WITHARMOUR DEM1 3" EDC Keychain Mini Survival Pocket Knife: Perfect for Everyday Carry and Outdoor Adventures

sunsean: I had a keychain knife that looked like a key that I had to surrender at an MLB security checkpoint (forgot to remove it, my bad) - unfortunately they don't sell the same product on Amazon anymore so I got this to replace it.

The blade itself is sharp and good enough for a key knife, but within a week of owning it it's already failed in 2 places. The little finger-lever that is attached to the blade for one-hand opening fell off/broke, and the small chain-link on the attachment also broke off.

I was able to still make it work by attaching my key ring to the hole in the knife handle, but all in all I have to say it's poor quality to fail so quickly.

R. J. Lazzarini: It's small, compact, and very lightweight as it's meant to be.
This is a knife which can be carried around in one's side or change pocket inconspicuously. No lumps, no bulges.
It's blade is very sharp, and I especially like the black oxidized look.
The blade opens up, locks in place, and can be closed securely and very easily.
It has a nice slip proof handle for a secure grip.
The chain can be removed very easily if you choose not to use it.
I definitely recommend this knife for those who don't need or want large conspicuous folding knives.

Bennett Barouch: Sharp enough to do the job but not super sharp. You might consider that a minus for some uses, or a plus if you are wary of accidentally cutting your own hand. I would have preferred to get the ame thing with a half-serrated blade, but could not find such a model from this maker in this size. Lastly, the thumb stud unscrews easily and falls off, which would be annoying even if this never resulted in it being lost. I used some threadlock on mine, but this just should not be necessary.

ndez: I'm a big fan of knives. Been a collector of custom and production knives for years. I favor folders over fixed blade. And I really appreciate a well made, easy-to-use, no-frills design that's very affordable. This small knife fits the bill perfectly. It's sturdy and very light weight. The small size means it'll disappear in your pocket until you need it. The blade is sharp when it arrives. When open, the scalloped cutout for your index finger offers a pretty good grip on the small handle.

Some cons: As soon as I got it I removed the funky keychain hardware. I don't understand the reason for the "floating" thumb-button. When walking with the knife in my pocket, it would frequently rattle. The other problem with the thumb-button was that it had a higher profile than the rest of the knife. If you put the knife down on a table, it'd be resting on the button, not the side of the handle. I removed the thumb-button. The remaining oval perforation does not have enough purchase for one-handed opening, so I may fix a small button-head bolt into the slot. (Altho the knife is so small, in my hand one-handed opening is a bit clumsy.) It's really no big deal to open...

GrapefruitTechnique: The media could not be loaded.  I purchased the knife as intended by the title- as an EDC knife. It's really quite small at 3 inches closed. I keep this knife in my wallet and it still folds just fine. Now for the down and dirty details:

MATERIAL
Made from 440x steel- the x denoting that I'm not sure if it's grade a,b, or c. Most likely it's grade as most of witharmour's blades are made with it. It's inexpensive, pretty hard, and easy to take an edge.

DESIGN
Small blade, but quite the features. It features a lockback blade lock, which has a much more positive lock and in terms of closing the blade, it's quite simple and easy. Just press the lock back mechanism located on the spine of the handle and it's closed.

In conclusion it's a great little knife to carry around with you. Don't expect it to do what a $200 Benchmade but it's a great knife to take...
