Upgraded the keychain.

Can you tell about the pry tool? I like the looks of it.

Clearly it is a problem. I don't know how big it is; I just know I can't think of another locking system that has more complaints.

I've handled one and it felt cheap to me. Yes, I know it's supposed to be lightweight. I have an old Gerber bolt action that is lightweight and is far more solid. I can't believe how much Benchmade charges for them. To me, it's a $50 knife at best.

Sharp Guy: That is a regular production Manbug.
I wish I bought a few more Ladybugs with stainless handles. I have one but they're so great I wish I had a back up. I've searched on eBay and they almost never come up.
