I have mentioned my keychain1 a couple of times in the past, but never managed to get it properly documented, or even a decent snapshot of it. I took this one just before leaving my office for the holidays, and it turned out okay, so I thought I would share this for now.
This is not something I actually EDC, but rather a collection of pocket tools that I have collected over the past twenty-odd years. I brought it into work one day to show a co-worker, and, well, I haven't taken it home yet. As a matter of fact, our HR department uses it as part of the orientation procedure for new employees: As part of a scavenger hunt/office-familiarization, new employees have to get a picture of themselves taken with it for points. Right now it actually consists of several smaller keychains, attached to a larger Night Ize S-biner carabiner.
A very partial listing of the things on there:
Bison Designs Survival Pod Keyring
Buck Metro Knife
Cl!ck Carabiner, Parachute, Ti2 Para-Biner, Ringtool and a MULTI wallet, that I all ordered through Kickstarter
CRKT Eat'N Tool (I think there is also a Guppy and a Zilla Tool there as well)
Fisher Space Pen
Maglite 1xAAA Mini-Mag (upgraded with LED)
McFeely's Pocketwrench II
P51 and P38 can openers
Peanut lighter and prybars from Countycomm
Schrade Key Chain Pry Tool
Swiss+Tech Micro-Tech, Micro-Max and Screwz-All
the aforementioned Atwood collection
Victorinox SAK (MiniChamp, I think)
There's a lot of other gadgets on there as well, and if there's any interest I would be happy to make a more detailed inventory showing how it all breaks down.
It is just a way to hold all the different gear in place. I do realize that some people who collect similar things like knives have all sorts of trays and boxes and display cases for their collection, but I started this rather organically a long time ago and it just grew from there.
I don't actually walk around the building with it. Most of the time, it sits on top of that bookshelf, unless I am pulling a specific tool off because I need it, or I am adding something to the collection.
Had I actually read your post first instead of immediately going into full on keychain panic attack mode, I may have relaxed a little. That said, nice collection of satan's playthings (keychain anything).
