Hey Guys....

Sorry the other thread wouldn't allow me to post...

I've always thought,,
Whats the point of having a tool on your keychain, that you can't fully use;always attached to the keys..What if you want to clean your fingernails while waiting for a train to go by..
What a pain in the Arse...

Heres my answer....
Please forgive the lousy picture..The entire roll was like that...

These are my Mirco Series rigs..

Maglight AAA Solitare
Leatherman Micra
Spyderco Ladybug and
Spyderco Dragonfly

Each holder always you to completely remove the tool from it's holder and use it as it was intended to be used..

Whatcha Think ??

In addition to the "normal" items, a Swiss-Tech Util-key. It has come in handy on more than one occasion.
 
Normark,

I quite agree with you regarding the impractical handle of the common keyrings and I understand that you want to bring into prominence your great (!) sheath workmanship but I think the Troika Patent Keyring is a better solution.
With the slide switch (A) you can remove the attached object and furthermore the attached object (B) is 360 degree turnable, which is very practical in the handling.

I have the following on my keychain:

- Ultralite titanium keys
- Schrade folder
- Swisstech tool
- Photo microlight
- Taser glowring
- Remote alarm

Eric,

I've had various things on my keyring over the years: Leatherman Micra, tiny Victorionox, Swisstool, AAA Maglite etc. Lately I've gotten sick of the extra weight and cumbersome stuff so I've removed most of it.

I think your microsheaths are fantastic! You do really nice work as is obvious from the neatly trimmed edges of each piece. You are right that the removability makes a big difference in whether it is worth it to carry all that stuff.

Batangueno: Where do you get Ultralight titanium keys? I want!
 
Hey Peter..

Thanks alot,,I really appreciate the comments..:)

I try and take a minimalist approach to most of my work where less is more...
It works out pretty good..:)

Thanks

Eric...
 
Peter, the titanium keys i got from a shop in a mall here in the Philippines. The brand name is "Ultralite", comes in different colors and they're made in Italy.

Email me if you really want those keys. :)
 
Too cool Eric!

lately I've been carrying a leatherman wave handle,the one with the phillips,slotted,and bottle/can opener,put the clip point blade and the saw in the locking positions and the diamond file and a 2"X.25" metal match(grooved&epoxied to the little tiny screwdriver)where the plier jaws used to be.detents still work!the pliers broke but I couldn't just throw a wave away!
 
Eric,

Do you require the customer to send you a leatherman micra tool for fitting , or are they ready to order?

Thanks,

Steve
 
Hey Guys...

Brent....

how in the Heck did you break a Leatherman Wave ???

Send it back for repair or order a new set of jaws....


Steve...

The Micra rigs are in stock and ready to go..

Shoot me an e-mail and we'll work out the details...

Thanks and I look forward in hearing from you..

I recieved my micra & my dragonfly sheaths last night & I can't stop playing with them.

The dragon fly is just a quick yank and it's in my hand.

The micra sheath is a little different, it requires you to hold the sheath in one hand and the micra in the other & use a "breaking motion", like snapping a pencil motion to free the tool.

This works great to prevent the tool from getting lost if dropped or kids messing with it.

I admit to having to ask Eric about the micra sheath as I thought it was just too tight.

I should have known that eric wouldn't have made it if not perfect.

This was my 3rd order from Eric & I have always been amazed at the attention to detail.

Way to go Eric !!!
 
let's see..

Car keys
House keys
Spark plug gapper
ASP Sapphire
Remington Choke tube wrench.

I figure if all else fails, I can use the choke wrench as a handle, and turn my keys into an impact weapon.:D
 
Hey Eric, Just wanted to say those sheathes look REALLY cool. I had been making due with the long bulky, "take-apart" keychain thingies. Probably be emailin' ya soon to see if you could whip somethin' up to fit a zytel handled Spydie Mini-Dyad.
 
Eric,

I'm having trouble sending you an email. I keep getting a message saying that the email address is not recognized?

Steve
 
are some keys. . .and a Heineken bottle opener. :(

Have been waitin' for one of those Dogman mini-fixed blade key ring additions. . . :D
 
Hey Uncle..

Excellent..

Thanks much....

I'm glad you got it working...:)
I guess I should have expllained how to do it first Eh..LOL:)

Runs.....

Sure a mini Dyad wouldn't be a problem at all..Spydercos are excellent for making neck rigs..They have nice features that make the job fairly easy...
