediately - plus I get a removable tweezer and a ballpoint pen that comes in handy quite often.

Thanks, Bucky
 
I like to keep my keys pretty light. Several years ago I split my key ring in two, The less used half of the set hangs on the headlight switch in the jeep.

The half I carry has keys for the jeep, the house, my office on it along with a leather fob, and a SwissTech Mini plier, and a SwissTech Utilikey.

I carry an SAK officers model on my keyring. Not too threatening to use in front of the sheeple.

The Leatherman Mini Tool is absolutely the best thing to have with you when something unexpected happens. Tweezers, nail files, scissors, etc are nice to have around, but the strong pliers of the Leatherman will bail you out of serious trouble.

Once in a powerboat with a broken oil pipe, 10 miles from the shore, and once in a car with a blown turbo intake collar, 50 kms from civilisation, I have been saved twice from serious trouble with the help of my Mini-Tool.
 
two sets:

A Spyderco Ladybug on the smaller set for a razor sharp small blade when I need one.

A LM Micra on my house keys for day-to-day chores and cutting tags off clothes for people who would jump at the sight of my Axis <*not* my wife

LM Micra and an orange Photon II (thinking of replacing it with the white). Works real well, and just about everyone who sees it has to comment on how "cute" it is (this did not happen often when I had my keys on a Spyderco Endura!)
 
A Spyderco Ladybug, sheepsfoot/serrated blade.Has come in handy several times, is unobstrusive, and light as a feather.
 
My son just got the Seber M4, it is really slick. You can get at all of the tools except the pliers without opening the gadget. All the blades lock. It rather light for big screws. Here is a link:

I personally carry an old Swiss Teck for backup heavy screw driver and light pliers. These supplement my large SAK.

I carry two key rings. One has a LM Micra and
a carbon fiber Ladybug. The other has a small Victorinox SAK that I cannot name.
 
I have a ladybug knock off junker. I have used this more than any other knife. Never afraid to abuse it. Thinking of putting my mini-GT on them.Allready worried about the finish, never mind abusing the blade.
 
I'm another one that carries a Ladybug and a Micra. My keychain is a nylon strap with a ring on both ends and a fastex buckle in the middle. The micra is on one ring and the Ladybug is on the other along with the keys and a Photon.

I carry the Spyderco Ladybug. Great little knife.

Another satisfied Ladybug user here, and before that a Buck LST, I think. Excellent products for their intended uses.
