@@Robert_Thomas832 If the miniChamp had a layer less, it'd be perfect, but as it is it's just too thick (for me). I have a Manager, Rambler & miniChamp. Always end up switching back to my Manager; lighter, has a pen, tweezers (or toothpick), blade, magnetic Phillips, nailfile and small flathead screwdriver. Thing is perfect IMHO as a keychain carry or 5th picket knife.

Cool. I recently got the Jetsetter to try the magnetic combo tool, pretty handy as I tend to carry a main blade and find that on the small SAK a bit flimsy. Have a good day.

6:37 my wife and I have had the classic Swiss Army knife for over 15 years, and replaced them many times after having to toss them before going into a concert. For the issue with the keychain loop being close to the knife, I use a lobster claw keychain clasp on the knife side, and the lobster claw to attach to keychain. This makes it very easy to detach from clunky keys and it does not get in my way when using that knife, which I do multiple times per week. You could also do it the other way around.

I have 58mm Victorinox Signature Lite- the brother of the 58mm Classic SD. On the place of toothpick and tweezers there are LED light and pen. Good tool! Plus one more combo tool with bottle opener and Philips crewdrover- the Signature Lite becomes a Victorinix Midnight Manager. It another good tool!

I carried that SOG key for years to always have something to open boxes, etc. passed thru airports many times. Then a sport arena security caught it going in and took it. Airports should hire them. lol Since then I’ve carried that WESN. Removed its belt clip for better keychain carry. It’s LEGIT knife. 100% a high end blade and easy one hand open. Perfect as a usable key fob

Another one I'd highly recommend is the Bokerplus Mini Techtool 1, or the Ruike S11 - both are the same, made in the same factory, under different brands. I have the Ruike version. It has a Sandvik 12C27 blade, with a good thickness for it's size, and a reasonably strong backspring.

I’ve owned three of the SOG key knives over the years. I really liked my first one, and the two I bought after I lost the first are useful enough, though I’d swear the second and third are somehow slightly worse quality. It might just be the nostalgia for my first key knife talking…

Gerber sucks (but one their product i think is great -- the armbar slim) Victorinox more keychain than knife or tool Opinel good for precision tasks SOG is a good hidden lifesafer, but while it has a big SOG logo (not hidden), it will be taken from you before it could be usefull ^-)) But BEST EDC keychain boxopener is Kershaw -- it`s actually better than BigIdea TPT, because it`s not just box opener, also a bottle opener! UPD: TPT can also open bottles, but until razor blades could be dammaged)
