Pocket/keyring knife

[ColinBr]

Looking for suggestions on a small pocket knife or keyring knife for the wife.

She's been badgering me to get her something so she can open boxes at work.

Thanks in advance

The Spyderco Honeybee knife defies both nature and expectation that something this small performs such a grand maneuver.

I have same Victorinox classic little knife and its really handy but if shes predominantly doing cardboard boxes then a serrated blade is better.

Spot on wife's lives in her handbag wherever we go a useful bit of kit.

If it is literally going to be used just for opening boxes I’d personally go with something simple with replaceable blades, like this:

If it’s for general utility, and occasional opening of boxes, then the SAK is a great option.

I have a bunch of spydies, and love them to bits, but I do find they tend to be designed to appeal to men rather than women.

You could also consider the Leatherman Squirt range, though they are heavier and chunkier. Theu come in different anodised colours and you can get different grades too;
P - pliers tool
PS - pliers and mini scissors
S - big scissors instead of pliers

Whatever you get I'd suggest that you get one with the main blade at the opposite end to the keyring. They are a lot more practical in use IMHO.

I also have one of these which although not for a keyring are not too big. Available in various colours and more versatile for cardboard boxes, rope etc. with the half plain half serrated blade

I have shown her a few of the suggestions and she's going with the SAK classic.

Was it the nail file that swung it?

Haha probably would have been

And did you buy the Spydie for yourself at the same time?
