All in the title really, what's your favourite key-chain knife and why? I carry around a Victorinox Swisslite 2 (think that's what it's called) and intend on adding a Photon 2 and a Spyderco Jester.
Gotta love those gadjets :D
 
i love my Spyderco police necklace knife that resides on my keychain. sure, the chisel grind is designed for lefites (dunno why), but it is TINY, SUPER lightweight, SCARY sharp, and has a great lock. i carry my keys all day in my dress / suit pants, and cannot have too much stuff on my keychain, as otherwise it eats the pockets. i DO have a jester though and think it is fantastic!! i just carry it loose in another pocket
 
I recently swapped out the Spyderco Ladybug plain-edge I've been carrying for a Jester. Hard to imagine anything that could beat the Jester for usability in that size range.

Ladybug-II is my choice. Nice to have a sheepsfoot blade in case of emergency. I've got plenty of other pointy knives on me.
 
my vote is also for the Ladybug2...like a folding steak knife though...most people don't like that design on a knife that small...
 
The Ladybug's tip is a bit too delicate and fragile for my taste. The Jester's tip is handy for controlled cutting. As a backup there's my SwissTech Utili Key with it's PS blade.
 
On my key is the Victorinox Cassic SD with sign (cancer). I need the scissors and the toothpick very often. Also a simple one hand knife from Magnum the Mini Stuby, and a mini switchblade.
 
My favorite keychain knife would be the Leatherman Micra. It sure comes in handy. I use it almost every day for something.
 
I love the Victorinox <a href="http://swissarmyexpress.com/swisarredram.html">Rambler</a>, which basically is a Classic that has been upgraded to include a cap lifter and small Phillips screwdriver tip. I only wish they came in some other colors besides red. No problem with red, mind you, it’s just that it'd be nice to have a choice.
 
Mine is the alox classic. It is significantly thinner than the normal red ones so takes up a little less space.
 
i only carry the Victorinox Executive (cuz i got it for free)but i use it a lot actually, for the strangest things like to cut my hangnails (with the small blade). The Exec also has an orange peeler as one of the tools and i've used it a couple of times already, it worked amazingly well.

At the moment I have a Micra, but am thinking of getting an actual locking knife as well.

I love my little chive - but I've been thinking about getting one of the new little spydercos. But, the problem is.. do any of them have both a clip *and* a hole for a keychain? I wish the jester had a clip.

I like to clip the knife to the pocket and have the keys dangle off it in the pocket. Easier to find the keys that way. :)
 
I have carried a Leatherman Micra on my key chain for a couple of years. It has come in handy many times.
 
Leatherman Micra, those scisors are what do it for me. I carry a real knife for cutting stuff.
 
I've had a Spyderco Ladybug on my keychain for about 2yrs now without a single problem...tough little bugger :)
 
Since I usually have a larger knife on me as well and always an ARClight on my keychain I carry the VIC minichamp on my keychain. I use the toothpick and scissors a lot for grooming tasks. There's nothing more embarrasing than going to a meeting at work and having something stuck in your teeth or catching a hang nail on something and having it rip up your finger. Also, that angled/hooked blade is great for cutting out splinters.
 
Spyderco Ladybug and Leatherman Micra. Handy little buggers that don't scare the office sheeple I work with.
