I picked up a Victorinox belt hanger and some Nite Ize rings with the tiny s-biners today. Going to try to use more modern tech and update my summer keychains, maybe it'll work out better. That belt hanger looks real good so far, clamps to a pocket rim just fine too.

Waking up an old thread, I'm pretty sure that's the Pico Widgy Bar, not the Micro Widgy Bar.

I did that when I was young and strong.

Happened just the other day during the TSA airport pat-down, with empty pockets. You would think that no one had ever seen an old guy in a thong before...


I just shot milk out my nose! ROTFL!!!!

How do you like the Pico Widgy compared to the other sizes? Is it much less noticeable on a key chain? Does it fail at some tasks a bigger Widgy can do?

Thanks Izzy, I did not know the steel type and had never heard of AISI 316Ti -- good info.

I don't carry a dedicated keychain just for EDC stuff. But I do keep an Inova Microlight, a P38 and a compass on my regular keychain along with my keys.

I like the keychain approach too. This is my most recent EDC keychain configuration. This one has lasted several months, so I think I am on to something... at least for myself that is.

This is mine as it sits in my purse today. I have to admit, I like carrying it in my purse (late Spring through Early Fall) better than in my jacket pocket. This is the bare minimum I take when I leave the house:



Paracord bracelet
Fox 40 whistle
Fauxton
LMF Ferro
Pill FOB (contains Tylenol and Advil right now)
Monkey fist
Shopping cart coin
Keys (Jeep, hubby's truck, house, garage)
SAK (Given to me by my dad when I was in high school. I have no idea what model is is. It's from the late 80s and includes big blade, little blade, saw, scissors, awl, cork screw and can opener)

Edit Reason: typo: "coin" not "cpin". Stupid tablet!
