99 cent folder in '62 I was 9 years old, still have it.
Any pictures of these dollar keychain knives?This a bit weird,,,
But I'll post it anyways.
I once was a regular at a restaurant bar,,,
I made friends with most of the waiter/waitress staff.
When I found out that the owner mad them park way out in the dark/dangerous/boonies,,,
I made them all key chains with a $1.00 knife attached to it.
They were Chinese made and very cheap.
But I did put a fine cutting edge to all of them
The theory was that they would walk to their cars (in the dark),,,
With the knife open on the key Fob I made for them.
Believe it or not it worked,,,
One young lady was accosted going to her car,,,
She went all Tasmanian Devil on the man who attacked her.
He was arrested later that night,,,
After he went to an emergency room,,,
To get treated for all of the knife cuts he had received.
It doesn't matter if it's a mega-buck custom blade,,,
Or a cheaply manufactured pocket knife.
It's all in how you use it.
Just like guns.

And the reviewer was completely wrong.

it would loosen up after opening it a few times. I was thinking of putting Loctite on it but the fifth day I had it the spring snapped

Never been much a fan of a knife on a keychain as I feel they'd be too small to be of use, but too big would be pain to carry around. I am a fan of keychain lights however.
paid $7 with discount
That's impressive discounts on a $25 MSRP folder!
I get upset with the small pockets on men's summer shorts sometimes, often the front pockets are not deep enough to keep things from spilling out when seated. I hadn't thought of the even smaller scale on woman's garments.It would of been recently with a Kershaw Shuffle II, paid $7 with discounts. I purchased it because it's thin and lower profile - woman's jeans are not fitted to have deep and loose pockets in smaller sizes, so it's beneficial to have a slim profile knife to cut tape, boxes, etc with. I'm not a big fan of the liner lock as it's difficult to press in, but I've thrown some Ballistol on it in hopes that it'll work itself in one day. The plus side is I suppose it truly does lock into place with no wiggle for a budget knife, but as a result it's difficult to press in that liner lock. I've used it as a workhorse.
ozark trail
AND it is a rip off of the CRKT M16.
The ozark took looked to be junk though.
If you shop around online you can at times find some insane sales on knives. I mostly focus on Cold Steel because the quality is there and I've bought machetes for $5. When big online retailers who aren't specifically selling blades want to dump such things, they basically move them at cost or below. Right now the CS Bushman $12 on Amazon and it comes with a sheath and flint striker fire starter. I mean, how can you go wrong?That's impressive discounts on a $25 MSRP folder!
Did you see the shipping times for that Bushman? “usually ships in one to two months...”If you shop around online you can at times find some insane sales on knives.

Amazon quotes times longer than usual. My guess is it'd take three weeks. Big deal, I don't need the thing tomorrow.Did you see the shipping times for that Bushman? “usually ships in one to two months...”
