Atwood Skeeter

[JaGWiRE]

Atwood Skeeter, what's your thoughts?
Was thinking of getting one for my keychain. It would be easily removable as what attaches to the keychain is the sheath (so just take the sheath off the keychain.)
I am still considering something like a spyderco spin or something as a secondary EDC, but not sure.

I like it, but it is a small knife, so it has to fit your needs in that respect. It is razor sharp.
I Microclip the sheath to the keychain so just removing the Skeeter from the sheath is fine.

Do you have a photo of your setup?
Something like a cricket or spin would not have a much longer cutting edge, and I think would be bulkier and inconvenient if I ever need to remove from my keychain. I'm guesing it's about the same length as my Fenix L0D-CE.
PS, how wide is the skeeter exactly, with or without sheath?

I jumped on a couple Skeeters when I saw them on the Atwood site. Always thought I might want a Booger or Microcard, but the Skeeter was a much nicer little knife, IMO. With the sheath (1-3/8" x 2-7/8") it makes a nice pocket tool. The knife protrudes another 7/8" out of the sheath and is about 3-1/4" total. I'm very happy with my Skeeters, much more so than I think I would have been with the Booger or Microcard, though they have their advantages too, I'm sure.

I got a skeeter from a member here at CPF and I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I EDC it aroud my neck 4 days of the week...Awesome knife, so small and light I sometiems forget I am wearing it around my neck, lol, but for its size its a workhorse...really sharp, and its very secure in the sheath so no worries about it falling out...I have not yet tried to carry it on ym keys, but im sure it would work great...just keep in mind how small it actually is...I use mine for openign up mail and other tasks when I dont want to scare people with my big folders, lol...
