Contest: What is on your keychain?
I love to see things reduced to their smallest possible form while still maintaining function.

To enter, post below a photo of the object or tool and give a link where it can be obtained or a brief description of how it was made.
Bonus points if it's something you find useful enough to actually carry with you everyday.

Can you tell us where you got the mini multi-tool?
It is a Quarrow brand that is sold by the Bass Pro Shops. I think that Orvis may also sell them. Its called the "Turtle".
I don't have a wide variety of things on my keychain, I do have a lot of a few things.....the keys to my house are a bit old as you can see, and then there are the 20+ customer tracking tabs, and one brass George Killian's Irish Red bottle opener.
Nothing overly interesting, except the one skeliton key (upper left hand side).
Pandora's Box and inside of it is one of Chuck Noriss's beard hairs. Does that win anything?
Maybe.
If you post a picture of what happens when you open Pandora's box.

Ooo, mine is chock full of goodies....I will have to take a picture or you might not believe me :-)
Aside from my keys, the only thing attached to my keychain is a CRKT H.U.G. pocket knife. I used to have a mini flashlight but the battery ran out and I never replaced it.

Oh, through the last hole in the handle. I have a small ring there, that loops through the larger keyring.
Not exactly "useful", but it was fun and turned out well:

Here's a keychain that I made. It doesn't have a purpose of use, but it has meaning to it.
