Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: Victorinox keyring appreciation
« Last post by IMR4198 on Today at 08:45:13 PM » I have SAKs with the keyring and without. I wouldn't dare carry a 58mm without a keyring. I am terrible about losing things. I carried a 58mm MiniChamp for 30 days in a challenge and recently several 58mm Classics in another challenge. I knew I would have to tie them to something or lose them.
I usually just use an extra bootlace to tie the little Vics to a belt loop. If I am in the woods, I generally carry a Victorinox 108mm which has a hole through it. That gets the tether. Can't afford to lose knives in the woods. Lots of members tie these nice paracord dangling lanyards. I never got into that, and never really saw very many of them before I joined up here.
I carried a black Tinker in the woods a few years back. And promptly lost it. I finally found it after looking all over creation. The blades had begun to look mottled and the aluminum liners had corroded some. It was hard to open any blades, but I oiled it and freed it up eventually. That one had no tether because it didn't have a key ring, or the key ring nub. Still doesn't. Best wishes G
