Boker keycom or CRKT Shrimp

[yatsunil]

Hi guys! I'm interested in getting one of the above knives for my keychain edc. Just wondering if any of you have any experience regarding these small blades. My uses are pretty basic - cutting cardboard packaging and thin string etc, maybe the occasional fruit
If you have any other small knives to recommend, please feel free to chime in. My budget is around 30 bucks and if you can link a store that ships international, that would be great.

Cheers

If you have any other small knives to recommend

Personally, I'd put this one my key ring, if I'd need one:

This one might be a tad too large for a key ring knife,
but it is the best of the cheap knives that I bought so far:

Though you may want to check if carrying a one-hand opening
and/or locking knife is legal where you live.

For key ring knives with additional gadgets, there's the Buck Metro series,
the CRKT Cicada, the Mantis NecessiKey, and the like.

If you don't need the hole for the key ring, you'll have a nearly infinite choice
of small knives among the traditional American pocketknife pattern.
E.g. peanuts, doctor's knives, small toothpicks, and the like.

Here's another source with a good choice of mini-knives:

Also take a look at the Joker Mouse on this site.

The mini SAKs and the Leatherman Style and Squirt series might also be
worth to consider.

Finally, here are some Pictures of some of my minis:
