I was in a place called the container store, but I'm sure they can be bought online. This goes on you keyring like any other key, and is about the size and shape of a key, but it opens up with a knife with a serrated edge, phillips screw driver, flat blade, bottle opener, and even an eyeglass screwdriver. I didn't take a pic of mine but I found the site here:
http://www.swisstechtools.com/produc...D=VZ75GDTdP68A I like that when you open it up it releases itself from your keyring to make it easier to use, but you need to really pull it to open it so it's not going to fall off. If you go to thier home page they also offer some other neat little pieces too... http://www.swisstechtools.com/products.aspx |

I had one of those for over 10 years, they're really great. Just don't forget to take it off your keyring before you go to the airport. It's easy to forget about it because it just blends in with your other keys. Before 9/11 it wasn't a problem, but now security people at the airport are real sticklers. They will see it and they will not let you keep it, trust me.

It held up really well. The stiffness of opening it does get less and less, but the snap that you feel at the last bit of closing it stays tight. I never had it come open on its own. With all this talk about it I'm gonna have to buy another one!

Years ago, I nearly had my Swiss Champ taken at the airport(Pre 9-11). Me and my group were flying Commercial and I didn't even think about my SC in my pocket. I'd flown before with my simple Schrade 3 blades and such and they never gave it a thought either. Well, The lady picks up my Swiss Champ and started opening up every single blade and tool that was on it. She even pulled out the straight pin. By the time she was through it looked like a display model. She then looked at me very seriously and said:"Sir you can't bring this on board. It could be used as a weapon. I looked at her puzzled and said: "Ma'am, it's a Swiss Army Knife and the Swiss are a neutral country and they don't have weapons." She looked at it for a minute and then as if the lights switched on, she closed it all back and handed it to me and apologized for holding me up. My 1st Sargent was standing next to me in utter disbelief at 1. Me being able to pull something like that out of my "thin air"........ and 2. Her actually buying it. On the flight back I made sure I packed it in my bag. |

you can get them at staples too. my only qualm is opening it is a bit of a pain; i find myself having to slip my fingernail between the blade and the screwdriver. but a handy little "tool" to have on the keyring.
