Benchmade keychain knife, needed
A quality key chain knife is an item missing in line up. Traveling into NYC a really small knife is all I feel comfortable carrying these days. Thinking ahead to when TSA allows small knives back on planes it would be great to have a Benchmade

I would buy on if the price was right. 0 -
Something like a simple lock back with polymer scales and a 1.75" 440C blade for $20-25 would be perfect. I don't expect it to happen though.
The smallest knife Benchmade offers is the Megumi and other than that I guess it's the 707. I'd love to see something about the size of the SOG Flash II for $50-75.0 -
If you can find a BM 770 or 771 , it would make a great keychain knife. 0 -

The 770 is indeed a great little knife.
There is one smalllll problem with it in this aspect though, no lanyard hole or way to attach it to a key ring.0 -
I have and occasionally carry a 770 depending on what I'm wearing and/or where I"m going. I'd be tough pressed to consider it a key chain knife unless you're one of those people that has 18 different key fobs daisy chained together and hangs halfway to the floor.
I'd think the 330 would be a better choice if you really wanted to put one on your key chain, but even that is a bit big for my taste to have in such a place. It's thinner than the 770, or any other Benchmade that I can think of, and probably is the lightest knife they've ever made. The KOTM from January would be the ideal one of the line to try it with.

I was going to say something like that for twenty bucks with 420HC steel but last time I asked for something similar I got hate mail.0 -
770 is a really good knife but bigger than I was thinking of. More to rival the Ladybug or AG's keychain knife but with Benchmade quality & ambidextrous. Regards to all Bill 0 -

I like this knife... But I would prefer to carry AXIS knife. What would be the smallest size it can be "useful" though?0 -

There's nothing wrong with the quality of the Ladybug or AG's little knives, especially at their price points. A mini-Axis is going to be a lot more $.

I don't know the answer to how small you can shrink the Axis lock and still have it work reasonably easily. I had a CRK Umfaan and sold it because it was just too small to deal with.

Now that all of the competitor is out, I can name the one I like the concept of. Spydie's DF2/ Cat is very nice small blade. I wish BKC makes one like DF2/ Cat. That 50% choil can really choke and almost like having a talon in your hand, yet secure enough to hold onto.

Yes ladybug is a nice knife at it price. I want Benchmade quality with high end material Blue class not Gold class 0
