My keychain weighs about a pound, and more than half the weight is gadgets and knives. The biggest knife I carry on my keys is a SAK Tinkerer. What's the biggest knife on yours?:D
 
I carried a Spyderco Ladybug for a long time, then a Spyderco Jester, but I finally replaced that with a Swiss-Tech Utili-Key. I am never without a larger knife so my keychain blade is just an emergency backup.

Currently have a Utilikey and Buck Minitool on my keys. I had the ladybug there for a while and now my mother has it(I managed to convert her this far)...

I always have at least a 3" on me, so the size isn't a big matter, it's just too many damn sheeple around.
 
I'm always sensitive about the size of my keys as I'm often in business atire and a giant keyring is out of place. Usually I keep my house/office keys in my briefcase or in the console of the car and keep only my ignition key/alarm remote and a Photon III in my pocket (two piece keyring). On my days off when I wear Levis or cargo pants/shorts, I carry the whole rig, but even with no knives it's pretty large with all my keys and the Arc AAA Le on the man part.

Besides, I always have a more useful blade than can be kept on a keyring and an AlMar cash clip for tiny tasks.

I don't use a key-ring...I use a key-wallet, but since my Cold Steel Vaquero Grande has a lanyard hole, I GUESS it could be thought of as my LARGEST key-ring knife.:D.:eek:.:D.
 
The TiNi CrossCut is what I've carried for years (now, as of a few days ago, being carried in a Micro Rigs sheath by On/Scene Tactical).

As you can see, I have a dang big key ring. But, I have them segmented. I have my car key (and alarm fab) on one ring, my wife's car key (and alarm fab) on another ring, while I have all my other keys on a separate ring, and the TiNi CrossCut on its own ring. All is brought together by a carabiner (I have several in different colors...depends on my "mood") in which I can separate a portion in a second (like if I just want to drive my car without the keys to the universe) or attach the keys to a belt loop on my pants (for that tacky "janitorial" look...but at times very convenient). I'll often stow the whole ring, except for my car keys, when running into a store, for the simplicity and ease of carry. This all works really, really well for me.

I set my wife up with a similar system. She often has to give a student keys for something (she's a public school teacher) and doesn't want to give all her keys. If only she could carry a CrossCut on school campus without it being called a "dangerous weapon," but that's another topic! :(

I hooked my BM Pinnacle onto my keyring for a day just to give a friend a hard time about the little 1" SAK on his keychain :D
 
The only knife on mine is a micra, but at one time I had a large SAK on it, not sure which model it was but it just became too inconvenient to have on my keyring and now that I've taken it off, I can't find it.
 
My largest keychain knife is a Victorinox Cadet. The main blade is just under 2.5" and the overall length is about 5 3/4". I like it because it has a nail file and the basic bottle and can opener/screwdrivers to go with the main spearpoint blade.
