I have a keychain. No, make that a BALL and (key)chain, there's so much stuff on it. And all that stuff makes it hard to carry, lumpy in the pocket and/or jingly-jangly on the belt clip, and plays hell on the car ignition with all that weight tugging down on the keyhole, not to mention the arc-shaped worn-out area on the dash that it creates.
So I decided to streamline things, and part of it was realizing my separate light and small knife had to go. Thought about the TekTite Knife Light, but wanted a REAL knife with a good-sized blade that LOCKS open (TekTite blade is only like two inches or less and doesn't lock open securely), plus a pocket clip so I don't clog up my keychain again.
Anyway I found out that Tool Logic made such a device, and in fact it's made in Seki City -- those of you into knives knows it's a town in Japan where blademaking is an art and a longstanding tradition, dating back to the original samurai sword-making days. This Tool Logic knife has a hole in the blade like the Spydercos (also made in Seki City) for easy one-hand opening, as well as a metal pocket clip, and a bright white led, a small waterproof storage compartment in the handle, a built-in emergency survival whistle, etc.
So I found a place that showed pictures and described it:
The only thing is that it's not coming out until June 1st, and it's not that cheap, about $40 bucks before shipping.
Well, being a former knife distributor (another hobby sickness from the past just like this dang flashlight thing today) and still holding my wholesale license agreement with several companies, I inquired with them and ordered a few (there's always a minimum order to get it for almost half off) and they should be coming in soon. But I only need two (one for me and one for my brother-in-law) so the rest of them are available, with shipping first to me and then out to your doorstep they should still be like only $29.
Please drop me an e-mail if you're interested. And then if there are any left after that I will post them on Buy/Sell later.
