Sneaking in at the end of Monday.

In case anyone is wondering from my photo above why I'd have a tiny lanyard on a 58mm, I call it my "two-finger lanyard". I can get two fingers through it securely and still use the tools.

Inspired by using the micro-light to look behind my clothes dryer while stretched over the top of it. I really didn't want to drop my MiniChamp behind the dryer and have to drag the thing out to retrieve it.   :(

I generally do a small lanyard on mine too.  Fellow on an EDC group asked about lanyards and I told him that the knife dictates what kind of lanyard is appropriate.

Return of the prodigal!  My wife was going through some of her stuff and found my old Skinny MiniChamp (top in photo). :woohoo:  When I bought it, I thought it was thick for such a small knife, but the newer model is, well, let's just say that the scales do make it look fat.

Depending on how long it's been lost, it might be like getting a new SAK.   ;)

It is!   :climber:  It also gives me hope that the 111 she had is still around here somewhere.

I posted this in the Pocket Rocket Challenge the other day.
I wonder when or if it'll turn back up again.
I'm fairly certain that I have more MiniChamps that I need, but I do miss the bead and my spoon handle pull.

Excellent uses awl  :tu:

Today the MiniChamp started off the destruction of a duplicate credit card (the bank sent two in error  :dunno: )

The scissors did ok initially, but it was a tough ask and they needed some help  ::)

Decided to carry the MiniChamp at home today (O/G Surge for work as usual)

No uses for either today  ::) because;

1) I was delivering training at work.

2) At home nothing is broken....yet*

What are the little metal pieces attached to the lanyard? Very cool-looking, as is the little Alox MiniChamp!

I like the pull that you have on the MC, Barry.  Kinda fits well with it.
