I like 58mm for keychain carry.  Right now I have a midnite manager on my keys as i gifted my green 58mm signature.

I have a rambler connected to a flashlight and I have two executives with a srew holding the scizzors together, indicating they are pre-1990s.

One is mint that I never use and the other I carry daily for work(on vacation till 1/5/15).  It is small and non threatening and its probably against the rules for me to carry at work but no one complains when they need a small screwdriver.

At home I carry a 91mm and sometimes 111mm depending on tasks at hand.

I hope the Victorinox Design team reads this thread and make a model of 74mm vic  Executive with a phillips combo tool and a pen.  They would sell like hot cakes.

They could call it the manager deluxe

I have 2 keyrings and on the one that is in my pocket while I'm working is my Manager.  Sometimes I need a pen and I have an Inka pen on that keyring, the Manager gives me a backup.
On another keyring I have my Rambler, I don't tend to need a pen with that keyring but the toothpick has been useful more than once.

For keyring SAKs I think that the Manager and Rambler are great choices!

On my desk in front of me is my Executive, I mainly use it to file my nails.

For having only about 16 people in your country we sure have a high percentage of NZ folks around here.

On topicwise I am so a fan of the Rambler/Manager over the 74. If I am going small then I want small, if we are talking 74mm I might as well grab my Compact imo. Don't even get me started on how sexy the combo tool is.

My daughter has battery issues with one of her toys she will make a bee line to daddy and heaven forbid I do not have a #1 phillips available right that second!

The only real question for me is of the three scale tools which two? Pen, Toothpick or Tweezers. Pretty sure I want pen and toothpick but when you need tweezers you really need them.

All four :o ... pen & light on keychain midnite manager/minichamp, T&T on 85/91 SAK, simple as that :D Red light, of course, so you can write down a note in the dark and you do not reveal your position :angel: ;)

Blue Rambler for me. The Phillips is perfect for my sunglass screws and removing the screws when replacing watch batteries

I have Executives in red, white and black, INMO it makes for a good keyring knife, never threatening, especially here in the UK but a reasonable size, I also have a couple of managers, but find them a bit on the small side.

I do have a very nice Director, but that lives in a box, pity it does not have a keyring attached, I would hate to lose that one.
