On a plane? No way. Everywhere else except jury duty, hell yes.

I have a nice hole in my leg from a key chain of similar design.

How did that happen? Wasn't it sheathed?

Yes it was but here's the story. My keychain was one of those cheap thing you buy in Chinatown, and sheat was constantly fallign off. It was raining I had a loose cargo pants on and instead of hanging key chain on belt loop I threw it in my pocket. I sat down and keys must have aligned themselves perpendicular to my leg and wet fabric stretched over them just pushed them towards my body. Since tips of my keys are soft they slided down but sharp point of key knife went inch and a half deep into my leg. Not a horrible injury but inconvinient one.

1.5 inches in the thigh in the wrong place and you hit the Femoral Artery (as I'm sure you know) This could have been much worse than inconvenient!

Yes. It could have been much worst. But somehow my femoral artery is in the wrong spot since I one took six inches of rebar wire into my tight got 10 sitiches and was fine. Also after watching Rambo I when I was 15 I jumped off the house roof onto the tree that was supposed to break my fall like in the movie but ended up getting branch stuck in my tight which required 15 stiches (yes that was dumb). I think my artery is well hidden. <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Cool? Yes. But it seems a bit expensive for something that is very limited in its uses. JMHO
